Penned what?  Do you mean the above?  That was bro. Starcher that wrote that.

  Really Brother Berger, my point is that Brother Starcher is again making his
assumptions.  This time he is speaking for "We" Apostolics.  I do not believe
the same as he does on the issues stated in his "declaration."  My question
above, "Why does Steve Starcher proclaim himself to be "moderate" placing  all
others left or right?", is an example of the "I'm normal" syndrome.  Bro.
Starcher places himself in the middle, thereby putting street addresses on
everyone else.  It reminds me of the story of the motorist that claimed
everyone driving slower than him is an idiot, and everyone driving faster than
him is a maniac.  Bro. Starcher seemingly has placed himself as the standard
in which all other Apostolics are to be measured. (note the word "seemingly") 
 
 Let me say here that I am not accusing Brother Starcher of consciously
putting himself in that position, but his latest post *seems* to do that.

 I am not sure if that is in reference to something I said, but if so, I wish
you would clarify it.  I just want to make it clear, that the smoke that is
coming out of Bro. Starcher's chimney is not mine. I have my own fireplace and
don't want Brother Starcher (or anyone else, intentionally or accidentally) to
assume otherwise.

 Your the moderator, it is your choice. (this is meant respectfully)
