[Nahum]

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.
