Enough of me trying to acknowledge that I am the one who is probably mistaken. I do not know if you just LIE about what you obviously said, or you just mistakenly use the wrong words--if you did the latter, you are so self-righteous to even admit you made a mistake.

Dave responds:

Yes, I did use a poor choice of words when I said "you fellows". I was not directing my comment at Jeff. So I apologize to you Jaime for using a poor choice of words. I now see where you are coming from. That's the way I wrote it, but did not intend it to be directed at you only...but "fellows" meaning those who come against WOF people through their books and in discussions. So again Jaime, please forgive me for using a poor choice of words.

Dave:

I e-mailed Ron privately because he was not able to get a couple of e-mails through to this list and directed his e-mail to me personally. I apologized to him (I'm sure I did) if not Ron, you're getting it now. I understand where Ron is coming from as well. I'm not the sharpest guy in the world. But sometimes, wording comes across strong and I take it as such. I can take a lot of things. In a discussion where disagreements may arise, I don't like to ask for apologies because everyone has a right to disagree. However, it is my desire to see unity in the Body of Christ rather than division and name-calling. Yes, there are some groups that are clearly cultic in doctrine. But let's recognize our brethren, even though we may disagree...we are in covenant and part of the same Body of Christ.
