Suspicious? LOL! I guess so! I hope no one reads stuff on here and makes real life decisions based on the that alone.
Enter Dr Vaughn.
With all due respect, the "word" of any (and especially anonymous) internet posters is not like a notarized or other sworn statement. I would caution anyone against taking what is read here at face value.
Debate, discuss, minister as you please but none should expect to be taken too seriously here if they are anonymous. That's just part of the territory.

His/her "Word" is good enough for me. Now if he/she asks for a thousand dollars to start a Mona Vie business with, that's another story.
But thanks for your advice. Here all this time I've been making ALL my major life decisions based on discussions I've had here on AFF. I'm so glad you told me that!

Sarcasm, of course, but, not what I said. Just that it's healthy to be suspicious in on-line relationship and interactions period.
Whether someone is asking for money, sex, time or is otherwise seeking to "effect" your thinking or theology it is good to keep things in perspective. What one reads here should never be placed on equal value with parents, elders or spiritual mentors you know and love.
Motive and intent are easily disguised from behind a keyboard. It has happened more than once, right here on AFF.

Who is Dr Vaugn? I guess I am supposed to recognize the name and understand the reference but I do not.

Sorry, I guess I assumed you knew being a lurker before posting and all. He was a scam artist that posed as a highly educated minister of the gospel. He feigned a serious illness etc. and was soon thereafter busted on criminal charges. I for one was totally snookered.
Say! You might just be him!  He is likely due out on parole.

He also starred in "The Man from Uncle".

I kinda liked Dr. Vaughn.
I didn't agree with some of the stuff he posted about Branhamism.
Just today I had lunch with someone before we made a trip over to a hospital in Northern Kentucky to pray for someone in the Psyche Ward there. The person I had lunch with had a book with him about William Branham and wanted to ask me something about it. It was volume 5 of a 6 volume series on William Branham. He had read the first 4 volumes and is currently reading volume 5 and was really impressed with the man. I told him I believed William Branham was a genuine prophet of God and was genuinely gifted of God but had some strange beliefs that I couldn't agree with.

Psych ward. Ugh. Brings back some really bad memories of being locked up in them.
Hey Sam, since this thread is seriously derailed for the moment, I have a question for you. You mention visiting someone in the ward. I am going to assume that perhaps you have done this more than once in your ministry (I realize that visiting a psych ward and ministering in one does not make you an expert by any means). Just curious if you think people end up there more often because of imbalances in their brain chemistry and/or emotional distress or because of spirits and demonic posession?

Yeah, but did he ever give his word? 
I've never heard about this.
