Sometimes I ask myself that same question. Then I answer it with this: Raven, Pressingon, Amazing Grace, Renda, Sis Falla, Sis Alvear,Rico, Bro. Scott. Sisters Barb, Esther and Rhoni, St Matthew and many more. You guys are the reasons I keep hangin' around. And something more...every so often a crumb falls from the Masters Table in the form of a post that ministers to me- and helps me to see where I need to follow a little closer to the Lord.
Micheal Phelps, too. So I hang around because of you guys. Its your fault I'm still here.
I'm glad you are here.
I have met a lot of people in real life from this forum and other forums I'm a member of and have not been disappointed. There are several others I hope to meet someday as well.
In fact, I'd like to meet everyone, even those I can't stand on here....LOL!
There are those of us who are quite different in real life than we are on this forum. I'm one of those people (or so I've been told). Some people on this forum I honestly don't or cannot get along with here, but I would love to meet them in person because of comments from others I admire and believe who have met them and have awesome things to say.
As for why I stick around this place, must be the addiction. I have no other explanation.

Wow such a mushy lovey thread! Sniff sniff not sure what all to say.... I guess I just want to stand and say tonight that I love the forum and that I am so thankful to be here and I am so thankful for all my dear friends... Rhoni, Falla, Scott, Dizzy, Carey and all the rest of you nuts and thats all I have tonight... AMEN!!!!
Next.... Sis Rhoni why dont you stand up and say a word for the forum LOL sorry... Ok I am doing being goofy
fyi this was my attempt at a tension breaker as I started to get teary eyed
The forum...hummm, of FCF, NFCF, and AFF...things get better and better. The Island was kind of like Abraham's bosom...the peace before judgement day.
Many have wondered why so many of us ex-UPC people hang around here and I know from time to time we've tried to explain it, but the answer for me is just as RD stated - - it's our history.
It's part of my culture of who I am and why I am who I am. To be in contact with others that were raised similar makes it fun to hang around here. It's like a family - we know so many of the same people, have had so many of the same experiences and like the UPC culture thread can laugh about so many of the things we did through the years.
With all the fussing and division at times it's a wonder we even speak to each other from day to day, but it's because we have that common bond.
What's so hard to understand about that?
Why do you hang around here?
I get paid

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.
