Am I being asked to leave?

I wish you would NOT leave. I already miss most of the conservative posters who used to post here, and we don't need to lose anymore. As it is, the forum is imbalanced, IMO.

Absolutely...no reason for anyone to leave unless they feel it is time...

The reason why Bro Epley posted that is because he and other
Conservatives do not feel welcome on AFF and feel out of place.
many remarks over time have made him and others feel that way.

I have been asked by some who have left and others who would never join why I 'waste' my time over here. It is simple when my wife had her near fatal auto accident I wound up nearly home bound for a season a friend told me about FCF and then JY invited me to join. Thoise discussion were out the ceiling with brilliant though diverse minds. We fussed over everything. I came on very pointed(some was for shock I admit) but we had fun. Since the changing many who were posters from both sides no longer or very seldom post. But some of us have fussed for years now until we are all very predictable. But honestly I like those folks on here and have prayed for them. I have lunched with CC1 & Pianoman they are gentlemen and I personally like them. We agree on very little. Adino who I tease as being a Lutheran(although I am afraid it might be more truth than error) came to hear me in MI. I nearly had my head taken off for eating with AB who I worry about. Then those I have not met personally I also enjoy the fuss. However if I have become to obsolete for the forum I will leave relutantly but I will comply.

What I highlighted in Red is something this crew just doesn't get.
I think we were all fresh to the forums back then but as new as it
was, the opposing sides seemds to gel together better this this set.
I don't know exactly why that is but many have pointed out that
it's a respect factor.

This place wouldn't be the same without you. Don't let Rico or anyone else tell you any different!

Steve, you would be greatly missed if you leave. I believe you are a man of character and a sincere man of God. I certainly believe God is going to rescue many more sinners than you do, but I have come to appreciate you very much.

I've felt unwelcome from the very start, I'm conservative and have stated that from the beginning.

I don't enjoy Inane Babblings when it comes to salvation through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and what it takes to be saved and the Doctrine in which we live by, and there is to much of that going on on this forum Sometimes I feel as though it is dangerous, and I should avoid coming here altogether. Just my opinion.

And no Bro. E, I think you need to stay.

I will have to add Amen to your thoughts.

Some will ask,"then why come back"...because we can.

I return to keep up with a few friends, and I do enjoy reading posts by Sis Falla, Bro Epley, PO, Sis Alvear, St Matthew, and St Mark.
