Does that sound like cult activity to you?

Oh well, I'm probably just paronoid.

Just this past week, one of my best friends on AFF sent one of my sons a friendship request on a social network. My friend did this innocently.

But I have taught my kids to never chat online with adults they are not related to. My son (15) came and told me about the request. I told him he could not accept it.

It's not that I was worried about something bad happening with my friend toward my son.


I was.showing my son a principle. Internet communication can be harmful.

This seems especially true with Everyone's Apostolic.

Keep in mind, Bro., I do not use pm's to talk with anyone at EA, especially with people I do not know. Most of the messages I have received there have been deleted without even reading them, unless it is someone I know. I use the sight to keep in touch with friends, some great distances away. If you look at my page, the extent of my conversations is in my comments area, with one or two exceptions.

However, though I don't know the fulness of your experience, I think I understand your original intent on this thread, and agree. It did take a twist, didn't it?

Honestly I think your primary concern should be something all of us should think about everywhere.

I try to post NOTHING here that would reflect negatively about certain things.. (that is as clear as I intende to be)

I promise to be quite vague...

but your initial post, is a warning on AFF, EA, or anywhere else more than 1 person congregates....

Impossible for me to take personal offense, since I haven't been making those arguments. Simply asking a question.

I'm still not sure why parents wouldn't monitor ALL of thier childs activities.
