A Word of Caution to all AFF Posters

[Nahum]

Please be careful what you share on AFF.

Over the past year I have received numerous threats though pm's. I had been foolish enough to share my identity with several people, and it really came back to bite me. I have had my ministry, secular occupation, and character threatened if I do not stop posting against traditional positions of the org.

I spent three hours last evening tracking down the last threat, only to be crushed to find out the anonymous culprit was someone I had considered trustworthy. I had stepped away from this user name for the last month because of all this. A few days after resuming posting as Pastor Poster this began again.

I would also warn you licensed ministers to never speak your conscience on AFF if your beliefs differ in even an insignificant way from your organization. Your anonymity is NOT guaranteed in any way.

On a personal note, I wish to clarify a misconception that seems to be floating around. I am not anti-UPC. I do have issues with several nondoctrinal items but on the whole I love the organization. I enjoy discussing these issues as the discussion helps me grow in knowledge.

Anyone who knows me recognizes that I always have and will continue to support the basic tenants of our doctrine for as long as I am a part. So to those of you offended by my posts, I sincerely apologize. Please do not threaten me again as I take these sorts of threats very, very seriously.
