What Difference Does it Make?? Is this Forum REALLY APOSTOLIC?????

Carpenter · #1 03-04-2007, 06:18 PM

I was speaking with a friend yesterday telling him about this forum, then I received a PM from another friend lamenting about what this community has become.

I am kind of frustrated at a couple of things.

There seems to be somewhat of a silent exodus from this forum of men and ladies that once carried the water in our other forums.

In PMs and such, there is a consistent line throughout their reasoning that "they have had enough of shallow talk, the piling on, unaccountibility, blasting people instead of issues, etc. In addition, this person told me that he/she feels the deeper thinking posts/threads are ignored. Some have said this forum is getting worse than NFCF or FCF on their worst of days.

I am not sure I agree, but that is the point nevertheless.

We are quick to say "So Long" to these people and it is sad. On the other hand the forum is only as good and has as much quality as people are willing to offer.

I have one question...in the mission statement of this forum it implies that folks here are Apostolic. Given some of what I have seen and read...I am seriously questioning if this is indeed true.

I think this board is made up of mostly Apostolic believers. However, I think there are a few newer members that think way outside the box.

You can't judge a book by its cover.

Wasn't going to take long before we had one of THESE threads.

Guess we need to define Apostolic.

For the most part the shallowness started with NFCF. It was really bad the last 6 months. There is a lack of thought and depth here but that is where most are at.

I've started posting on another forum more to my liking.

Maybe I'm missing something. Is this suppose to be a completely serious, indepth forum?
