Do we have to follow your outline, and read the text you are reading just to understand basic....oh nevermind. It's your thread. I found that to be...
Going back to the general thread where regular people can discuss topics that they....

Umm, didn't you already read the book?? LOL! So you have an understanding, right? So how could you take that so personally??
Also, you should know that it's not "my outline" nor is this "my thread." We all discussed and decided mutually on this book and this schedule (which I didn't even develop). All I did was copy/paste it into a new thread.
I feel a very mild sense of hostility or something. I don't like it. I'm used to having a lot of peace here. This is my hideaway from the rest of the church world and people I know, etc. I don't like tension, and I wasn't saying anything targeted to anyone. The fact is that none of us is articulate or studied enough to convey what Barna and Viola were saying in as effective a manner as they did. Therefore, we're raising ruckus about the book with people who haven't read it and therefore misunderstand it (understandably so). Discussing the subjects is one thing. Discussing the book is silly. IMO.
