    No I didn’t. You’re reading your thoughts into my posts and drawing erroneous conclusions, causing you to bear false witness against me. If I were your pastor I would take the appropriate steps, as prescribed in scripture, to discipline you. Everyone has the right to defend themselves from...

    You shouldn’t. I don’t agree. You’re welcome to search my posts for those conversations that I mentioned. I’m not going to discuss it in this thread.
