Many many moons ago I used to post on The UPCI's forum and then later I believe it got shut down. I was wondering what other forums are out there.

Oneness
Apostolic
Pentecostal
Jesus Name
Other
etc

Please provide links...

And by the way, I'm faithful to AFF (much to the chagrin of many). No other forums in my life.

Who needs another one, AFF is the best. :)

The GoodNewsCafe is the only other one I know about, besides the closed ministers' forums.

I would never participate in a "Closed Minister's Forum", not that they would let me anyway. The exclusivity is nauseating to me.

Safari can’t find the server.
Safari can’t open the page “http://www.narrowmindedpreachers.org/” because Safari can’t find the server “www.narrowmindedpreachers.org”.

Praxeas why don't you start this one. You could probably fill it up pretty fast! :razz

I don't believe in the absoluteness of tithing, so I instead just send a "Love-gift."

I run a forum, it was actually one of the originals from which FCF sprang which morphed into NFCF and from whose membership sprouted AFF. I am not giving out the link because I don't want many people here to join there...:D

The UPCI has a men's ministry forum for men only. I used to post there, but the ownership is UPCI and the admin is very heavy handed in what is allowed to be discussed. It's basically an "amen corner." Since it's owned by the UPCI, you would expect a constant regurgitation of the company's interests - it's their right. They moved it to a new site about a year or so ago and I never renewed my enlistment when they did.

I hope everyone there is doing swell. I just could never get into the 'tubthumping' atmosphere of that stuff.

They are open to "scriptual" discussion, but no, they would never allow the sarcastic bantering that goes on in other places. If you don't like the answers you get your more than welcome to debate scripture but they will not cater to tit for tat arguing. They have a very low member count because of this. No drama = no fun .

It seems like you can get away with posts that say, "Well this friend of mine believes _______, how do I answer him?":ursofunny

Only if you agree with their specific understanding of a particular scripture. I found that posts by some specific people who actually contributed intelligent, berean points of view were often shouted down, edited by admin or deleted altogether, while another character over there (I think his screen name was Ryder, or something like that), who was a blatant judaizer, were allowed to devolve to the point where the conclusion was that we should reinstate the dietary laws of the Mosaic code and men should not trim the corners of their beards.

When Doug J ran the forum, there was a great deal more openness to differing views. Since Jim L took over though, there was a marked change in administration... a much more heavy-handed approach to topics that challenged the status quo. I had never before seen so many locked and deleted threads ANYWHERE. It really is not a discussion forum. It's an affirmation forum - no real discussion. Very oppressive, IMO.

I should qualify, though, that I have not even lurked there in a few years, so things may have changed. I would be surprised, though.

Actually Bro. Doug J is still head Admin and is over Bro. Jim. Also I would note that Bro. Jim has been open to certain discussion that he has been directed to close.

But just like here and every other forum, it has evolved over the past year and is a little less "heavy handed" as you say.

Post the link, and then just ban everybody who shows up. It'll make your day.

That's good news! Maybe I'll lurk and see what's going on sometime. Since I'm not a member of a UPCI church, I would not be eligible for membership.

Let me also say that I can't say I didn't learn anything in my time there. Doug was a good friend and mentor to me at times (whether he knew it or not). Is Pastor Crawford still around? I heard he was in poor health.

Yes Bro. Crawford is still there. You do not have to be a member of a UPC church to join. We have many members from Independant Apostolic churches and others. One of our most active posters is not UPC. (and he has facial hair ) lol

It had it's day. Ah, back then the UC's were bashing me for being to liberal and the libs for being an ironfisted UC. I just threw up my hands and joined AFF....

Admining that forum taught me not only can you not make everyone happy.... you can't make anyone happy... so why try?
