What were you expecting or looking for at AFF?

After reading a post in another thread I was amazed how the poster came with one agenda and found another.

For me I go back to the first original forum. To be honest it has been my favorite because it was what I was looking for; Bible study interaction. The newer forums don't offer the dept of discussion we had there. One reason is most of those posters have left to go to a ministers only forum.

Second the same subject keep coming up and some of the older posters just are tired of discussing the same subjects, here I need to remind US, me included to be more patient and let them ask their questions.

Third reason I have found and appreciate is updates of what is happening around the different churches. I have found pastors today tend to keep everything to them selves.

Discussion on conferences I am not able to attend. It's a good way to keep updated.

I have met some really nice people here and truly miss a lot of my favorites that have left.

I love and have learned politics from PO and Deacon Blues.

The food section used to more lively than it is now. But everything ebbs and flows.

I dont have as much time as I used to here but still enjoy interacting with cyber friends.

I found this forum in 2010, and it has been a blessing in many ways for me too. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us Esther

AFF has been what I expected. Friends and fellowship.

Although I would say for a period of time there, when things were really rough for me, it was hard here too because I was changing so much. People didn't know who I was.

So true.

It seems many come here with a set of beliefs, and then as you are challenged by other opinions and thoughts, it helps to form and solidify what you really believe in.

In a world mostly filled with people that have no earthly idea about the Oneness doctrine, I find comfort in discussing subjects with folks who have a similar Oneness background as me. We share a unique world and religious view.

I was expecting it to be totally different than it actually was.
Expecting to find discussion on scripture. Imagine my surprise to find a bunch of crazy people (not naming names), and I fit right in!!

I found many people who will send up prayers for total strangers. Lifting prayers for things they have no idea about .... just praying!! Thank you to all of those who have ever called out prayers for me and my family......even though we have never met and probably never will in this life...you are truly the meaning of having real friends in time of need~

Just good Christian fellowship.
