The forum is probably the ONLY place I can find up to date information, mostly thanks to Mark.
It has caused me to study out some things that have made me stronger.
I have laughed, cried and gotten mad over different post. And this place is like a family. We have a few "mother" figures, lots of brothers and sisters to squabble with and a few "pastors" to feed and guide us.
It will make you becareful to eat the meat and throw out the bones.
And yes I have made friends on the forum. I have new prayer partners, a book editor that has become a very good friend and someone I love dearly!
AFF has a lot to offer. You can see the glass half full or empty, the choice of course is yours.

I came a three-stepper and now have reevaluated that position. Thanks to all those who have helped me understand more about the history of Oneness Christianity.
Without AFF I might not have been able to make the transition out of the UPC and into a much more stable Christian environment.
Okay, in all seriousness. AFF has been fun and also frustrating with some of the 'tudes I've had to deal with. Like some others on here, I really was suprised to know that there are others who do not believe or hold the same "apostolic" doctrine as I do. Of course, I found that out through the GNC as well. I have had to learn to be tolerant quick, and I think as a result, I have become more tolerant of other Apostolics though I do not agree with them. I would say that the AFF has helped me to grow and learn through the many diverse thoughts that are found here.
