The Amalgamation Statement

[RC_NewProtestants]

Sounds good, the Progressive forum is always ready for open dialog. I just thought the presentation was very helpful to show the statements of people in the 1800's on the idea expressed in the amalgamation statement.

I am not sure that I can do that right now - I have been feeling drained by all the debating. I'll have to see.

MVA--I'm sorry, I know how you feel. The atmosphere in this whole forum, is not good. As a matter of fact--it feels down right evil.

I didn't always have the attitude I do now--it's been cultivated by this and other chat forums. I guess the nastiness of others has worn off on me. I guess it's true.....

What you behold --you become!

I know what you mean. Like I said before I have been feeling drained lately and it is really hitting me now. I had even contemplated taking a break, but haven't down that as of yet.

I thought the historical persective would be useful for those over here because of something Honor said on the prog forum:

When it was brought to my attention a few years ago on Yahoo that some were saying that she meant that man and animals were procreating--I laughed till I cried. I thought to myself' "how could any idiot actually think that she was referring that"? It still amazes me.

We can understand things much better when we know the history of a period and what they were thinking at the time. For instance even the chief supporter of Darwin, Thomas Huxley thought certain races in Africa were crosses between man and ape.

RC,

I will give you my word that I will finish the whole presentation. I have the next two days off from work and will try and do it during that time.

MVA--I took a whole year break from this place. Back in 2005, there were some members in this area that made fellowshipping such a burden-that I couldn't come back.

I needed much support at the time, but they were so busy bashing the church and EGW, that they had no time to comfort those who were hurting.
