Basically some on that forum feel that this is a "cesspool." BTW, I was briefly on AMF but got kicked off concerning a conversation over the existence of "Acts 2:38 believers" throughout history.

One admin had questioned the idea that there was a continual chain of believers straight through history. I agreed and another admin jumped in, frothing at the mouth and declared me to be "on thin ice." When I brought up that discussion over here the ax fell.

You should add several things to your list of "untouchable" topics. Don't make people guess what is allowable and what is not. The whole environment struck me as being controlled by a few hotheads who were being given way too much leash by the more reasonable men.
Exactly. And the amazing thing is, like Pel said, one of the admins started the thread. No doubt they need to add some things to the list of "untouchables." I was banned for questioning tithing. Some folks think the scripture says "Touch not mine anointed's [money]." Talk about taboo.
