This, is a man with an attitude. How dare you assert that people are
arguing on behalf of an organization.

Its easy to throw challenges around Tom, and to make sweeping
statements invoking images of great and noble conflicts.... Lets stay
with the scripture as you have 

And you work out your fellowship problems locally.. You may find
someone to help your cause, and charge their own fellowship with a
misplaced word or lack of understanding since I feel thats what you
are fishing for, but in the end, its a dog fight. 

Why not let the rule of bitterness come to an end ? You can't take a
hammer to situations and extract a conclusion.
