There are no organizational restrictions as in WordShare.

Pastor Poster, I have seen no indication that this is a power play or a Posse run forum. It is simply some men who got tired of the Synadelfos and AFF attacks on what we hold dear.

Another good ole boys club where women dare not trod? Please tell me I'm wrong...

Exactly the kind of post Phil was talking about.

Go sign up and see. I bet they'd welcome you.

They also are allowing minister's wives.

Disclaimer: This is just MY opinion... and may or may not reflect the views of other members of the admin team.

When people are online posting on public forums I don't see where one person is any better than the other. I understand people wanting ministers to be respected. I do have respect for the ministry. However, this is an internet forum-- not a church. I don't feel that any group of posters should be elevated and treated differently than any of the other posters on the forum. If a person shows me respect and treats other posters with respect, I will show them the same respect. However if they post with a nasty attitude-- (and believe me, I've seen some ministers do just that) they are pretty much going to get what they dish out. That's just the nature of a public forum. If people can't deal with that... perhaps a forum isn't the best place for them.

I could never be comfortable at Daniel's place, and I doubt I would be comfortable at IAM's place either.

I refuse to submit myself to either authority.

PP, I've been a fan of yours since you joined AFF. I'm on several forums and I'm also an admin at Synadelfos. I'd like to extend to you a personal invitation to join us at SynaD. There are too many features to miss out on, that you can't get on Vbulletin.

There's no reason why we can't move about the forums freely. Anybody who thinks differently has some major power/control issues.

What? The preachers don't like to be preached to by us little folk?

Thanks Friend, but I'm sure I would not be comfortable there.

You are very kind, however.

Tina, I agree with your post 100%.
