People have a right to their privacy. Gossip is the idle chatter of someone's personal lives.
What is going on here is the addressing of public officials and their public words and the direction of a public organization
I agree. Most of what is discussed here is public people and public issues. IF it was to ever become attacks on peoples private lives or families, I'm sure the Admin's on this board would deal with it quickly.
When a preacher like PM or Scott Phllips, or just an individual like me, decide to give their opinions in a public forum either in a meeting or on a forum like this, there will be public discussion both pro and con.
As long as people aren't attacking others or telling vicious lies about them, why would I care if someone is anonymous unless I have an agenda against that person?

Again, I am against "anonymous" users making accusations they would not make if thier identities were known.
It is the abuse I am against.
Ron,
Here is my advice. What you are against will not be changing here. We are allowing people to use whatever name they want. There are many, many reason why they do so.
If you are THIS uncomfortable with that, then maybe you need to re-evaluate posting here. I'm not telling you to go, but you are not going to change how we do things around here.
There are things I would like to say sometimes, but as Renda I will not say them - - there's a certain standard that is expected of me and I withhold that standard. It's my choice.
Others have the choice to sign on as whoever and say what they feel on their mind or heart and because of where they are in life (unknown to us) they are not free to say it as themselves, so, they are allowed to do that.
I could say you are being a big whiney baby as Renda or sign on as BlueEyes and say it - - does that really make it for valid or invalid? God knows me either way and I have to be accountable to him. If I accused you of that as BlueEyes and that's not a real name does that keep you from discussing with me and telling me I'm way off base?
Silly, I can see why you are still single!
You need to grow up Prax.
It doesn't excuse the acusation--it provides accountability!
And it's ok for Ron to make personal attacks like this but God forbid someone else do it. It's ok for Ron, because he uses his real name...or so that is the reason he has given us so far.
Ron I am surprised you ARE married or STILL married considering how juvanile you behave at times and how compulsively annoying you can be like a little boy whining for more candy.
Does that bother you because I did it anonymously?

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

Weeelll, if you want to know why AFF is getting a reputation around the web.
There it is, you can post whatever & whether founded or not as long as it agrees with Admin.
