At least that's MY memory, others may disagree.
It just seemed that it was easier to speak your mind without fear of personal attack, or never ending repercussion.
I remember getting into some heated debated with Benincasa, and you would have thought we were going to kill each other. But, a few days later, we would be agreeing with each other, and our past disagreement was never mentioned again.
I miss those days...........

I will admit to being somewhat in shock when I first discovered FCF. Up to that point, my only experience with internet apostolic discussion had been GNC, a much more restricted environment. I was so surprised to find out that there were so many different viewpoints among apostolics concerning issues such as pastoral authority, clothing, jewelry, baptism, speaking in tongues, salvation; the list goes on and on. I was naive enough, up to then, to believe we all pretty much believed everything the same and our differences were only minor, like sleeve length or music. Talk about getting my eyes opened!
FCF opened the door for me to realize that God's Church is so much bigger than I had thought. Because of all these differing viewpoints, I felt I finally had a venue through which I could express my own differences with the things I had been taught in apostolic churches. I give Brother Yohe the credit for establishing the foundation that opened that door for me. I don't plan on ever walking back through that door to go back to what I was either.
Well, I have done enough rambling!
