Yes, I do. I personally thought the majority was wrong to cover up the transaction from the churches, even if they were right to kill the resolution. Since they wanted it buried in oblivion I guess I'll honor that for now -- until I get old and write my memoirs!Haruo wrote:Do you recall the topic?

Fascinating profile of MOore before the June 13 and 14 frenzy.
What is missing in these Moore profiles is honest look at the racist cabal of Pressler, Helms, Bircher Albert Lee Smith, and Ed Mcateer without whom Moore would not have this platform from which to fall
To dismiss that on mere speculation about your alleged "racist cabal" of thirty years ago, and your resentment of Moore's position is missing the point. Moore gets it right, and so far, seems to be consistently displaying the kind of courage it takes to continue to give more than mere lip service to Biblical principles and values long held by conservatives, but completely abandoned in their rush to support Trump. Southern Baptists have not been averse to using the livelihood of their employees to bend their opinion to their will, and to silence anything they don't want to hear. As far as I'm concerned, as long as Moore maintains his lack of support for Trump, his credibility soars
