New to AFF and feel kinda like I'm wandering in the wilderness, not know the ropes nor how to use them. Will look and listen and see if in time I might not be able to add something to a forum that I have been watching now for many weeks. Know some of the members and others that I would sure like to get to know.
Great to be with you.

Welcome BT, what have you been thinking about lately?

I like the humor and of course being from Texas can't hurt.......
Hey Mizpeh, hope you had a great Christmas my friend.

Welcome BT, what have you been thinking about lately?
Well I BeenThinkin.... do I want to talk about the beard that my wife won't let me grow, (but some have said I'm not manly if I don't have it), or do I want to talk about "did God die?" I know I didn't hear anything about his funeral. I read that entire post and I don't know for sure who I am now! I wish we could simply let the Bible say what it says, without private interpretation.
We build entire doctrines on one scripture about how our women must dress, and yet can't let the MANY scriptures say who the Son was.
We quote a scripture that says God is a spirit and then in the next breath proclaim that He is flesh.
And then we suddenly discover that somewhere there is a woman pastor. Oh, God forbid. Now which God is doing the forbidding? (Now I didn't say that there was anything wrong with a woman pastor...someone else did! I also didn't say it was okay. GUESS!!) Yep! I BeenThinkin! And then I saw the thread about "HUMILITY." I'm humble and proud of it and wrote a book on how I got that way.
And one more note before I quit rambling... I bet some of the founders of OP would preach you into hell for having an Apostolic Friends Forum. Oops I said "I bet!" that would get me in trouble too.
I guess it's time I QuitThinkin! Did I get off topic? I'm sorry! Don't tell Renda.

Ramble away BT. And if all else fails, smack some people to get their attention. (Except your wife, of course.) If you like, I can help with that.
What book did you write on humility?
