Re: How wide is the effect of forums in Pentecost?
I'm not a celebrity or big name,so my forum activity hasn't effected me too much.
But sometimes on a forum,someone might post something that may spur someone to consider a diferent angle on a scripture,sometimes in trying to prove someone wrong,one finds out they don't know their stuff on their slant as good as they thought they did.

I think everybody is just a big bunch of drama queens.

Re: How wide is the effect of forums in Pentecost?
That's my take on the whole matter. I just chose to plop it into this one thread, cause there's only like 57 threads that that would be my response to. lol

Re: How wide is the effect of forums in Pentecost?
They can blame it on forums but it's just a different world we live in. People in general are allowed to question in this our modern age.
We have talk radio ; the vast amount of knowledge on the web; various rulings on information that is available to the public and of course the prolific postings on various forums.
In the 50's & 60's there was a different concept of authority. What was uttered from a school teacher, police officer, political position, or pastor was generally accepted as LAW.
When I was pregnant with my first child(70) the doctor gave a quick check, said a couple words and left. No input from the patient actually permitted.
By the time I was having the third child, a mere 4 1/2 years later the trend was already changing....Now the dr sat down and talked to me; asked if I had ?'s----I was shocked. I counted as a person!
Some of this is due to training but I believe people became more demanding of their "rights".
Because the ministry had absolute authority in the 50's or 60's many are surprised when actions are questioned today. Don't blame it on forums, although they are a great source of information (lol).
We as Americans have taken more control of our lives and less acceptance of .....because I said so!
And this applies to churches not just politics or education or medical decisions.
Yes, we should respect the office of a pastor but most people today are less inclined to equate a pastor with the same power as the pope.

Granted I searched out forums while trying to develop my beliefs, or figure out what they are, or something. But much of who I am right now and what I believe and live has been shaped by people here and at GNC.
