LOL. Lance, I know that I sometimes have trouble communicating, but this one truly is not my fault. My questions are very plain and the purpose truly is to understand his experience with public preaching on campus. How you interpret my post to be me saying that "I believe that I'm the best I've sever seen" is truly ridiculous. John said, "I will be glad to share." Why can't you have the same loving attitude? Besides, I have always said that I am not even among the top of public preachers. I'm among the very least. I don't even do it every weekend. Now Kevin, he is another story. I met many preachers who pointed to him as their mentor in street preaching long before I had ever met him. He spends a lot more of his own money to travel to events and preach God's Word. I'm not even close to being in his league.

IMO Well, Lance, if you see pomposity in my humble questions about John's campus preaching experience, then the problem is you, not me. Please read my post again. You have to try real hard to find anything pompous there. Furthermore, I believe that we are all adults on an equal footing here. There is no need for anyone to be singled out as THE TEACHER and everyone else as silent underage pupils sitting in the back of the class. I prefer for us to speak to one another. That's what a discussion list is all about. This forum is more like a workshop of peers rather than a classroom of children with some older adult actively teaching the rest of us who are passively receiving. Bill and John have certainly distinguished themselves to be above me in many areas, but that does not mean that I need to be silent. I try hard to see us as peers with different backgrounds. Please don't try to force them into a position of preeminence above me. Surely humble Bill would not be comfortable being thrust into such a position. Peace be with you.
