For me I go back to the first original forum. To be honest it has been my favorite because it was what I was looking for; Bible study interaction. The newer forums don't offer the dept of discussion we had there. One reason is most of those posters have left to go to a ministers only forum.

Second the same subject keep coming up and some of the older posters just are tired of discussing the same subjects, here I need to remind US, me included to be more patient and let them ask their questions.

Third reason I have found and appreciate is updates of what is happening around the different churches. I have found pastors today tend to keep everything to them selves.

Discussion on conferences I am not able to attend. It's a good way to keep updated.

I have met some really nice people here and truly miss a lot of my favorites that have left.

I love and have learned politics from PO and Deacon Blues.

The food section used to more lively than it is now. But everything ebbs and flows.

I dont have as much time as I used to here but still enjoy interacting with cyber friends.

I expected to find new friends.... and I have, plenty of them.

I came looking for fellowship... for inspiration... for encouragement. And, I found more than I ever expected.

I expected to be challenged in my thinking, to be shown my error, and to learn more about the Word of God. And, I'm thankful to say AFF has met my expectations... and then some.

I expected to find diverse veiws... things I don't necessarily agree with.... and I appreciate this as it has strengthen my own veiws, and has helped me to learn to disagree without being a jerk about it.


I expected AFF to be exactly like, well, like a box of chocolates. You never know what ya gonna get.

Man, that would make a great line in a movie.
