Kevin's been doing a play by play on why the movie is dishonest. You, as usual, eschew substance in favor of your boring feud with Kevin.



Yes, from within his own subjective thought world, I see nothing in his "play by play" polemic that is in any remote sense analytical or carefully reasoned.

Oh, and I though it was his boring feud with me?

To each his own I suppose, but I'm sure this won't in any way prevent you from abandoning your boring feud with me over my boring feud with Kevin's boring feud with me.


I don't care who started the feud. It's boring.

If Kevin's analysis is wrong, refute it with facts.

Droopy. This forum is very efficient at treating your posts. Your posts flow in by the truckloads then it gets processed and spits out in a nice cup of treated mulch to plant flowers in.

Trying to argue through, around, and past a thoroughly fixated neurotic often is. I will admit that Kevin is fun to feud with because he's so wild and woolly. I'm afraid it can be a bit cathartic, like a real bad, low budget zombie flick with a lot of over-the-top gore, splatter, and guts.

You really don't have any answers to the substance of Kevin's posts, do you, Droop? You seem like someone who is (rightly) embarrassed by the fact that the church you try so hard to defend has produced a video so full of lies (of commission and omission), half-truths, misrepresentations, and propaganda. Your constant attempts to change the subject to personal attacks on Kevin show the weakness of your position. You (and the church) have no defense for the dishonesty so brazenly on display in this movie. If you did, I think we'd have seen it by now.

Well, you're speaking the obvious, but give poor droops some slack. It is really the only way he knows how to respond to facts. By attacking anyone who presents them. And of course, the whole purpose is to derail the thread and take focus off the uncomfortable facts.

Too bad they didn't show joeboy beating hell out of a minister and kicking him down the street.
How about him riding down the street in a carriage while smoking a cigar afte giving a talk about word of wisdom stuff?
