Friends that are helping me greatly right now!
I say that this forum is exactly what you make it. We're all adults (or at least I hope). We all understand we're not going to agree...We all understand that we're not going to like everything someone types...We all SHOULD understand that everything should be done in love and with respect. I don't even think about calling someone else's doctrine into question on this forum. Point being I can only see what you type...not how you live. So, with that being said, yes, I think this forum is Apostolic. Whatever that means...
I just want to add that this board has been a blessing to me over the last 6 months. It has been a place of refuge. I don't come here for doctrinal understanding...I know what I believe and why and I'm firm on it. I don't come here to bash any organizations...I've got better things to do. I came to this board for friendship, understanding and a place to communicate with those of like faith. Allow me to say thank you Admin for providing a great forum that I can participate in!

There you have it, once again, folks! This forum is what you make it! It is self-moderated, which means YOU, the AFF member have more control than you realize. You have more control than Admin, because Admin rarely, if you look a the shear number of posts, gets involved. Admin is happy to let you "duke it out" as long as it is within the bounds of decency and respect. That is all we ask for is decency and respect for your fellow poster, especially the ones you vehemently disagree with!
Don't make things personal and don't take things personal. This is JUST a forum. It is like a cork board where you put postings and others can respond. It is NOT real life so, once again, don't take it so seriously. Have some fun, learn something, sharpen your sword, make some friends, love your "enemies" but by all means, remember that this forum's "flavor" is made up of the posters, not the lurkers. So if you want to make a difference, post as well as lurk.
After being both on NFCF and here, I can tell you that the treatment of posters is BETTER than it once was. Tussles break out once in a while, but the "shredding" of posters does not happen like it used to.
ENJOY!!!
