Melas, I too find this comment, not only on it's face, but also in context of all his other comments here (and I have gone through the conversations) to be suspicious.
onetrue, Your pastor asked you to join FR to 'speak the word'? Then you say you thought this a friendly place for Christians? That either does not compute, or you are a real babe in the woods (and could stand a bit of assistance) OR you are manipulator of some sort, trying to infiltrate.
So tell us more...
How about FReepmailing the name of your Church, the City and State, and your pastor's name. I can look the phone number up myself.
Your pastor will then have MY phone number when I call, so you see, I'll be the one running the real risk here.
Otherwise, many of us here will simply look upon you as a possible agent provocateur (as if we didn't have enough accidental, organic ones amongst us already, along with genuine undercover political operatives come to play us from different angles).
Your choice. Prove it, or perhaps lose it.
Send the info...you *might* gain some instant credibility. Then again, perhaps not, depending upon your reply.
Sorry to be so tough on you, but then again you seem to be expecting instant entry into the club. Not so fast...posting privileges are one thing, and you can be free to express opinion, but trust doesn't come easy nowadays, particularly when there is a possible whiff of caricature found in your expressed political/religious views.
