A Wrecked Church!

So you contradict yourself when you use statements like "a little Christian charity and common sense" when you are blatantly dishonest and clearly dont know what you are talking about. In fact there were a set of by-laws, that were destroyed, that did set forth a plan of succession. And in fact, the reason people keep posting is because things still keep happening.
I see that the ones that are complaining so much about the thread and what is said are a) not involved in this situation so they have nothing at stake b) have derrogatory signature/tag lines on their posts toward Apostolics. This forum is called Apostolic Friends Forum not Pentecostal Friends Forum... there is a difference you know.
This is not gossip, slander or name calling it is simply the events that have happened. And if you are "so embarrassed" then simply don't read it. But this thread needs to be about the truth and the truth needs to be told.

So, who's "truth" do we believe? Yours?

At least I know what I am talking about. Can you say the same? And if this thread offends you so greatly then just bug out!

Funny, your buddies on the other side of the fence say the same thing.

So, what good do you think could possibly come from this thread?

And by the way, your attitude sucks.

Apostolics don't talk that way. But we do tell the truth. Is that what you are offended by? I think you just showed your "true colors". Maybe that is why you are no longer an administrator.

This is the thread that doesn't end. Yes, it goes on and on my friend. Some people started typing it not knowing what it was, And they'll continue typing it forever just because...

I just told the truth. Sorry that it offended you.

You go ahead and propogate your perception of "truth" and do it angrily, and keep hoping and wishing that somehow your venemous spewing here actually does some good in the real world. Keep dreaming.....

Your language offends me. I have not spoken angrily or with venom but I am curious as to why you fight this thread so badly. This thread was created to help people that could not help themselves and to give a voice to those that were wronged. What do you have against that?

Ok, let's step back for a minute:

1.) Notice that I said your attitude sucks, I didn't say anything about you personally.

2.) The reason I said that is because you accused another poster of being blatantly dishonest when all they were doing was stating a hypothetical situation, and you are claiming to be the sole speaker of "Truth" on this thread, and anyone else (especially those who disagree) are clueless morons.

3.) You made some comment about this not being a "Pentecostal" friends forum, but an "Apostolic" friends forum, and then you made some snide remarks about our signature lines, inferring that we shouldn't even be allowed to participate.

4.) Then, when I ask a simple question like "Who's truth to believe" you won't respond in a civil tone, but instead you make another snide remark "At least I know what I"m talking about, can you say the same?"

So, yes, your attitude sucks, and I don't apologize for that statement.

Finally, I do care about this thread, because I don't want to see this forum turned into a gossip column, and this thread is the epitome of pure gossip. And you are one of the most vocal proponents.

This thread is not helping anyone, it's an affront to Biblical conflict resolution, and you are a happy participant. Therefore I post on it.

Believe the real truth. Use discernment. If you don't have that gift, find someone that does. Simple!
