Topics are hijacked all the time, and I was participating in an "all for fun" kind of thing. I am well aware that it's not a cult, but that's what made it funny. <<Once is a joke. Twice borders on offensive. Thrice borders on mean-spirited>> Jokes are repeated all the time on these boards, and especially in the playpen section. It's only mean spirited if it is presented as such. I have NEVER EVER on these boards been mean spirited towards anyone. But, I don't take offense to your comments.

To me, very seriously, it does smack of something resembling less an established, responsible "church" and more of a cult, reading through the posts. I could say more regarding my perceived impression of the leadership but it would be sure to get me admin'd and I refuse to take this off the boards via either email or im.

It's really nice to know that the majority of the people on these boards can talk to each other maturely and responsibility without getting into too much of a rukus! Anyway... ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY CHURRO!

I understand that here online, expression and voice tone are not present, so it's hard to tell when someone's joking. That's why there are these things called emoticons. If someone is going to write something that could be deemed offensive but is meant in jest, I would suggest adding an emoticon at the end. If it's meant in anger or out of a mean-spirit, then I would recommend not saying anything. And to my fellow Churroians, I would say: If someone says anything bad about you, ignore it. If someone says anything good about you, take it in.
