Key talking points:

1-


The bolded statement seems to suggest that he thinks some discussion is being censored or suppressed...considering he was an inside man, his words seem to carry further weight.

I addressed this, Firestarter. MOW felt that AFF's statement of Faith would stiffle freedom to post. It will only to those who tear down Apostolic doctrine as defined in the statement.

A tension that he seems to think may be due to outside forces or pressure...

Again, MOW felt that the statement was some Affirmation Statement. It was NOT. I am NOT UPC, and I wrote it after having considered ALL of our posters beliefs. It does not even exclude trinitarians from posting, as Sola is still here. What it DOES do is give what the limits are as far as discussing whether Oneness or Jesus name baptism is error.

This further suggests his view that there is some censorship going on that does not give room to arguably 'fair game' topics.

Confirmation for my comment on item #2 above.

I met Bro Epley last weekend and shared a few moments of fellowship with him. I will be looking to meet up with CC1 and Pianoman for lunch in the near future. Show me where the 2 cannot exist. We do it every day here. It is happening right now with me and you. This was only MOWs opinion

What truth is stiffled. Is everyone upset that we didn't make a big announcement that MOW had left. I, along with the admin team, was hoping he would come back. Why announce it?

These are the key talking points of MOW's post and decision for stepping away.
