I think, we as pastors, should not allow the young ministers we have under us to go and read that garbage. We as older ministers need to "mark them" and avoid them ourselves and not take the chance that our younger ministers will be able to defeat their thinking.
Garbage I say. I know I stand as one of a few but i am on the record saying many men will be lost for patting each other on the back in their rebellion.
just saying....

Bro. I---,
You have hit the nail on the head! I have long stated that the greatest danger of AFF, is young impressionable saints/preachers or any "weak" saint who may stumble on what is called an "Apostolic" forum. There are many people who with the advent of the internet now have access to more info than they can handle. When they find an "Apostolic" site many times they are happy to find others that believe like they do. Often they are looking for affirmation from other Apostolics, and what they find on AFF is anything but that.
I have watched as several have departed from the truth because of the ilk that they encountered on AFF, they came looking for people of like faith to shore up their doctrinal foundations, only to find those who rejoiced in the removal of all that is Holy; and IMHO those responsible will pay an eternal price if they do not repent. (Personally I fear than some of them are reprobate and can find no place of repentance.)
I am still a "member" because I try to help some of those that I feel are trying to find a real connection to truth.
Maybe what we really need to establish is an Apostolic forum for the public domain (not preachers/wives only) that really is apostolic in nature/content and spirit.

It's been tried & usually fails.
So instead we use facebook

Re: Just to pat one another on back
About three or four years ago, I visited the site out of curiosity and it seemed to have a majority of good people. I never posted there and only visited a few times. Last year, a friend made a comment about a thread there and I visited again. IMO, it had completely changed and was an overwhelming majority of bitter reprobates viciously attacking anything close to holiness. Those kind of people can't be helped or don't want to be helped. They are birds of a feather who feed off each other's negative comments about conservative Apostolics.
I made up my mind, after that last visit, it was not a place for any godly person and I vowed to never return. (FTR, I am a woman of my word - I ain't been back!)

I am persuded this might work if you could find the right admin. I realize we must allow differences of opinions and interpertations but to do away with all standards of holiness, they need to be rebuked and not allowed on.
Part of the requirements should be as a woman, "Do you believe cutting hair is wrong, wearing of mens apparel, ect." As a man, are you a queer, ect.
