If it's obvious to you that your efforts are in vain here, why feel the need to sow discontent at every turn? The regulars here are trying to help PF move the church forward, beyond a "fossilized" and "imperial" understanding of doctrine and pastoral practice. THIS is the way forward for the church whether you like it or not. Your regressive views and resistance to change really smacks of an inner sickness, as if repeating the same thing over and over will produce a different result. It must be painful and I do feel for you, but I trust you will eventually adapt or find an alternate path to vent your frustrations.

Btw, I am hardly "old," perhaps you confuse my age with wisdom but thanks for the compliment.
