Was also reading in 1 Corinthians 11 today and chuckled at verse 17 from Paul to the Corinthians:

"In the following directives I have no praise for you, for your meetings do more harm than good." (NIV)

Do more harm than good?! Talk about negative speaking! If the apostle Paul were in the local church today, he would get labeled as negative, poisonous, and quickly quarantined without due process at the next ITERO!!

It's completely nonsensical for any given group to not be able to take "negative speaking". It's a prime setup for the bad to stay bad and get worse, and the good to inexorably diminish over time. And what a shock - that's exactly what has happened.....
