Thank you, Tina!

There is waaaay too much pride flowing out there and I think the mentality that if we apologize to people that somehow our authority or reputation is being compromised, is all too alive and well.

Instead we/minstry are content to simply be satisfied with the perspective that, "I don't remember doing/saying that, you are wrong!"

This is exactly why people don't trust the people and the ministry anymore.

I agree with what you say here.


There are those people who apologize with a ....... "Well I'm so sorry that you would feel that way."


Cop out!

The report post tool is the great unused portion of the board.

I too have wondered how men, who are, Apostolic, Holy Ghost Filled, call by God to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a lost and dying world, could in good conscience be a regular participant on such a forum as this, that calls itself Apostolic.

I too have seen very many sexual innuendo’s joked about and discussed between those of the opposite sex. Just recently Brother William Price and I have been made the butt of just such crude sexual innuendos.

There’s been many crude and rude comments made concerning things that shouldn’t be joked about on an open forum where many, many come and read and never post. And we call ourselves Apostolic Holy Ghost Filled Christians?

It is a blatant lie that I made a crude sexual innuendo... this is why I did not and will not apologize. If you have a dirty mind and read into it something that was not intended, then that is not my problem.

Joking that someone got married and had kids is not a crude sexual innuendo...

Hmmm . . . there's a nice dust storm wall coming into the PHX valley from the South and it just started raining . . .

I love Monsoon season!

Although, this means I'll have to clean the pool of debris and junk before I can go swimming later on . . .

I have no problem saying this at all.

If I'm reading something impure in someones writing, where the writer does not mean it to be impure, maybe it's time for a check up from the neck up.

It is either that or you got someone touting that they wore a two piece bikini and another poster of the opposite sex requesting pics. Where is this going? I thought this was supposed to be an Apostolic Forum. And yes I won't be surprised when I get the questions regarding that statement.
There are better things I could be doing with my time and I plan to persue those.

I agree Sister!

When I first came over here a few weeks ago....I thought it might be a pretty good place to visit with some nice Holyghost filled people of God. Oh my what a shock I've had! Granted there are a few people on here that know how to treat others with respect and I've appreciated their posts.

In my opinion the title of this forum should be changed. I'd be ashamed for any of my friends who don't know the Lord to read some of the garbage posted here.

I put on my flak jacket every time I come over to visit. I like to read the good quality posting...but there's always a smart alec who tries to ruin each good thread started.
