I am far from perfect.

I have a dry, irreverent sence of humor that some people love and some people don't get.

I have a head knowledge and a memory of all the things that apostolic's believe, and yet I am in many ways so far removed from it, that my posts sometimes take on a tone of incredulousness. (Which can be misconstrued as attitude)

But mostly I am conflicted, not in what I believe, but in how to express it in such a way that it is given any fair consideration at all.

And so I respond in the only way I know how....I make a joke or say something sarcastic. It's that whole defense mechanism thing.

Reading between the lines what my post ACTUALLY said was "I don't believe homosexuality to be a sin. But I am afraid that once I say that, not only will you not listen to me, but you will all consider me to be below your notice, and to have no value as a poster on this forum, as a Christian, or even as a human being..."

There. Now you had a little insight into the scary mind of Michlow. (That is if you even read this ). So next time you see me write a post filled with "attitude", you can just think to youself "Poor Mich. It must be so hard for her to stand up for her opinions, knowing that people think she is obnoxious, ridiculous, and clueless"
It's not your sense of humor. That's not an "attitude" unless your use of sense of humor is more of an aggressive passive behavior

Your opinions? We all have them and express them. The problem though is why maybe some ignore you is because they know if they try to engage you IN your opinions they usually get no where.

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:


  1. There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
  2. The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
  3. Every sinner must repent of their sins.
  4. That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
