Rob Yes, I should have my own name. We are thinking of calling ourselves Prue&Co, or some such name, or even MildlyCurious again 'cos it was starting to stick. Rob, I don't have credibility 'cos I go against the grain of this board.

Actually, we will do that now... I just have to figure out where to change the profile, plus, how how to check up on my own posts because Gene (and many others) said he didn't get a question from me. I remember asking 'cos I asked him about his friend on the photograph.

No. You're not a martyr. You don't have credibility because you've been caught out playing games. To gain back credibility you need to be scrupulously consistent and clearly state whether it is Prue or <insert name here> posting.
I do not hold grudges, and I am quick to forgive. But this isn't about forgiveness. I'm more amused than anything. It's about honesty. Be honest and you will have few problems here.

I don't recall another question recently, but if you have any in mind, feel free to ask....

Hi All. We have a new name - courtesy of Rob Oxenbridge. He called us "Pruebert" and we had a good laugh. We like it! Its very clever. We don't want to break any topic into "he said, she said" unless it is necessary.
Regards to you all, from Prue and Bert.

Gene, sorry. we are new to this board. i don't know how to access all our postings. i was just curious to know why there were two people in your photograph as an aside to some question i asked you Prue, the two people in the photo on my postings are Baer, my life companion (on the left) and me (on the right). It would be like a photo of Prue and Bert on your postings.

Reply #36 Prue, what is your relationship to this partner? Because you didn't express this partner as husband or wife, I would expect this partner to be some other relationship. Please come clean on who this partner is.
My post originated as scripture relating to the act of Professing. It has degraded into it appears "the closet". I would ask that bleach be applied and come clean to the Profession.
Reply #41 It will be interesting if Prue will come clean. The question of "Professing" protocol simmering down to this level is really something to behold.
I still love hymn 103: "Buy the Gold undimmed, unchanging; buy the spotless rainment white; Rich and clothed with eyes anointed, Daily walk in God's pure light."
Prue, Prayers are being said on your behalf for repentance of sin and acceptance of God's gift of Salvation. Praise be to God for those who have accepted Christ and help spread the Gospel.
Reply #42 Roy - thanks, I answered this (your own thread) on the meaning of the word “professing”, and you judged me on the basis of what you think I might be in my so-called "closet." ? Clearly my answer wasn’t the answer you wanted to hear – you didn’t answer it, did you? I am sorry if I embarrassed you. Roy, are you a man or a woman? how can I know? are you married? have you had an affair? If so – who with? should I first find out? Have kids? Are they yours? Shouldn’t we all know? You were in my faith for 50 years and, like Rob, didn’t know something as simple as where our terminology comes from. You never searched these things for yourself? Never opened a concordance? Never encountered the words in a subject meeting? Never heard them in a fellowship meeting? Never listened to these things in missions and conventions? I could have replied to your question with a simple, “go read your bible” or asked why would you get an honest answer on this board? Maybe you spent those 50 years in the meeting busying yourself instead with other people’s business? That’s the real scandal, Roy.
Prue, You said: you judged me on the basis of what you think I might be in my so-called "closet.". The reason I made the post is from the information you provided relating to your Partner. Reference « Reply #27 on Today at 10:33am » yes. that is my partner. i can only type with 2 fingers
You started out showing you were female, then came the male side then comes the partner side. It seems like you backed yourself into a corner that you seemed to be unwilling to find an exit. Clearly my answer wasn’t the answer you wanted to hear – you didn’t answer it, did you? What makes you think your answer was not an acceptable answer? The answer you gave was about what I expected.
You asked some personal information: Roy, are you a man or a woman? how can I know? are you married? have you had an affair? If so – who with? should I first find out? Have kids? Are they yours? Shouldn’t we all know? I am 59 years old. I am a male. I spent 2 years in the US Army from 1966 to 1968. I am married to the same woman for 35 plus years. I have never had an affair with anyone other than my wife. I have 4 children: female 32 years old, male 30 years old, female 28 years old and male 26 years old. I am the father of our 4 children and my wife is the mother of our 4 children. I was B&R in the 2x2 as were both my parents. My grand parents on both sides professed in the 1920’s as did all my great grand parents. I have one brother who is an alder of a Sunday Morning Meeting. My father was elder of a Sunday Morning Meeting as were both my grand fathers.
I answered your questions. I now ask you to do the same. The direction this post went was totally unexpected and unwanted from my part. I followed it with interest. Seeing the heavy downgrade and answers coming from someone proclaiming the virtues of 2x2ism I didn’t expect this revelation. Too many things don’t add up for the slip of a finger idea.
What I would like Prue from you now is a similar BIO. I gave you mine, you owe it to me and the rest of the board.
Thanks

There actually is a precedence on the board regarding this issue of two people in a household sharing one moniker - Sojourner. Craig and Kathy each sign their names to their own posts. Very simple, no confusion. They didn't need to be asked to do it either.

Ahh the quiet calm voice of reason and bingo we have an answer to one of the problems raised, Thank you Zorro.
Good advice me-thinks Pruebert. At least then I'll be able to follow this table tennis match.

Ps. I'm not trying to "steal Zorro's thunder" so to speak, but the implication that this is a new idea coming from a calm voice of reason implies that earlier calls to do so were either ignored, missed, or initiated out of a voice that is other than calm or reasonable.

Prue; you answered me initially: We use the word "professing" because that is how Paul's word is translated in our bibles. Its used in Timothy in several places, ie "professed a good profession before many witnesses."
And when Paul was preaching he said "At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me..."
As for baptism protocol, it does say that many were baptized upon hearing. We tend towards asking people to give pause before taking that move. It is a serious matter to us.
I see no relevance to what Paul stated in reference to "Standing up in Meeting: show you want to join the group. Here's the scriptures in KJV relating to ";Profess, Professed, Profession" Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. 2Co 9:13 Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men; 1Ti 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Tit 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. Heb 3:1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; Heb 4:14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. Heb 10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
Where is the Act of Professing as in the way the workers ask "if anyone wants to accept Christ into their life" type act.

To Nathan9 Thanks. Hey! Who's leaving? p.s. weren't you Nathan7? Wot happened to Nathan8 and Nathan6? Are they dead? Family members? Are you in-cognito, pretending to be Nathan9 in case someone walks up to you in the street and says "Hey, I know you! You are really Nathan7!" Do I have to have a family resemblance to be called Nathan10? Bert

Nathan whoever - I can't click on my screen because I don't have any. I have just the five or six line screen to type in. If I don't register I can type something and then a new screen, complete with formatting icons appears.

Just above that is the "reply" and it all comes up correctly. nathan#, I can't imagine that this board doesn't have a password reset.. so you can request a password from the admin, it is automatically sent to your email, then you can reenter your profile and change the password to one you can remember.
