Lets look at the administration team and see who is who.
St Matthew - I am mod to con
Boom - con
Prax - mod
Renda - lib
Esther - mod to con
Jeanie - mod to lib (her husband is a Corinthian )
Lisa - mod
Man of Word - lib
Malvaro - con
Tina - mod
The Mrs - mod to lib
So given our staff here, we are pretty balanced in the admin area. I find no "imbalance". What you folks don't realize is that ALL actions are reviewed by all the Admin that are available, so we have a balanced viewpoint.
Matt this is a symptom really of what is happening all over America. It's sad that the liberals think we are slanted towards cons and the cons think we are slanted towards liberals. Maybe there is a spirit of "entitlement"....I don't know....
__________________ Let it be understood that Apostolic Friends Forum is an Apostolic Forum.
Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

There needs to be a spirit of tolerance of fellow-Christians!

We're 20 pages away from the initial post, so a play-by-play summary that has some people here on AFF concerned, with Ferd leading the charge, is as follows:
Key talking points:
1-
The bolded statement seems to suggest that he thinks some discussion is being censored or suppressed...considering he was an inside man, his words seem to carry further weight.
I addressed this, Firestarter. MOW felt that AFF's statement of Faith would stiffle freedom to post. It will only to those who tear down Apostolic doctrine as defined in the statement.
2-
A tension that he seems to think may be due to outside forces or pressure...
Again, MOW felt that the statement was some Affirmation Statement. It was NOT. I am NOT UPC, and I wrote it after having considered ALL of our posters beliefs. It does not even exclude trinitarians from posting, as Sola is still here. What it DOES do is give what the limits are as far as discussing whether Oneness or Jesus name baptism is error.
3-
This further suggests his view that there is some censorship going on that does not give room to arguably 'fair game' topics.
See my post above
4-
Confirmation for my comment on item #2 above.
I met Bro Epley last weekend and shared a few moments of fellowship with him. I will be looking to meet up with CC1 and Pianoman for lunch in the near future. Show me where the 2 cannot exist. We do it every day here. It is happening right now with me and you. This was only MOWs opinion
5-
Confirmation for my comment on item #1 above
What truth is stiffled. Is everyone upset that we didn't make a big announcement that MOW had left. I, along with the admin team, was hoping he would come back. Why announce it?
These are the key talking points of MOW's post and decision for stepping away.
His word burns in my heart like a fire...Fire Fall Down

That's your code name in the Admin forum ....J/K
J, you know you and Dan have reputations for stirring the pot. I think its is a term of endearment.

No, I don't want to duel with pistols at 20 paces.
Hmmm.....that's too bad.
I don't have a pistol, but I did bring home my granny's 20 gauge double barrel shotgun that I target practiced with last week and was a DEAD shot......
