Yes, that is correct.

[reaganaut]

It was a sim game where you ‘built’ heaven and hell. The main characters was this perky little angel and a demon named Wormwood (but the angel nicknamed the demon “Wormy”).

One of MrR’s favorite lines was Wormy stating “Demons do NOT drink root beer”.

[reaganaut]

Thank you for the clarification.

[Elsie]

Thank you.

Oh I had marriage counseling from a baptist Chaplin when I was in the Air Force.

Was told I would be divorced in three years. It's been 47 years and I'm still waiting. BTW he didn't like Alaska Native ladies. what a hoot.

[BlueMoose]

Thought we were talking about all the poor ministers.

Vow of profit but the Limo is not his, he just uses it when the church that he controls allows him to.

[reaganaut]

Acutally, we were talking about your comment that us antis on here work for the ‘money makers’. An implication that those who run ‘anti’ ministries do it for the money.

There are exceptions (like crooks like this guy) but almost always they are charlatans like Smith rather than real pastors.

People go into real ministry (not televangelism) to preach the word of God, not to get rich.

So, yes I stand by my statement that pastors are generally poor.

[ejonesie22]

And there is no reason you shouldn't. The vast majority of ministers from any number of denominsations I know are far from wealthy. At the most a few of them one would be able to call “comfortable”.

Most I know work two jobs.

[reaganaut]

Same here.

[BlueMoose]

So, yes I stand by my statement that pastors are generally poor.

Ah yes and I think the statement was that not one gets rich from the ministry. now that you have change you opinion to generally. I can except that change.

[BlueMoose]

“No one involved in ministry gets rich from it.”

[reaganaut]

I said no one GOES INTO ministry to get rich.

[reaganaut]

Ok, I will make an amendment since we were specifically discussing the ‘antis’ that you said were the ‘moneymakers’.

“No one involved in anti Mormon ministry gets rich from it.”

You took a specific statement and made it general.

Although actually dialoguing with you for once instead of your usual non-sequiturs is nice.

[ejonesie22]

You forget you are dealing with professional word parsers and hair splitters here...

Except when it applies to them of course.

But everyone knows what you meant.

[reaganaut]

Yeah, when they don’t have anything else on their side, they have to go to that.

[BlueMoose]

yes we have been dealing with professional word parsers for years. But I'm retired now. so i can just laff them off.

[BlueMoose]

Some in the group are in on what the the is implyed but maybe they could share with the rest of us.

[reaganaut]

Follow the convo, BM.

[BlueMoose]

Ok

[BlueMoose]

And i now know that it has been clarified.
