AFF is like...
 
I just had an amusing thought and thought I would share...

Lurking at AFF is kinda like looking in the backyard of Apostolia, when they have invited their friends over for a barbecue.

Lurking at (insert acronym for preachers forum here) is more like looking in the bedroom of Apostolia...

Thoughts/Comments? ;)

We envisioned it to be like looking into the fellowship hall at a church - where all types of people gathered together, talking about whatever in their own little groups.

If that is indicative of their "bedrooms", I shutter.

I think you guys have hit the mark... as long as the Fellowship Hall is full of different types of people (like you would find at a Wedding or Anniversary party, etc.)... that was more of a jab at the preacher's forums. lol.

The problem is what's talked about in their bedrooms should just be between two people - - not others. I do see your point. I think some underestimate the "privacy" of their forums or the confidentiality of their posters.

And of course, I'm not actually in the backyard or the bedroom, I'm just peeking over the fence or peering through the curtains (shudder) fascinated by a game I don't understand and don't want to play, yet can't get enough of how the ones playing it are so fascinated with it.

But a fellowship hall where the room won't grow suddenly silent if you say something out of "the box".

Love it!

In the forum world I guess that would be equivalent to having your IP addressed banned.

Lol, you can't change it at the other place though! I'm fine here with this one since it is just my quasi-anonymous ID.

And you know you can't have a BBQ in your backyard without a few showing up that everyone else wishes would have stayed home. LOL

I'm thinking of SOOOOOO many analogies (BBQ)

Good thick steaks
Wieners
Out of control fires
gnats

I was in that proverbial bedroom, brushing shoulders with the others for 10 years. I never want to be in that bedroom again. I know all the "tricks". (No pun intended.) ;)

Digging, I was having a lot of fun with your comment, hope you don't mind.

But then I got to thinking the about the truth of your statement in comparison with Noah's ark. God had him get 2 of every kind of creature. Friend and foe must have been there. They had to co-exist for what must have seemed like an eternity for an animal...... the aggression and aweful stink there must have been... et cetera.

The point you make is very true. There will always be those who are much different than each us, some we will not like; but it is by God's design, and I believe it is one of His desires that we can somehow learn to co-exist. Dare I mention, encourage one another, prefer another over ourselves, brotherly love and the like?

Who is perfect? None, save Christ.

Please excuse my ramblings on personal growth. Back to a lighter note....

http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...aig/wilson.gif Wilson, you are brave coming over here where the pigs and snakes mingle. :evilglee

No problem at all.

And... Timmy... no... not you either. But that is the last time I am going to say that because I might end up in trouble if I don't stop that now. :)

Yup. A quick lesson in the difference between grilling and slow cooking.

One UC (of BBQ) will proclaim that only the dry rub is the way to go while another will stand 110% behind the wet one.

And debate endlessly......

Yes we do! In fact, I am about to head out to drive to Toledo to meet with a friend from long-ago. It's a 1/2 hour drive. That gives me lots of time to pray for many of my friends here on AFF - including you, my sweet sister!

"I was in the deepest darkest jungles of Brazil, and guess what I found?"
"THE INTERNET!"
