I Could Show You Pejorative

It may be useful to note the difference between a firm, clear illustration and pejorative calumny. Mainly, it's good to realize that when something is difficult to hear and/or accept, it is not necessarily a reflection of dubious intentions on the part of a speaker.

Someone you know may hold this position on campus "parachurch" groups:

College students do not need [INSERT NAME OF CAMPUS "NON-DENOMINATIONAL" GROUP HERE] as a "spiritual resource to students, providing information, training, relationships, opportunities and environments that are conducive to spiritual growth," because God has established the Church to accomplish those purposes.

Now that is a simple and true and objective sort of statement. However, in the context of a discussion, a person affirming that statement may want to cause his sentiments to be a bit more memorable and force some further contemplation, by adding:

The [NAME THAT GROUP AGAIN] sees itself as an "arm of the Church" but I see it as a hat on the Body. While it may accomplish some good objectives, it is not part of the Body and God has not called for it.

It is worth noting the proof that such a statement is not pejorative can be seen in the restraint exhibited. The speaker here would probably believe the hat illustration to be weak since a hat on the body doesn't do nearly as much harm as anti-church "Christian" groups do to the Church.
