“All of whom think they’re God’s disciples to the narrow gauge”. Carl, are you serious? I have been going to work sessions since 2001 and I don’t know anyone at work sessions that thinks that way. We are all learning and sometimes get things wrong like when Chris painted Gramps in white lettering instead of silver paint. When we shared photos of it here we got jumped on from many sources saying it should be SILVER. Chris later spent an entire day painting a Gramps logo in silver just to get it correct, and that is not an isolated incident by any means. Your statement that ALL of us are Gods gift doesn’t ring true unless you are prepared to show proof of your accusations.
