  What I have observed is that what is said from the Pulpit among message crowds is vastly different from what they say to others in public. I was just talking with Jenny today, and i said that when a pastor will not articulate what he really believes to an outsider, that is a sign that something is wrong. I remember being conflicted about this very thing a number of times while in the message. It also really bothers me to see the put-on and show of kindness and love, when you know what has been said behind the person's back. Joshua Keith spoke of this on a recent post regarding his former pastor and a Baptist friend of his. Jenny and I have experienced it first hand from our former pastor regarding us personally. Where is the integrity?

:''This man said, "I'm... We're drawing a little ring, and we're drawing you out of our circle."
A certain organization the other day, because that I let another minister set on the platform that didn't belong to their organization, he said, "We have drawed a line. We have drawed you out of it, Brother Branham, out of, out of our circle."


:''I said, "Then I'm going to draw a little ring, and draw you back in again." See? So I... That's it, bring you right back. I... You can't put me out, 'cause God put me in. See? So you can't--can't put me out, so that's the way we're going to do. See? Believe that.
I said, "'''I'm drawing another one, so big... take you back in again.'''" I said, "So you just can't push me out." That's right. "I'll draw a line right over the top of yours and take you right back." See?
You're a wonderful group of brothers. Bless be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love. The fellowship of kindred minds, is that--like to that above.<ref>FROM.THAT.TIME_  BLOOMINGTON.IL  61-0415B</ref>


He said, "You know what we are going to do?" Said, "We're drawing a little ring and drawing you right out of our circle."
That's for... '''We are brethren. "We are not divided; all one body are we."''' Right. We're Christians, borned of His Spirit, washed in His blood. We are Christians. We should act like Christians; we should behave ourselves like Christians, men and women. '''Let me tell you that that's one thing the church is lacking today, is behaving itself like Christians. We go around and act like dead flies.''' It's terrible. No faith--not enough, if it was ink, to dot an "I." We just strictly have lost something. What we ought to do is have our shoulders back.<ref>EXPECTATION_  TUCSON.AZ  SUNDAY_  61-0205M</ref>
Then I said, "I'm going to draw another one and draw you right back in again." So I said, "You can't draw me out, 'cause I love you. See, you just can't do it." I said, "There's too many of your brethren out there that love me and believe in me." I said, "You... I'll--I'll... They'll come anyhow." I said, "They'll come, and you can't draw me out. If you draw me out, I'll draw you back in." I said...?... "When you make one circle, God, by His grace, will let me draw another one and pull you right back in." That's right. Draw them right back again...

''This man said, "I'm... We're drawing a little ring, and we're drawing you out of our circle."


:''“If I belong to the Assemblies of God, I'd be Assemblies of God. If I belong to the Foursquare, I'd be Foursquare. See? But I'd always want to reach my arms out for each one (See?), get them all together. See? That--that's it, fellowship one with another. That way I've been misunderstood.”LIFE_ SALEM_OR 07-19-62 Breakfast
