Re: The REAL Reason CONS have left or rarely post

If you are so easily swayed that an internet forum can change everything that you believe....you never believed it in the first place.

I don't agree with many of the "standards" but the fundamental oneness doctrine is a foundation that I am unwaivering about. No message board, internet forum, or person can change that.

I don't know about that. we joke about it but there have been
friendships and bonds formed here to the point where people have
traveled across several states to visit. Even relationships have formed


I've heard people say that the forum has had a big influence in
their lives. some people talk to people here more then their own
family simply because of their jobs or perhaps they are alone.

there are some serious soul searching discusions here that have
been impacting. It's easy for us to shrug that off but it's true.

I can see how this can take place in several instances

I know of very, very few preachers that have never heard of it, or don't lurk.

I get asked about my posts all of the time.

Ministers from those other forums know every single topic of discussion here.

My friends, as I tell Daniel often, This is El Dorado.
I agree with this- many times when topics are discussed on this forum, I will hear them referred to in some form over the pulpit- by different preachers.

Mark I haven't read the whole thread, but I think there's a fair amount of truth in the initial post.

Not so much on this forum, but on FCF and NFCF the discussions made me think more and I became even more grounded in some beliefs and changed on others.

Now that's not to say the topics here aren't engaging, but it's that I just participated a lot more on the former forums.

I agree

you see folks, another confirmation

I think the internet IS changing the way people think- scary


Just think, Part of the reason OBAMA Rose up in popularity so quickly
even over Hillary who basically had it sewed up is the internet.

Yeah but is AFF scary to you too? Are you afraid for yourself or just others about beliefs being changed?
