The Church is damaging it's credibility every time we are caught passing on things that are not true. I think the Church is earning the reputation of being ignorant and foolish when we pass on emails with unconfirmed accusations that "call out" or "expose" people/organizations with which we don't agree . I'm not trying to arrogantly chew someone out. I have fallen prey to the boiling blood and a reactionary disposition too. Please take this as a friendly reminder and a resource for researching truth. Check out shocking and negative emails. Don't assume that any one of these sites are the single bearers of truth. Follow the Bible's admonition of confirming negative reports with "2 0r 3 witnesses". (1 Tim. 5:19; De. 17:6; 19:15-19; Mt. 18:16; Jn. 8:17; 2 Cor. 13:1; Heb. 10:28) www.snopes.com
