There's not enough information in the quoted piece for me to comment on really, an I cain't git the link to work either, but jes meetin wit someone doesn't really mean anythin to me. Infact, in order to teach the good news an sin an the like, one must meet wit someone, though from what I have understood bout Joel I'm not sure he would have met wit em an then talked to em bout the truth so I donno.
I found the story. I don't quite get it, Joel met with Jay Bakker, but not the families? Is he, Jay, gay? Is he there pastor? I don't have enough information to get the significance of this meeting.
