Well that solves the problem of "preacher bashing" then doesn't it? Now only Preachers will be allowed to bash other preachers and non-preachers lol

The forum was started for men who are preachers AND believe the full Acts 2:38, john 3:5-8 Water and Spirit doctrine of salvation to get together and fellowship on line without all of the attacks and belittling (poorly disguised as legitimate discussion) of said doctrine. 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.

Phil, for the record.

Synadelfos is not a one man show. Yours truly is also an Admin there.

And as Renda pointed out the different forums are there for different purposes.

There are some things posted on Synadelfos which (rightfully so) would be unwelcome here. The purpose of this forum is to discuss matters from an "traditional" Apostolic slant. Anyone who cannot honor that purpose should be banned from this site.

The purpose of Synadelfos is open discussion about all topics without a preset slant by Admin. Yes even trinitarians and universalists are welcome to express their views. Anyone upset by such freedom of speech will probably feel uncomfortable there.

The justpreachers forum has an even more predefined slant than AFF. They only allow preachers of like faith. And even knowing I personally would not be allowed there I still maintain there is NOTHING wrong with that. They want to be a closed societal fellowship. That is a healthy thing for men to be able to do on occasion.

Do you believe the message as defined in my post? If so, I would say go on over and register and see what happens. I saw no gender statement for preachers and I am not aware of any particular bias against women in ministry.

It's kind of sad to me, that some ministers have trouble with the level playing field concept. In the arena of ideas, they are no different than non-ministers. To me, a special "preachers only" forum, even if it's not their intent, reeks of exclusion and elitism. This doesn't belong in the Body of Christ.

I did my best not to post this... deleted it four times...

DBD... your post is stupid! You, like one other I mentioned, probably are upset that you cannot join the girl scouts or the ladies auxillary.

Your ilk really seem to live to throw stones. If you had a drummers forum, I would not feel like you were being elitist if you didn't let Sax players join. I AIN'T NO DRUMMER! Get a life and get off your pinnacle of piety from which you love to throw stones!

Oh, and you can ban me if you like.

Once again I am reminded why I don't come here!

Stupid posts and attitudes... and yes, at this moment I have one!

Stupid Stupid Stupid!

Thanks for the kind words. :)

Already have been.. but not in persistent attacks on "the ministry" and its elitist positions and who do they think they are.

Wearying and tiresome. That is all.

That's the reason I'm a little edgy about that real name stuff.
