(Seems a bit interesting that he refers to this as a "developing migration" away from that which is/was. The evidence seems to show otherwise. The offical UPC organ used to not only send up kites to show tolerance but actually had written statements of tolerance.)
"Social network pages are filled with self-loathing Pentecostal young people and self-anointed self defined cool preachers who will mock those who attempt to call attention to blurring lines between righteousness and worldliness".
Perspectives Magazine Vol 20 number 5
Question: What are those Apostolic Pentecostal social networking sites he has in mind?
He makes reference to some terms these mockers use - terms I have not seen used on AFF. Like "holy hags", "bun ladies", and Pentehostile".

The Apostolic Movement is MOVING! Why??? I saw this coming many years ago when the Internet was in its infancy stage. This highway of information and communication has become a THREAT to past attempts to manipulate people in every area of our lives.
Think about it. One of the main platforms and uses for the Internet in the early 90’s was for doctors and medicine. This "Tool" helped physicians to get answers to a bad diagnosis, NOW! No more presuming, so to speak. Find out what the problem is and treat it with the right prognosis and medicine. We can walk into our Clinics today more informed than our doctors, helping us to “cut to the chase”, getting better sooner, rather than later.
Knowledge does this to ALL things, including Religion. Keeping people in the dark has been one way to keep entire Nations under control, while also allowing Big Corporations to make a mint off of the poor an unlearned. You can go to your mechanic before he fixes your car with enough information to keep him honest. Years ago, you would be at the mercy of his advice. Today, just google your problem, and if you’re willing to do a little research you can uncover the mystery, saving yourself hundreds, if not thousands of dollars.
Look at China. They do everything they can to regulate this "Info Highway", but the more the people of China become informed, the less that Country can persuade them to follow past lies and doctrines of evil.
All Religions are undergoing the rigorous test of people becoming educated. And when they do, look out!!
Fear, Hoovie, is why you are seeing these types of articles. Fear is always the Byproduct when the covers are rolled back and the Truth is known. And, when Fear instigates the motive, don’t be surprised to see fingers pointed in the wrong direction and people burning at the stake.
