Uh, yeah.......sometimes you can't admit that it's time for a change, because you have to protect what you've always known and the way you've always lived..........and you'll lose some friends if you get out of the boat.......
This is the futility of this argument..........everyone thinks everyone else is talking about everyone else........

Re: Interesting Article from a Conservative Aposto
I just came from an anointed Holy Ghost prayer meeting and while I was praying at the end this thread and some of the comments came so strongly to my mind and I felt really anointed to pray on behalf of those who are attacked constantly by the critics. I just wish that people would keep their mouths and evil tongues off anointed men and women of God. And I don't care whether you're conservative, liberal or somewhere in between left and right.
Why on earth people think they have to be tearing up and tearing down those who are on the front lines of the spiritual battlefield and ministering to save the souls of saint and sinner alike I'll never understand.
Leave them alone! Pray for them if you think they're slipping or not where you think they should be but keep your tongues off anointed God called men and women. That would be the will of God!
Lord, still the mouths of the naysayers, the gossips and the gainsayers!

I believe the answer is "no." They were not banned. Let me explain however that the blogger only used parts of their posts in an attempt, it appears, to paint both the posters and CAF in a negative light. There were some admonitions by the Admin team to curb some of the comments and posts by other CAF members to counter some of what was said.
It has been said that some of the comments regarding Brother Graham were "rude." I'd have to agree, but, again, the blogger did their best to pick and chose portions of certain posts. I'm not sure that "banning" them would be the right answer and I think that they had a right to express their concerns regarding the genuineness (if that's a word) of SG's stand. I do not approve of the "character assasination" that occurred there (and, to an extent, it did occur); just as I do not approve of the character assasination of many good brethren that seems to occur here on a regular basis. These posts could be easily seen as "rude" as well.

Felicity, I think the main reason they are attacked is because they are on the front lines, doing the work of the Lord. It's always been that way. Like you, we just need to pray hard for them.
I heard Bro Graham preach that message at LA campmeeting. Very refreshing.
So good to see you posting. Hope all is well with you and yours!
