Oh, so WO is suddenly a "non-essential?" Your persistent opposition to it made it seem that you thought it was the biggest, baddest devilish deception of the decade.

If your church is doing as you say then it appears they are paying no attention to you because the "I'm right and you have to see things my way" attitude you've been displaying here is the Number One reason our youth have been leaving the church. On the other hand, maybe you are having an impact and there would be a lot more youth attending if you weren't so insistent that others agree with you.

If you don't want to be vigorously opposed, stop mistaking theological ant mounds for mountains that you feel you must defend. Then please find the ministry God wants you doing so you can be helping the church grow faster.
