And personally, I would strongly advise any saint that I pastor never to come here.
Too much deception and false doctrine, as well as bitterness and rebellion, gets promoted.
I enjoy reading and posting, but it is not something I would advise anyone who is not very, very strong in their faith to do.

Amos, EC is not "almost excusively" teenagers.
How do you think it landed on all of the forums today? Did teenagers post it here?

By the way, I think it was posted on myspace, not EC. myspace is definitely not a place I would recommend to anyone, especially teenagers.

Yes, lets protect the stupid saints from all lofty, ministerial business. Our small sheep-like brains can't handle the pressure. *lots of eye-rolling here*
This an issue that EVERYone is aware of. Furthermore, there was nothing in MM's blog that disrespected ministers that disagree with him. At least, I didn't perceive it.
And as for what teenagers read...PARENTS are the ones responsible for what children/teenagers are accessing online. I can guarantee you that my children won't have any forum/EC/myspace memberships until they are adults. Any parent who doesn't want someone like MM influencing what their child thinks shouldn't allow them to read his blog.
P.S. I belong to EC, along with a LOT of my friends, and we're in our late 20's, early 30's. No teenagers here. Most of the folks I know on EC are adults. Not teenagers.

I stand corrected.
I have not visited either site, so Ii will take your word for it.
I may have been getting the two confused.

I haven't checked his myspace page, but it is posted in the blog section of his EC page.

It was posted on Myspace, I saw it myself today. I agree that teenagers do not belong on that website, I refuse to let my boys have a Myspace account.

I would surmise a very very small minority do not consume some TV already, so in that regard the entire issue is nonsensical.

I had myspace confused with EC.
I am not familiar with either.
And Sister, it has nothing to do with thinking saints are stupid.
But by and large, I personally prefer to keep organizational strife to myself. I don't preach it or talk about it with the saints.
