Re: BAM! I just got banned from EA! WOW!

It sounds like all the "banning going on out der" may be the result of some technical issues -such as a bad script or two on their server. Or maybe one or two are just overenthusiastic when it comes to keeping the group pure.... Who knows.

Re: BAM! I just got banned from EA! WOW!

Well, I take it back. I just received a request!!! :) (Not from anyone on here.)

Re: BAM! I just got banned from EA! WOW!

I never get invited to stuff like this. I tried changing my deodorant and everything too! :kickcan

Re: BAM! I just got banned from EA! WOW!

I have learned a lot during my posting tenure here at AFF.

I have instructed all three of my internet addicted teenagers to stay away from Everyone's Apostolic. There are some internet sites that are voyeuristic in nature, and this seems to be one of them. The definition of the word voyeur I am speaking of is: a prying observer who is usually seeking the sordid or the scandalous.

I worry about some of our so-called Apostolic or Pentecostal sites on the net. Several owners of these sites have shared stories of information mining on their "brothers and sisters in the Lord." This information, posted in innocence and with a false sense of security, was/is used gainst "brothers and sisters in the Lord" to BRING THEM DOWN.

Again, I have a huge distrust for the owners and admins of any internet site. It's not that I distrust ALL of them. It's just that I have been burned a couple of times. I worry about people (owners) reading private messages and using the info gleaned in a malicious manner.

These type of sites (Everyone's Apostolic) are among the worst. Suppose a UPC kid posts his favorite movies or tv shows? Suppose he shares stories of things he has done that does not fit within acceptable "UPC" behavior?

I have seen enough bloodshed in our Pentecostal culture to know this will happen, and when it does several people are gonna get hurt.

Sister, some people can't stand authority, unless it's them who has it. ;)

My post was in no way meant to slam the admins/owners of AFF.

I think you know that, Renda.

I didn't know I was banned until I read MOW's posting here. lol

Sure enough, they wiped out all traces of me. And man ... I had a nice Tulane page set up. Well, it's their site and their privilege.

I DID put up my blog posts on Holley, Burr, including my introductory blog post so there is no question where I stood.

Apparently brining out anything about the PCI position and the real history of salvation doctrine in the UPC is not considered palatable material over there. Nor is any frank, unvarnished reminisces about the men and events from the last 63 years that made the UPC what it is today.

And ... it's really much more of a socializing thing along the lines of Myspace even more than Synadelfios. A lot of kids are on there.

My daughter has a site on there and a lot of her relatives from her mother's side of the family.

But my writings are not welcome there, obviously.

And again, that is their perfect right.

Timlan, It had to be the facial hair and muscle shirt. Sorry Bro. :ursofunny:ursofunny:ursofunny
