Keely, <br><br>I'd love to get a chance to talk w/you some time, maybe via email, but right now isn't a great time. I'm taking 4 classes right now, have finals this week, work 3/4 time, play rugby, and have a wife and kids to spend time with. My wife absolutely hates it when I waste time blogging or arguing on V2020, so I don't do it very often.
<br><br>As for the elders getting back to you - I think you would have to get in touch with them first for them to get back to you. I don't think comments on V2020 count. For me, I check V2020 maybe once a week and I'm positive most of our elders don't have nearly as much free time as I do. But, feel free to contact our church office -
208.882.2034 if you'd like to ask my pastor to react to me and my brother's blog. <br><br>I will say that my church would never discipline me for my views on gender-roles unless it was leading me into some grievous sin. I'm not sure how the churches you've been involved with work, but Christ Chruch doesn't monitor our every action and conversation like J Ford.
<br><br>Also, just so you know, Weston doesn't live in Moscow or go to Christ Church, never has. He and his family are down in Austin - so, you'd have to contact his Pastor at Redeemer Presbyterian there (but I get the feeling that they don't have any Thought Police there either, sorry).
<br><br>Thanks for reading the blog. Feel free to leave comments, maybe we can hash it out there. <br><br>Cheers,<br>Larson<br><div><span class="gmail_quote"><br>On 9/30/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">J Ford</b> <<a href="mailto:privatejf32@hotmail.com">

<br>>Reformed men of character suffers, it won't be because of anything I've<br>>ever said or written. Their own guys evidently have represented them quite<br>>well.<br>><br>>Which means I can get back to my study of the gold standard . . . once I
