I am sick and tired of the nasty spirits here!

And this is the first thread that I clicked on after a month of being gone!

I have been around AFF from just about the beginning.

It ain't what it used to be.

It is now nothing but a den of vipers that breeds hatefulness and nurtures horrible spirits.

Maybe someone should change the name to Apostate Friends Forum!!!!

Your "edification" is greatly appreciated!

I dunno - you want to hear a layman's point of view?

When I was "in church", one thing that always bothered me seriously was how the ministers seemed to feel like they needed to have their own little exclusive club that you couldn't belong to unless you were a minister. They couldn't fellowship with us little people. There were things we couldn't know (as if they had a secret society of something). By the way, since leaving the UPC over 20 years ago, I have attended a Methodist church and now an Alliance Church. That attitude is not held in either of those organizations, just fyi.

So now here we are on the forum. For a while it was ok for the ministers to fellowship with us. But somehow somebody's buddy found out that they were hanging out with us little people. And now the pressure's on. So they've broken away and formed their own little exclusive group where you can't get in unless you are a minister or minister's wife.

See - nothing new under the sun

By the way, I realize that this doesn't apply to all of you ministers on here. And I APPRECIATE that!! Thank you for staying with us. We need your wisdom and your input. Just like the ministry can also learn from listening to the lay people.

If this post is totally inappropriate, admin, please feel free to delete it quickly before it can do any harm.

I mean why do we need 18 pages to basically tear down one man who just goddbye for good?

I mean, He was an owner.

Why can't he say goodbye without everyone tearing him down.

Sickening.

Those 18 pages also included a lot of heartfelt messages from many who appreciated him.

It's nice to see someone stick up for family.

But you just made me throw up in my mouth.

You went lower than even the backsliders who post here.

Time for a forum break pal - you're taking this online stuff way too seriously.

Coming onto the forum to call all the members here vipers & apostates isn't showing a very good spirit either, Brother.
