But by a large we're talking about Cahn. And because we're already gun-shy, from the LC, we'er very skeptical and critical of charismatic MEN. And why not?

I get that. I was there too. I think this statement by Jesse Penn-Lewis has helped me more than any piece of advice I've received since my departure. That is "if you don't know the truth of a matter, don't form an opinion until you do know."

I'm still pouring over Cahn's work. Looking for the holes. It may seem to you all that I've formed an opinion, but I'm trying to remain neutral until I know more. I think we could forget that Cahn is the messenger. I'm looking for God in the message. He also has an amount of world history, especially beginning in 1917 following through to 2015 which is pretty interesting. It's hard to argue with history, but I know how that goes.

In fact, Dave is a newbie and it is you that is calling him an attack dog. Just who is the attack dog.

Sorry about that. I've been feeling like a target. I've been doctoring the teeth marks on my little pea-pickin' heart. I will repeat that I was referring to the behavior of an attack dog and not to your person. Sorry I didn't make that more clear. Still, I don't see myself as the aggressor here. There has been plenty of that going around.

I'm not talking about jumping a newbie. I'm talking about jumping ME.

You and I are fine. I enjoyed that conversation too.

So why take it personal sis? It's in God's hands. Right?

I feel like I'm a Texas Rangers short-stop lined up against the (5-1) Dallas Cowboys offensive line.

I don't know about Gnosticism. I haven't looked into it. I do know that you can't treat people with disrespect then criticize someone else for not following the teachings of Christ.
