“I want to make a statement about…me…now, if I became deceived, I will never tell you what I’m going to tell you now…I am telling you if I go off into strange ideas, misconduct, rebellion, you name it, don’t follow me. I want to tell you that now, because if I start doing that I’m gonna try to get you to follow me! I’m gonna come to you and tell you it doesn’t apply, it doesn’t mean me, no, no, no, no, no, no, it’s OK to follow me because ABCD and XY and Z. Do you understand what I’m saying? Listen to me now, when I tell you don’t follow me if I go off into weird ideas, or if I get off into other things that are total absolutely unscriptural conduct, because if I do I’m gonna paint it with a different face and try to get you to follow me. Do you understand what I’m saying brethren? Please remember that, because I promise you that if I become deceived, I’ll forget it, and I’ll want you to forget it…And I hope you’ll remember it well enough to quote it right back to me…But I’ll tell you what, I’m not going anywhere.”

On a related note to what you said about Banned By HWA, not only do they steal material without appropriate attribution or permission, they have selectively censored my comments and replies, and then so very inconsistently. Ron Rubottom notes that they have several moderators with different standards for approving or disapproving. They will allow insinuations of living people — specificall , that a young PCG member is homosexual — while at the same time disapproving a far milder assertion that Jesus may have been one. Between that, and the complete anonymity allowed to people commenting, it is affectively impossible to pin anybody down on a matter. Anybody, that is, except me. I am practically the only one who actually identifies himself there.
Effectively, it really is nothing but a place for random anonymous… posters to play.
I don’t agree with everything you say here, James. Sometimes you take a cup-half-empty where I would take a cup-half-full. And I know you have editorial policies on comments. I am posting this here because there’s no way to guarantee it could be posted over there. Hopefully this will stay up, and a few of those people over there will see it.
Some will accuse me of whining. Yet their information is just as subject to censoring as anything Armstrong did.
I have been censored over there also. No big deal. I don’t go there!
