Exactly. "Indirectly" would be the correct term here (nm)

SuperTank

Why? Is it because these non-members never join the Church

HawkCat

No, I'm just looking for a reason to be upset about

SuperTank

You misunderstood my point

cougarfruit

I assume you meant this for someone else. (short)

JamesDean

Prove it

Cougrrrs Roll
