Re: The REAL Reason CONS have left or rarely post

Pastor Poster has posted on this many times and it is true. Dan A and a few others have an agenda. There's no doubt in my mind from stuff I've read here and on SynaD but AFF does not have that agenda.

Okay, now that I've read your post I have lots to say, but it's lunch time for me.

There's more knowlege, good and bad. incidents of porn and
child abuse is up, perhaps failed marriages. I'm certainly
not blaming AFF for that just making a point that the internet
is a mix of good and bad
One thing's for sure, the internet has certainly helped the rumor mill and the gossip train!

I've seen more newsflashes on the internet than ever before!

Re: The REAL Reason CONS have left or rarely post

The only thing that would cause me to sway from my beliefs, which, by the way, are the same now as they were when I started posting here, is the ugliness and hatefulness that I see from a lot of the conservatives. And quite frankly, it is the same that I see a lot in real life. My walk with God is just that... my walk with God. If I was going to be influenced by people, the stuff that I have seen in my district would have driven me away a long time ago.

And, apparently, you aren't familiar with how the evidence works.

When you use phrases like "many cons are leaving" because they've seen "many people change their beliefs", you have to qualify those terms.

Otherwise, I'll just assume that you were talking to one disgruntled ex-AFFer, who said "many people are being swayed", and I give absolutely ZERO credence to that statement.

Now, if you can provide facts and figures, I'll happily listen to your assertion.
DeltaGuitar would say that many people are being swayed, with himself included in that number.

Did forums sway you, Michael?

Re: The REAL Reason CONS have left or rarely post

I can believe this!

I do think a FEW posters have an agenda to change the mindset of traditional conservative Apostolics or liberal mindset.

I think that the vast majority just like to express our views on different subjects. Before these forums, I never had a place to openly express my opinion. I never had a place to question long held and guarded Apostolic beliefs.

Truth will withstand scrutiny. If it doesn't stand up, then it wasn't really truth!

mispell- I corrected it.

Mike, If you are trying to get me to lay all my evidence on the
table, forget it. If that's the only way you'll believe me, then you
can choose not to. but do you really think people left simply
because of one or two members ??? think about it

in difference to some folk around here, I will keep my mouth shut. But ive been on the internet with this group since FCF. It has certainly been disheartening to watch some folk "evolve"

Wow Mike, you are just so subtle in your insults.
sorry the truth makes you so angry - People like usually attack
the person who conveys the message rather then the real issue
at hand

that is so true, dizzy, you dont need another person giving you a hard time, about stuff they really dont understand, never been there, never been hurt , etc, you keep walking with god, he is always faithful, and loyal, that is so valuable to me, i think the cons left because they just want to conquer and control others, and we aint havin any of that, lol
