I know there's innuendo that gets batted around, but have you ever sat in a private preacher's fellowship, like after a camp or conference meeting. Just the "boys" sitting around and fellowshipping?
I've been there and believe me, that's where reputations and characters are not just assassinated; they're chewed up, spit out, stomped on and then rolled around in cornbread, deep fried and chewed up all over again. They've been doing that way before there was any Internet.
Frankly, I've seen more accountability here than in the living rooms of some men whose names you would know.
Pel,
I wanted to bump this back to maybe give it the light of a few more views.
It is probably the most succint depiction of the man-centric thing we call ministerial/clergy fellowship.
Many of these same folks believe the scriptures instruct their so-called 'sheep' to obey them who have the rule. Such overt carnal-mindedness in the midst of preceived "temple service" exemplifies the spirit of antichrist.

This is too funny! No harm but hey you know whats really odd??? We get those who write their waaaawaaa I am leaving now threads and at least they leave!!! Havent even really seen the attempt of this poster leaving. Not that I want them to or dont want them to... just think this is hysterical!
meBNme....are you going or staying? If you are staying, which seems to be fine with everyone here, then get over it and stop trying to change everyone. If you are going....let's not drag this out.
I'm not trying to change anyone, and I've given up on trying to convince anyone to consider changing their actions.
And if you would read you would realize that I pretty much have left as I am participating only in this thread. You would also realize why I am doing so, as I have stated, I feel it wrong/rude to start a thread, and expect folks to read it without giving them the respect of reading/responding to their comments/thoughts.
You would also find that I have stated that I have not yet made the decision whether to go or stay, but I will do so in this thread when I do decide.
Are you that impatient? And by telling me to "get over it and stop trying to change everyone" Are you not trying to change me? Should you get over that as well?
I'm guessing this line of questions doesnt go over to well with you either.
Some folks can hand it out, but don't want it comming back.

The difference is some folks just whine about something and leave. Often not giving folks the oportunity to counter their comments or answer questions.
Like I said, I think that's wrong, to voice pointed complaints and run, without giving the respect of considering responses.
What I have done was one: I did not say "I am leaving" I said I am considering leaving, and stated why.
I also said, and have done as I said, that I would be back to read the responses, and possible discuss things further with folks.
Pop a search and you will realize that I have left everything on AFF BUT this particular thread, as I said from the beginning.
I don't get some folks though.
You have a problem when people whine and run, and now you have a problem when I have stuck around to "Face the music" of my pointed complaints and the things I have issue with.
Are folks only happy when everyone agrees and doesnt rock the boat?
What ever happened to voicing ones complaints and discussing them?
Now we are bashed for that too?
May I ask how long you've been reading/responding to internet forums? Just curious....

Apostolic forums? AFF was the first... I guess about a month ago or so.
Ive been on other forums like home improvement, sports etc for almost 2 years. Ive been a member of a paintball forum for about 4 years.
None of the ........ I've been coming aganst here has been on the paintball forum in 4 years. and its operated by non apostolics. What most folks would consider "worldy".
I was a member of an internet email list, (i'm guessing the predecesor to forums) years ago, and was a member of it for about 3 or 4 years.

You can't be serious! You have been on AFF for a month or so and you are not enjoying yourself..........so leave. It really is that simple. No one is going to think you are disrespectful for not reading our posts. What you really want is someone to beg you to stay...well, after 4 pages of responses it doesn't look as if it is going to happen. You have a decision to make....stay (which everyone is fine with) or go.
You are taking up Thads gossip space with this thread!
