Disappointed with apostolics
 
I got really turned off from Facebook {DEACTIVATED} due to all the ungodly bickering among religious folks; even those that professed to be Born Again Apostolics, and now I'm getting turned off {AFF} with all this carnal foolishness over other's opinions, comments, and thoughts; the blatant, and willful rudeness: WHERE IS THE GODLY ATTITUDES, AND WITNESS???? I'm finding out that many people that were baptised in Jesus name, and profess to be filled with the Holyghost are like "coins lost in the house", and not really living a practicing life of worship {at least not by the behaviour on AFF}, and service to Jesus; just going to church, and another manner of person(s) outside of church-where's the godly convictions??: these willful ugly debates, and rudeness on AFF is dispicable. I'm very disappointed-I thought that I found a wholesome site to fellowship without reflecting those same mean, and ugly spirits that I witnessed on Facebook.

There are so many sweet people who post here, people I'm very fond of.
And there are some who appear to me (I could be wrong) to be wounded and bitter.
I would say this: If you are not being edified, or learning something about other viewpoints that has some value, then you should probably leave the forum.

Have you ever given thought to starting your own forum? I'm sure you are not alone in your desire to have fellowship with people of like precious faith...I'm not being a smart aleck- I am serious.

Or, maybe you could actually turn your thoughts around. Maybe your tenure here doesn't have to be ALL ABOUT YOU. Maybe God has placed you here 'For such a time as this' to be a help and a blessing to a hurting, or disallussioned soul?

Just some thots...

People are people wherever we go.

I know, right.

Oh wait, have I always been this way? Don't answer that.

Face Book is quite easy to control... you can block the types of posts you see, and block people of unfriend people.

On here that is also possible...

You can block users that annoy you, and choose not to read threads that are not to you liking.

...have said that, read the rules (http://www.apostolicfriendsforum.com...hread.php?t=35) and by all means report posts that you think cross the line.

In general, AAF is here to uplift and share not bicker and debate.

Hope this helps.

The problem is, is that if you have a forum with like minded people there will be almost no discussion. What is there to argue about and keep the conversations moving? (seriously) LOL

I blocked a whole lot of people on Facebook this last election cycle. LOL
