Well, because you heard it through the grapevine it MUST be true then!!!

I've been banned and just don't know it yet. :jolly

Maybe there's something to be said for considering the SOURCE of the info. ;)

Sister Alvear 01-04-2008 09:46 PM

I don´t come here to fuss...I come here to bless and be blessed...Many posters have blessed me...
I work a lot at the church office so I just keep my main computer on AFF..I may be doing something else but it is there.
If we were all just alike I think it would be a little boring...

Sister Alvear 01-04-2008 09:47 PM

I haven´t been banned...

You know every time I read this thread title I think posters are falling out in the spirit!

Like revival continues - fallouts abound!

Steadfast 01-05-2008 12:51 AM

Where did 'TONS' come from?

I've banned myself numerous times but never been banned by ADMIN. I have posted under two names Rhoni, and there was one other one but I forgot since I only used it a time or two.

I really don't like people hiding behind fictious and fake names, or course there are some people, no matter what name they use, they smell the same;).

Blessings, Rhoni

Sister Alvear 01-05-2008 07:46 AM

I like to know who I am talking to also! Bless you dear friend.

A wise man once said a cowboy should never straddle a barbed wire fence. This forum has slipped on the barbed wire. After Tulsa, there won't be much left to discuss except who is going charismatic, or which charismatic preacher is caught in sin. TV or not TV that is the question. That has already been answered. If you shut downs those threads you may end up with a total of five threads, three of them sticky threads.

I feel for the UPCI preachers that are owners of this forum! They get pounced from all directions!

If they allow too much freedom of opinion, they get criticized from some of their UPCI peers for allowing such anti-truth to be broadcast on their forum.

If they tighten the reins, they get criticized for not allowing freedom of opinion, or allowing their own opinions to be scrutinized.

It's got to be hard to find a balance! This forum ceases to be fun when the balance swings too far in one direction or the another.

Wouldn't it have been fun to have WWOD and Dan Alicia at the SAME TIME!!!!! Maybe God knew that the internet would have BLOWN UP!!! hahaha!

I think they do a good job, our mod/admin. UPCI or not we are an "APOSTOLIC" forum and this should reflect that belief system in principle. There has to be boundaries.

I like it here. I am a relative newbie, but I have been blessed and enlightened here. Also shocked and amazed. A lot of history, humor, and life.

Sarah 01-05-2008 11:12 AM

Dan's new forum........is it the fourth of fifth offshoot of Bro Yohe's original site? I think we can almost guarantee that somewhere down the road, some disgruntals will start another one from that one.

This is a good forum. I think when the crisis is over, and the chips have all fallen where they may, this forum will still be here and going strong. This is mostly due to the good, mature moderators and owners that we have.

Just hang tight, everyone.........and many, many thanks for the admin that has to take the blame for everything!

And given WWOD's integrity level, I would bet the farm on Dan! :D

If we are placing bets - I'd say WWOD would give him a run for his money, but in the end WWOD would lose his patience and fly off the handle way before Dan would have.

There were a few around the past few years that could rile him up to that point!

I thought TimLan held his own against WWOD! Taking on WWOD was above my intellectual ability! :D

Such an open insult on anyones integrity ought to be beneath you.


I would still bet the farm on WWOD. He is much more intellectually smart than Dan and a more astute poster when it comes to getting to the heart of the issue. The main problem with him is that most folks cannot keep up with how quickly his mind is working.

I really don't see a "crisis," just life as usual. Also, what "fallout?" (From the thread title).

I was going to quit and start a REAL anti-AFF forum, but BOOMM has finally caved into my demands and gotten rid of the Xmas smilies from the post area. Now, if he'll just re-enable to ability to select my favorites... :ouch

Ah, indeed. But let's be sure we understand why the frustration and not chalk it up to the wrong thing.

The Mrs is in charge of smilies.
Favorite Smileys is one coding that had to be removed as I am in the process of updating the software. It was not a part of VBulletin.

WWOD was talented no doubt. I would tell him he'd remind me of my former husband. He'd confuse me so that I'd forget what we were frighting about - it was an art.

One good thing about WWOD not being with us anymore.....I don't need to have a dictionary besides me anymore while I'm on the forum! :D

That sounds more like Dan than WWOD. Or more correctly, Dan never let the issue remain the issue. It always ended up about something else.

AHEM...I riled him quite well myself but it is difficult to keep up with the Bi-polar mind:shhh I will admit though, for all my education...I bet his IQ is much higher than mine. He, as well as Dan had some very good posts but many times they get lost in their own words.:ouch
