After months of roaming the barren wastelands of a world without a computer, where telephones and snail mail still reigns supreme, cut off from his AFF friends, lost and alone in a land where he was all but forgotten, One Accord has finally and at long last found his way back to his beloved city of refuge called the Apostolic Friends Forum. There, a joyous reunion was in store, where One Accord recounted his long and treacherous journey in the cyberless world. Join us as we relive his harrowing ordeal. Learn the shocking answer to the question thats on everyones mind.....
Who's OneAccord and is he really more Apostolic than Dan A?

Welcome back! I was just thinking about you this morning and wondering how you were doing.

Titus2woman on AFF
"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"
Well, its good to be back and even godder to know that I haven't been completely forgotten. I've really missed being on AFF and am wondering who's still here. The biggest problem I'm having now is remembering passwords and such like. But, I'll re-remember them...in time.
So... need some updates. Has the PCI/PAJC issues been resolved yet? What about Magic Hair?
I'll get back into posting as soon as I can. Looking forward to reconnecting ASAP!

Though I didn't attend the JCM reunion, and ergo, did not rub shoulders with the lost and backslidden, I am still considered stupid by those who are, or think they are, smarter than me.
I believe in magic hair and will prove it to anyone and everyone who is interested. My hair is magic because it is disappearing even as I speak, er...type.
In regards to the 1 step/3 step issue, I am a firm believer in both. For example, in setting up this new puter this morning, I found that I was apt to take 1 step forward and 3 steps backwards. Which, incidentally, is how I do most things in life.
Been doing some writing. Which is correct, since, I had no workable computer upon which to type, I was forced to resort to actually writing. You know...pen and paper... the old fashioned way. I'm writing a "The Work of an Evangelist"- a series of articles on what I believe the Lord taught me about my ministry way back in the day when I had a ministry. don't know yet whether or not if I'll post them on AFF.
My next computer project is trying to retrieve old files on my old dead computer. I've heard its possible but it may take someone alot smarter than me to do it.
And, for my last update (as if any one cares), I'm still single. Had a couple of possiblities, but, well, I guess either I wasn't ready or they were a little too ready. Anyway, still waiting for the Lord to send that special someone that can look beyond my many faults and see that deep down inside there is a good guy struggling to be free.
Oh yeah, one more update. I sitll tpye a bucnh of tpyos. They say a tiger ca'nt chnage hsi spots. Or, is that a loeprad? So..deal with it.
