The other night my husband and I were at the dinner table with my eleven-year old daughter. The conversation had come around to a particular thread and so we were discussing it. During the conversation, my husband I were talking about different points that were being made;
"Well did you see what Dizzy wrote about ....,"
"and then Pastor Poster said"....
"Well yeah but Rico said",
"but what do you think Ferd meant by...",
"and RandyWayne was hilarious when he wrote..."
"Yeah but on that other thread, 1399 made the point that..."
"Well Rhoni and Renda both shot them down..."
"And Sister Alvear was asking about...."
"Rico and Dan were going at it again..."
"ReformedDave has been there, though, and he said..."
"Abundant Grace changed his profile picture..."
"Amazing Grace made me laugh when..."
"DividedThigh and Sam were discussing..."
Finally, after a few minutes my daughter (looking completely confused and flustered) Blurted out,
"WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?"....
I just about fell on the floor laughing!
Tell her those are the names of a baseball team
__________________ Let it be understood that Apostolic Friends Forum is an Apostolic Forum.
Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
It won't work, ESPN is a staple in my house, and she could probably tell you every MLB and NFL team... I have sports addicts in the house.
Tonight I may try the "Imaginary friend" idea, though!

Sometimes I catch my self telling someone my friend said this or that,and then someone will say how long have you known them?
Sadly I have never met anyone from AFF or another message board personally,I talk to people from forums on the phone,received christmas presents from people from forums but I have yet to meet anyone from a forum personally.
I did meet a poster's husband once but that sister has since divorced that man.
