Whatever happened to some of these AFF Members?
 

I've been on and off with AFF for several years. I joined in Feb 2007. Mostly, I've been a lurker, but I've put up posts at different times and even started a few threads. I was just thinking about some of the posters that have been on this forum over the years and wondered what happened to them, since I don't see their posts any longer. Some of those that I remember are

Coonskinner
Steadfast
Atlanta Bishop
Rev Randy
Wholehearted
Monkey man
Piano man
Sherri
Daniel Alicea or DAII

Re: Whatever happened to some of these AFF Members
 

Coonskinner is still an ultra con coon hunting pastor!
Pianoman is still on here but under a different name
DA is banned for life
Sherri - hmmm....don't know. Didn't realize she wasn't posting still.

I will let other folks update the status of the others.

CC1, you were another I was just about to add to my list. I don't see your posts very often anymore. I see you are an administrator.

Daniel Alicea, I think I do remember that he was banned, came back, and was banned a second time now that you mentioned it.

Re: Whatever happened to some of these AFF Members
 

what about evang. bennincasa? Miss those bacon jokes.

Re: Whatever happened to some of these AFF Members
 

"Banned for life"? What does a person have to do to be banned for life?

I thought DAII was Dan Alicea?

Re: Whatever happened to some of these AFF Members
 

There are a lot of people who used to post here, even recently who just suddenly quit, for unknown reasons. I do know that RandyWayne quit about a year ago, and said he wasn't coming back. I don't know what happened to EvangBenicasa as he was on here almost every day for a long time, and then just suddenly disappeared. I think perhaps many people have turned to FB for their social media outlet, and perhaps don't have time to post here anymore.

Re: Whatever happened to some of these AFF Members
 

I think Daniel Alicea was DAII. I think this was his name before he got banned the 2nd time. He is one that I do not miss.

Re: Whatever happened to some of these AFF Members
 

They left because it's not an Apostolic Friends Forum anymore.
It's just a Forum where "anything goes" including promoting islam.

Re: Whatever happened to some of these AFF Members
 

Didn't there used to be a poster who was Mennonite or former Mennonite or something like that?

Re: Whatever happened to some of these AFF Members
 

Sounds serious, right?

I kinda miss that guy.

Re: Whatever happened to some of these AFF Members
 

Yeah,. the chimney sweeper, right?

Re: Whatever happened to some of these AFF Members
 

I am friends with him on Facebook. Do not know why he is not hear any more.

Re: Whatever happened to some of these AFF Members
 

How about Pelathais and Felicity?

Re: Whatever happened to some of these AFF Members
 

Both are on fb as well.

Felicity spent a few years in China but is back home now. Pelathais is diligently bashing the Obama administration.

Re: Whatever happened to some of these AFF Members
 

I am present! Not here every day and primarily because I have a heavier schedule... Working 70 hrs a week the last six months. Second I do keep up with many AFF members and former members on FB.

Love all here and hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas!

Re: Whatever happened to some of these AFF Members
 

I like Felicity, but I really miss Pelathais.

Re: Whatever happened to some of these AFF Members
 

Same to ya Hoovie, we love and appreciate your thoughtful posts. God's blessings upon you now and the coming year!!!!

Re: Whatever happened to some of these AFF Members
 

Nobody misses John Atkinson? c'mon.... He went pagan. Of course he never was too active here. Personally, the very nature of online relationships are impermanent . You meet people. You establish a rapport, you like, even love those people. But... it's vapor.

It is the nature of online communities. AFF is still here and thriving.

I am happy about that. Bright Yule blessings on all of you, and may the light of the new born sun bring you warmth, hope and prosperity in the coming year.
Your heathen brother...
John Atkinson

Re: Whatever happened to some of these AFF Members
 

LOL!!!!! Well, I do believe that Timmy and marcbee have you beat, but I love yall the same.

Re: Whatever happened to some of these AFF Members
 

Yeah, I remember that guy. His wife was on the TV show Wife Swap. I also remember they were from a church in Missouri.

Re: Whatever happened to some of these AFF Members
 

And so I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the FORUM of the Holy Apostolics, and they were forgotten in the FORUM where they had so done: this is also vanity. :D

Re: Whatever happened to some of these AFF Members
 

:lol

Re: Whatever happened to some of these AFF Members
 

it is only vapor if you doubt that these relationships continue on some plane, and strengthen overall. Even on a practical plane.

Re: Whatever happened to some of these AFF Members
 

Behold, the man - still alive - just almost working himself to death on those chimneys.

Re: Whatever happened to some of these AFF Members
 

Glad to see you check in every once in a while Jay :)

Re: Whatever happened to some of these AFF Members
 

We miss you here Hoovie! Don't work yourself too hard! :)

Re: Whatever happened to some of these AFF Members
 

May the Lord bless you too! Still praying that the Lord continues to draw and lead you in your search for truth :)

Re: Whatever happened to some of these AFF Members

Re: Whatever happened to some of these AFF Members

Re: Whatever happened to some of these AFF Members
 

I think many crossed over to FB. I know it consumes my computer time.:highfive

Re: Whatever happened to some of these AFF Members
 

Or IG, which consumes alot of my time! :p

Re: Whatever happened to some of these AFF Members
 

That is "hoovie" and he still posts here. In fact he posted on this thread before your post I quoted above.

Re: Whatever happened to some of these AFF Members
 

I hear tell he in a nut house for breakin into the house of one Gary Wreckedheart? rantin and ravin bout some nonesense about taking his face off of a wall of shame?

They took him away in a straight jacket...

Re: Whatever happened to some of these AFF Members
 

I am not on facebook, so how can I access that place without being a member, I do not trust FB at all, they have zero privacy.

Re: Whatever happened to some of these AFF Members
 

Very true. And I have noticed people becoming quite the busybody being members of FB. The majority of people I have talked to say this -"Oh, I don't post on FB a lot, I mainly just lurk." LOL! IOW, you are just being nosy? I just want to laugh when someone tells me they don't "post" all that much?

To your question, if a person has an open account on FB, you can read their posts without logging in. For example, many politicians, churches, businesses etc. have open FB pages.

Some people I follow on Twitter will link their FB comments, i.e., Mark Levin for example - and you can read what they have posted. So, in Google, you would type - Mark Levin Facebook and his link to FB will show up. Click the link, read his posts.

I'm not interested in hooking up with people I don't email, text or talk with on the phone. If you are not close to me, I am not going to be involved in your personal life. That's just me.

Another thing that really bothers me is how down and/or depressed people can become when talking about how others don't respond to their posts at all while viewing them having a great conversation with others. I don't like the emotional up and downs it creates in some people's lives. It makes me feel sad hearing the stories.

I heard a preacher recently say - "Would you actually call all 1,000 people that are on your FB list and tell them you had oatmeal for breakfast? But, you will posts several shots of that breakfast on FB." Hilarious! And a great point! :heeheehee
