I think you nailed it with this statement, "In reality the NFL is at fault for providing a safety net for a quarterback when such a play occurs."
It seems that over the years, the quarterback has become the "sacred cow," and cannot be touched. My opinion is that if they have made it to this level of play, they should be able to take the hits. If he had not blown the whistle and Cutler had been hit or injured, he would have been crucified for that.
Pretty soon the rules are going to get even more sissified for the QB, that they will be wearing flags and you have to grab the flag instead of tackling.

i guess it goes to show that you can't believe everything you read in the preseason news... "thunder and lightning,"...what a joke...it was more like "thud and lightning bug." clemson's problem was they believed their own hype and got their butts spanked by a team that came to play football.
GO SEC!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some here can't handle the fact that pastors are just being real. People want their pastors to be be "real", and when they are, they complain. Some of you are so holy on here that you can't even take a shower because when you step in, the water parts.
My guess is, that those that complain use language that is just as bad, but for some reason you think a minister can't say "flippin" or who*e......grow up.
And if you quite listening to Ron Carpenter because he said who*e, then you are too judgemental to get anything out of what he says anyway.

on a side note.....to those churches that are actually going out and making this a priority and being a part of the community, you are the ones that truly making a difference in these communities. People in these area's can see genuine care and concern when you put their time above you own.
Kepp up the good work.

In my opinion, there is a HUGE difference in just writing a check and actually going out and getting your hands dirty. Do you guys have any kind of kind of outreach ministries in which you physically go into low income area's and do things like this?
New Spring people brag about all they give, but no one seems to see you guys out in the community doing "hands on" ministry.
There is more to ministry than just cutting a check and moving on...anybody can do that. Sometimes people want to know that you care enough to come where they live. Money is not always the best tool for ministry. It would be a shame to have a church as large as you have and not have someone there with a true passion of evangelism and not be able to capitalize on your resources. Imagine the "block parties" you guys could put on.

what newspring is doing in g,ville is nothing new. there are 100's of pastors across this country doing the same thing. some are larger and some are smaller than newspring.
when you have people driving a great distance, to come to church, why not plant a church where they live? (most churches here know's absolutely nothing about that) all of these pastors that do that have a campus pastor in each location that handles the day to day activities of the church and preach sundays via satalite.(most churches here would not understand that either..they're still stuck in the 60's..)
no i am not a attender of newspring. i have visited a couple of times and although i enjoy the sermons, there seems to be a disconnection between those in the seats and those on stage. everything is too rehersed with no freedom to step outside of what is on script.(typical baptist format..if its on paper you do it kinda thing.)
love the music and the band. no spontaneous worship. the hallaujah's, amen, "worship Hims" seem to all be scripted. more robotic than human. i have visited the different service times to see if anything was different...same ole same ole.

a side note: businesses that are downtown must also be willing to stay open past 5pm in order to draw people in. it is frustrating to go downtown and the only thing open are the resturants. that is one of the reasons we spend the extra gas to go to g'ville. we know there will be other venues of business to shop in.if we want to see the downtown grow, it must realize not everyone can shop before 5.
On Anderson will have more on the menu: Plans call for opening of bars and restaurants

i think it is great. i do however believe we need to try an get an "anchor" store somewhere in the downtown to draw people into the area. i just don't see how the resturant business can draw the types of crowds that a strong retail business could. i realize anderson may never have the downtown that g'ville has just because of area space.
my wife and i went to downtown g'ville last night and had a great time. just because of the more "options" that are available there.
one of my favorite stores downtown g'ville is the mast general store. it would be great if we could get something like that in our downtown to attract people.

Probably not to a good ole southern baptist. But to the real world this is a great accomplishment. I would think it would be the equivalence of top models trying to be in the SI swimsuit issue.
And your impression of the girls are pretty narrow and judgmental(must be that southern baptist things again). You should go in an talk to them and just find out who they really are. Some are pursuing pretty hefty degrees from local colleges.
