Blessings to all

The Administrators here have demanded proof of my Regent graduation...... or else be banned... so with that I will say goodbye as this forum has overstepped it's role in meddling in the personal lives of people..... However, be assured after I am gone.. I will still be sending the proof they have demanded just for truths sake, once it is recieved... I trust and pray at that time that every member of this forum will TRULY STAND UP FOR TRUTH and rebuke those who lead this forum for their shortsightedness.....

With that said, blessings to all, if I can every help any of you in ANY WAY or if you'r ever in Destin, Fl and wish to stay in our home on the beach.. of course at no charge my email is drvaughn@lavabit.com

Blessings to all of you

If someone presents themselves as having achieved a credential among the system of men
and...
uses that credential as part of their identity when participating in an online community

how is asking for supporting evidence of having achieved a human/temporal credential anything other than an act consistent with knowing them that labor among us....and consistent with, a support of truth?

For the most part, I find any reference to human credential, among members of the body of God's Christ, as borderiing on complete irrelevance, a type of silliness, in discussions focusing on the Kingdom of God. Yet once evoked, they do present a basis for which credibility can be cross-referenced and questioning be presented to further examine purpose/motive.

So D.V., how does any action, persued in an attempt to verify a poster's genuiness, contradict

"TRULY STAND-ing UP FOR TRUTH"?

To me, it seems reasonable to ask, even though you have no obligation to provide it.

Does it MAKE you CRABBY or does it simply provide a STAGE for a CRABBY condition to be expressed

We feel we have given you enough time to gather the info needed, and at this time, you will have exactly one week to provide the necessary documentation. You don't have to post it on the public forum, but may submit it to the Admin to retain your privacy. It will be verified and a public approval made if the documentation appears legit.

If, however, you cannot or will not provide proof, your membership and ability to post on AFF will be terminated at the end of one week. You have one other option to continue posting, you can issue a public apology if you were not altogether truthful about your degree. The forum members, I'm sure, will be forgiving and we can put this all behind us and move on.

It's YOUR choice to leave - you are given an option to continue posting.

I apologize. I'm not a Parkbench. I also apologize for not believing the last post by the good Dr.

That's a good question. I think most people that know me see me as pretty laid back. I don't really like controversy. But, I guess there is still unresolved issues inside of me when it comes to people in positions of authority (or maybe so-called authority) acting like they don't have to answer to anybody. Because for YEARS I respected that so-called authority and was made miserable. Then, when I found out that I believed a bunch of stuff that wasn't true, it made me quite angry. So, that part of me doesn't usually come out unless I come to this forum, where I see people still doing the same things to other people who are maybe as vulnerable as I was. Maybe some day I will be above that and just leave it in the hands of God. For now, it still makes me pretty mad.
