You know . . .
I can't seem to find where either Falwell or The 700 Club have a 501(c)(3) status. Further noting that Pat Robinson surrendered his credentials in 1987, prior to his failed run for the White House, I'd venture to guess HE understands the concept of seperation of church and state.

I want to thank you for pointing out the some of the information in my Zebrahost account was 4 years out of date. That account was established, and paid for by me, when I was the pastor of the church in Sarasota. It was paid for on my personal credit card, and never by the church. I had established that account in 2000 as to be able to make a site for the church.
When my wife died in September of 2004, I decided to leave the church. When I did, the church got their own account with hosting to maintain their website, and I kept the one that I had established. I changed the ownership information, but realize now some of the contact information deeper into the account had not been updated.
The account has been paid for by me and billed to my personal credit card for the past 4 years since leaving the church. While my hosting account is up-to-date, some of the information on the domain registration account was not. Some of the accounts were correct; others defaulted to the old information when the new names were registered and established.
I had Zebrahost up-date the default information on all domains to the information I had given them as owner when I left the church.
The account owner has always been in my name, though when at the church, I had used them as the organization, as we only had three church related sites.
what the hell are you talking about???
NICK this is messed UP!
VOR don't go to no church.
he is a sinner!
get this fixed
<_<
Thank you “mr-hankry-the-d” for reminding me, and all others, that we are sinners. Even as Saint Paul said, “All have sinned, and fallen short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23)
The point I was raising is simple. A statement was made that a church in Florida, of which I am the former pastor, was somehow involved with a local website here in Anderson, SC.
I admit to the error in when up-dating the domain registration account in February of 2005, I apparently did not up-date all the sections. I had updated the owner information, and billing/credit card information, as well as the email contact, but I failed to update the administrative and technical section of the account. I never had notice that error until it was pointed out in this forum.
This omission on my part would give the appearance that my old church still owned the account, though that is not the case. I wrongly assumed that changing the ownership section would up-date all sections. I know now that that was not the case. My mistake, my fault, and I completely own up to that.
Last time I even visited my old church was back in 2006, when visiting my daughter and granddaughter who still live in Florida.
My only other question is this: How do you seemingly know my church status? I don’t personally know you, and I doubt that you know me. If you think you do, then send me a personal email and up-date me on when we became acquainted.
Not that you may care, but I was in active ministry for 10 years when my first wife died following a 2 year battle with breast cancer. Her loss was devastating to me. Broken-hearted, I left the church to re-build my life, and returned to my former profession in engineering. I came to Anderson, as I have family roots in this community that go back for generations. I also re-married.
About a year and a half later, at the urging of my denomination, I agreed to be the associate pastor of a church whose pastor was not in good health. I went to be their substitute pastor while their pastor took the time to address his health issues.
At the end of that year, and with the pastors health vastly improved, we decided to return to this area so to have my wife close to my wife’s family.
During this recent time, I have been the fill-in pastor for a small mission church in Georgia. Recently they were able to find a semi-retired minister who lives in their community and can serve them full-time. For the moment we are trying to assess where we should be, in terms of ministry. When that happens, I’ll cease to post on forums like this. However, during this interim period, I too should be allowed to express my personal views, as an individual citizen.

If you're going to post my picture, the sunglasses must be on. Inherently cooler.
As I stated, my mistake, my error...enough said.
Once again, I sincerely thank you for pointing out a problem I did not know that I had. As stated, I had changed the ownership and billing information in 2005, but did not properly up-date all the administrative or technical contact information. My mistake was thinking that changing the ownership of the account changed all the other settings.
To make matters worse, the control panel was set to always load default information whenever a new domain name was registered, regardless of what I put into the blanks.
Because of your curiosity, you were able to spot something I had never noticed. I have since up-dated the remainder of the Account information, and have disabled the information auto insertion feature. I have also corrected all accounts to the proper owner.

It's a shame Mr. Brown did not wish to be on the show. It could have been quite interesting to hear why he chose to run against Waldrep and say how incompetent Mr. Waldrep was, then change totally and support him against Mr. McKay. Revisionist thinking, mad at losing, or sour grapes?? Or a real reason that should be shared? No one will have the opportunity to hear.
One of the confusing items in this debate is the difference between registering a party affiliation, and actually joining a political party. It is pretty universal that in most states, any eligible voter can register with any political party they desire or none at all. In most cases, registration with a party allows that person to vote in that party’s primary. Registration, in and of itself, is not a pledge of any kind to who, or how you will vote, or even what party. Changing a party registration is a fairly simple thing, and would have needed to be done in order to vote in the Democrat Presidential Primary.
Switching back later would be easy to do as well, as Mr. MacKay would have to have done to even vote for himself on June 10th.
However, joining a party is a different thing. In many States, both major parties have oaths that pledge that as a party member, you will only vote for candidates of that party. People that join the party often pay dues, and attend party meetings. If they stop attending meetings, or paying dues, they are generally dropped from the membership roll.
The oath in South Carolina is not quite as stringent as some of the other States, but still says: “Finally, I believe that the Republican Party is the best vehicle for translating these ideals into positive and successful principles of government.”
To be honest, I don’t know if Mr. MacKay is simply now a registered Republican, or an active member of the party. Frankly now, it really does not matter.
I’m sure the annoyance is mostly to the members of the party that pay dues, go to meetings, and participate actively in the functions of the party, and I can truly understand that. The same would be true for a person running as a Democrat, which in the recent past, voted for a different party. They too would have every right to be upset.
Just prior to the SC Presidential primary, the democrats had a loyalty oath required for those that desired to register democrat. Voters going to the polls that day were supposed to sign an oath that read: "I consider myself to be a Democrat."
Regardless of my thoughts toward Mr. MacKay, and what he can, or cannot do for the county, I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt, and assume he is somewhat independent of any particular party, and just felt the need to file with the current status quo majority party.
Those that are party members can decide for themselves at the polls on the 24th.
Let's run with your thought "assume he is somewhat independent of any particular party, and just felt the need to file with the current status quo majority party."
If he's an independent, then run as one. I'm tired of people filing as Republicans just so they can get elected!
No your a name taker.
you are not VOR
you are some other guy.
This really is one of those threads that should just have a bullet put in it...
