A forum is a forum. We can like it or leave. The owners thereof are free to make it whatever they want.
They are kinda like clubs. If you don't like the pope, don't join the Knights of Columbus... if you do, and you go there telling them you don't like the pope, don't grip when they toss you on your ear.
Don't join the local rod and gun club if you don't like fishing and hunting and blah and blah and blah.
If a forum is known to be a forum where ministers of common beliefs go to slap each other on the back and amen each other, and that is really fine if that is what the members want, why go there to upturn their applecart? And then, when they toss you for doing something you knew would dump out their apples, why come here and gripe about it?
I have never joined AMF. I don't think it's a bad place, in fact, I think I would find more commonality of belief there than I do here.
But I like it here, and if I get banned, I ain't going somewhere else to complain.
wow.
you sound pretty healthy
......for an online addict
Maybe you should start a forum ....oh wait a minute...you already have 2 dozen or so!

ROFL!, I am down to one... and I don't even post there. Haven't banned anyone who wasn't a spammer in over a year...
This is it?
Funny thing is that I am also on a couple of other boards and they both are dedicated to tropical fish hobbyists. lol
And while there can be small disagreements I have yet to see a full fledged argument on either. Granted, we're not dealing with heaven or hell issues......

I still run GNC, or rather it runs itself. This is really the only place I an very active.
I do not believe that those who teach tithing teach about the "blessings associated with giving" at all. I believe and do take the small amount of time to correct me that those who teach tithing teach tithing attach tithing to salvation and not blessings as you imply here. True or untrue?

No.
However, your post said this, "I do believe those teaching tithing are teaching false doctrine."
Since the great majority of men on AMF teach tithing as a Biblical principle that still exists today, what conculsion should one draw?
If you believe preachers who teach tithing in the New Testament church are teaching false doctrine, then you are calling them errant preachers. You can not make one claim while not attaching the other.
Now, if you want to assert that they are only wrong in this one point, and that overall they are correct, then you can say so. However, that wasn't the impression anyone received by your post on AMF.
Then again, we all know how faulty this form of communication can be. However, many took from your posts on AMF an indictment against those pastors who preach tithing and the blessings associated with it.
He has been all over the net the past two years! Or haven't you seen this? LOL
that crazy music vid ought to be a case study in some graduate level psych course.
It just always makes me smile and a bit happy.
Each time you find another hidden little quirky artistic expression from the private world of a couch potato computer geek's mind.
I am very fascinated by the popularity of the thing resulting in a rolling advertisement banner at the bottom "AMERICA One nation For Sale".
-----somebody please put this in time capsule as capturing the end of the US Holy Dollar lethargic empire!
