I do believe that has been the change in the forum. Attitudes from both sides leave a lot to be desired lately!

Seems Jan/Feb is an annual self-purging time on forums - what's up with that?

Re: JP Don't Forget

I believe that five or six years ago, Apostolics were new to open discussion on forums and the different segments were more tolerant and enjoyed the banter back and forth.

Over time, the conservative segment became less tolerant of questioning of things they hold dear. After hearing the same arguments over and over and over again, they retreated back to just surrounding themselves with folks of like faith (standards).

I have found it nearly impossible to get an Ultra-Con to communicate as if we are all on equal spiritual footing. (Sis. Alvear and a few others are the exception) They simply feel that they are spiritually superior.

Jimmy Yohe himself couldn't have prevented the natural separation of the differing segments of the Apostolic faith. It appears that the dream has almost died!
