I was at one time a member of this forum. Bunch of people that don’t obey their pastors. They’d rather sit around pretending to be smart and asking questions than obeying. A godless sign of the end times. You have to be carnal to even visit that site.
Don’t go to hell. Don’t be lost for eternity. Obey your pastors and stay off those Apostolic Forums (so-called “Friends”).
Careful with those who demand obedience of themselves more than obedience of God.
Yeah, that post seemed to be troubling to me too. Did you notice the third response there? That seems balanced and informed.
Either you're being funny or they deleted someone's response....which is it? There are only 2 comments.

"awaiting 'moderation.'" Seems like a rather "moderate" post to me.
Wanna start a pool on how long your comment will be awaiting moderation? I'll be surprised if it gets approved. That site strikes me as one that only approves "amen corner" comments
I can fully understand the concern within traditional Oneness Pentecostalism. The sect has never tolerated free exchange of thoughts.
So much of the extra biblical trappings are justified with "pretzel logic" they do not encourage thinking outside their paradigm as it does not hold up.
Most who are fearful of AFF and like forums are good hearted well intentioned people I am sure. They simply see it as a pandora's box that once opened will cause their saints / relatives / loved ones ,etc to start looking at some of the traditions and start questioning them.
"What sites are your kids visiting today?" Muahaha
I had to laugh when I read the comment by Kevin! He must be a lurking AFFer.
I think it will still be "awaiting moderation" when I get back from church at around 9 p.m. CST...we shall see.
Yes, pel--very reasonable post. Obviously, reasonable isn't their modus operandi. In fact, reasonable is seen as quite unreasonable and intolerable. Sadly, that lowers the chances of that reasonable post being stamped with approval. Allowing a dissenting opinion, however slight, smacks of the very "discussion" from which they are Protecting the Children.

The Villlage People will only approve comments that are "amen" -- like any good news site, right?
What you can do to make a point, though, is parrot caricatured and exaggerated positions in the form of "amen" and that will be published. Do you think that's what comment #2 was?
