It's just not as fun as if use to be because people are on edge all the time.

I think we do well, for the most part, but the longer you keep discussing issues and when you are passionate on your views it's going to erupt from time to time.

Yeah, I can agree with that. I wasn't going to name any names, but I started this poll because St. Mark said AFF was an ex-pentecostal forum. I wanted to show him he was way off base in his assessment. I didn't plan on the discussion taking the direction it has, or I probably would have just let his comment slide. With that said, I have enjoyed the fact that some people who haven't been posting in a good long while have joined in on this thread. Maybe they will continue to do so on other threads.

Hahahaha, you heard it here!
Careful, you'll be accused of being cranky.

Re: Forum is Ex-Pentecostal??
My apologies to Daniel A for coming across so strong when expressing the way I feel.
I'll try to be more subtle in the future. 
Daniel I think you are an intelligent guy. It's just some times I want to slap you.

I agree. If anything needs to be fixed, then let's fix what we have, rather than trying to create something else that will turn out to be worse than what we currently have. Looking back, I wish we were still FCF, because all we can do is refer to our perception of what Jim Yohe's vision was. We can't go back to threads he started, quote things he said, or use his words as a sort of foundation for us to return to when we get off course because his words have been erased. I am not exalting him above measure, but I do believe he could have gone down in history as the father of open honest discussion among apostolics on the internet. The way things are now, all he is is a memory.

Re: Forum is Ex-Pentecostal??
Rico,
Another reason some aren't commenting or reading this thread is because just as some are offended when traditions of UPC are talked about (or put down in their eyes), others are very offended to be called ex-Pentecostal.
I was third generation Pentecostal from both sides of my family and just because I don't adhere to some of the traditions of UPC does NOT mean I'm not Pentecostal anymore. It does get old.
St. Mark can complain all he wants to about some of us "letting go of the traditions", but I believe deep in his heart he really does understand. He just likes to rile things up!
