There is a difference between mocking and pointing out error.

I've checked a few times today to see if AFF was back up. It wasn't and every time I thought, "Oh boy, I'll bet some folks are dancing around their living rooms right now thinking that God wanted certain current activities to stop."

And sure enough...look what was posted. You guys are watching too much Harry Potter.

Too funny, there was actually a thread on another forum claiming that AFF had been shut down because of legal actions by LS supporters!

Legal actions? What in the world could be illegal about any public discussions here?

The funny thing is all the whiners at the other board along with un-named UPC ministers, were probably bored to death during that time :ursofunny

LOL. I hope you're joking with this Preddy. Biblically, the office of an elder is an office to which one has been ordained by the apostolic ministry.

Those who were being admonished here - Lee Stoneking and that other guy, "Art" - are clearly teaching doctrines that the apostles in the Bible never approved of.

Further - Lee Stoneking has associated himself with a criminal enterprise by boasting of his "doctorate" from the Institute for Christian Works. Why would anyone support such activity?

I was at Gateway (a UPCI endorsed Bible college) back in the 1980s when a bunch of the other students were talking about the money they were making simply by "driving cars" from Arizona to Missouri and back. They were excited! They were making some good cash and they were working for the president of Gateway College of Evangelism.

It was a real sweet deal until the indictments came down.

What is it with you people and your love for involvement in criminal activity?

So true.

Not having AFF for a day makes you appreciate it all the other 364 days!

Prax, I'd be willing to bet that there are MANY within the UPC system that are watching all this and rooting FOR those who are exposing all this. I don't have a lot of contacts within the UPC anymore but the few that I've talked to had had enough of him many years ago and were sick of his games almost from the time they started. Enough is enough.

or apostolic.net, goodpreaching.com, apostolicvideo.net and all the other sites which are pretty much right leaning. If God had anything at all to do with it it was in that he helped me get over 60 gb of website files moved, restored and back online quickly, efficiently and painlessly AND still get a decent nights sleep.. That was the smoothest transfer of servers I have ever gone through.

Well, it was all those prayers that helped you!

Again, thanks so much! I do hope you weren't the one speaking last night while you texted instructions - lol!

I said it on another thread but in case you don't see it, thank you for all your hard work!:thumbsup

I was told by an attorney that it was shut down for a particular reason. I did not initiate or instruct such a thing. I know the guy and he had called to inform me of certain actions he was taking. I am open with my writings and my beliefs. I think it is all about direction though Renda, Prax, admin, etc. What would you like the reputation of this forum to be?

Another lie from "the lawyer"? Perhaps?

Who was it shut down by? And what was the particular reason? The government? And isn't it illegal for someone else to do that?

Well, your attorney friend was lying.

There's no reason to shut AFF down.

John A maintains our server and the hard drive crashed and he had to transfer to a new server and use the back-up from yesterday. That's it. Nothing to hide.

I posted several times on FB yesterday what the problem was and continued to be and John has posted this morning what the problem was and what he did.

vBulletin might have been called, but FOR SURE we weren't down because of that call.

One that seeks out the truth?

I can't understand why you're not troubled by the things this 'lawyer' is doing and telling you. He obviously did not tell you the truth. That doesn't bother you?

JN,

If that attorney told you that, and it was really just a crash, was he lying to you?

So, did the lawyer lie to you (which has nothing to do with AFF) or is John lying who has EVERYTHING to do with AFF?

I think your lawyer friend is trying to impress you. I'm not impressed with him though.

Not impressed with it either. At all. Rather I'm depressed to see the extents some will undergo to IMPRESS.

Was that "attorney" LS's "British Attorney?"

Really dude, if you're going to make apologetics your career, you've got to develop a more keen sense of skepticism.

The lag the site was experiencing before it crashed was a good indication of a tech issue.

I have not read all the threads. I hadn't when I was called either. I only knew of what had been said of Bro Stoneking and Bro Treece. We had a tragedy in our church this week and I have been very distracted. I have just learned somethings for the first time. I left a voice mail for some folks to call me back.

Sorry for the tragedy.

However, before you immediately believe your "friend" you might want to check out the facts.

Also, vB doesn't just "shut you down" when someone complains. If there was a REAL reason that vB felt we should be shut down, they would contact us first and tell us why.

Have been praying for this family. Is the mom still hospitalized? It is such a sad tragedy.

JN Anderson 07-07-2010 10:06 AM

Re: AFF God has spoken
 
It was a terrible tragedy. This family had already adopted one and was visiting the next two they would adopt, for the first time, when the father drowned. He was only a few feet away from the shore too. Trinity River has some strong currents. He had jumped in to catch the little girl who had slipped in the river.
