Open letter to AFF

[UnTraditional]

Momma A, you do not need to answer the critics with words, because your work should silence the hounds of the devil that come against you.

Yes Sister Alvear, please don't worry about this. Our prayers are with you.

Actually, I am graduating with a 72 hour Master's degree next year....YOU WERE (ah look...I can do caps in bold too) pitching a fit about credit card usuage...your foolish look continues...try as you might...but you can't change the fact that you attacked an innocent Godly woman for using credit...and now you're trying to insult my comprehension skills as a defense... Your ego and haughty spirit amuses me...be careful for it seems the only path you're on is one of tearing down Godly people...keep digging... the hole is going to get so deep that you can't get out

In the little time I've spent here, I've been verbally beaten to death. I pretty much expect it every time I post.

I'm glad to hear you admit that I DID NOT say that Sister Alvear was lying. The others should have a tiny ounce of integrity, call off their judgement dogs, and admit the same.

What did I mean specifically? Pretty much exactly what Mr. Charnock has said. I know this normally gets hushed but here's the flat-out truth. There are a LOT of people that just roll their eyes when Sis. Alvear starts one of her stories of great attacks of demonic forces, how awful they have it on the "mission field" and then chastises us luxurious Americans for not giving more to missions. I'm one of the eye-rollers, only this time, I chose to say something.

Look, stoves break. Goodness, even here in America they break. Why is it that here in America, they go bad, but if it's Sis. Alvear's stove, all the demons of hell have attacked her stove? I think it's a legitimate question, and furthermore, if she then proceeds to say she's going to use a credit card and thereby gain some sort of victory over the devil, I think I should have the right to say, "Hey, wait a minute. Really??"

You all can verbally bash me all you want, call me ugly names, say that you're fighting mad, whatever else you want to say. I'm still going to roll my eyes.

And then, for crying out loud, SHE'S GOING TO CALL HER LAWYER OVER WHAT I POSTED??????? Somebody's just a liiiiiiiiiittle too defensive there and it actually DOES make me start to wonder about the truthfulness of some of the happenings claimed. Sorry, it does. I HAVE NOT ACCUSED HER OF LYING!!! But her reaction? Sorry, there isn't a reasonable person who looks at this objectively who wouldn't raise an eyebrow at her reaction.

I say, "Someone needs to call her on some of these stories" and SHE'S GOING TO CALL HER LAWYER???? Does anyone see a problem with that besides me??

Why should anyone care to ask? Based on your logic it's okay just to "pop in" occaisionally and bash innocent Women with false accusations of making up stories. If you feel the pressure of those who are "known" and post here "regularly" because you are being ignorant....then oh well go cry on another forum.

Or...feel welcome to stay, make conversation, and drop the attacks...

and last but certainly not least, the fact that Sister Alvear gets away with WAY too much on this forum. No one ever calls her on her stories and someone needs to.

Very clearly

So let me ask you, what did she get away with? What are you accusing her of?

Are you saying her stories are lies? What's next? Maybe we should call everyone on their stories and suggest they are lying?

Thank you for repeatedly posting what i said in red, as if I'm supposed to be embarrassed by it. Do me a favor and start a thread titled, "OldPathsII's Words" and type them in every color in the largest font and type size you can come up with. The more people that see it, the better. Thanks for playing.

What a disgrace to common decency. Even if a person were to think such terrible thoughts about a full time mssionary they should have the decency to keep it to themselves. My question to Old Paths II is did you not have a mother to raise you and teach you to be a decent person? You are incredibly crude, rude and do not display any of the fruit of the spirit that I can see. I don't know if my anger or pity for you is greater. What a miserable person you must be.

Such strong words. I may never recover.

How about this?

The saddest thing about all this mess is, the rush to pound me after merely expressing an apprehension about a claim that the devil was somehow defeated because a stove might be purchased with a credit card. THAT'S IT!! And for simply expressing a disagreement with that, which is what happens on any forum where there should be an exchanges of ideas and ideals, I get shalacked by a boatload of verbal stone-throwing imbeciles.

I couldn't have made it more clear. I admire the Alvears and support their ministry and have nothing but respect for what they do. I'm one of the few here who live by the same outward traditional apostolic codes they do.

I disagreed with a statement, Sis. Alvear threatens to call her lawyers on me, petitions Admin to reveal my name, which is clearly against the rules, and I get verbally destroyed, minimalized, threatened, marginalized, made fun of, condemned, name-called, laughed at, and the list goes on.

You all should be ashamed of yourselves, but of course, you never could be. Enjoy your fantasy world.

On the insult richter scale, this one barely shows up. Try again. I have faith in you. You can do better than that.
