 Actscelerate Useless |
Charlie Earl |
This forum actually was helpful and cathartic for COG ministers. It is really become useless.
Folks like OTCP have made this site a joke. He posts so many ridiculous things that its filled with nonsense.
I check in time to time -- and looking at tonight --- OTCP just filled with goofy remarks and observations, etc. It dominates site.
Ok -- was a helpful place at one time. Hopefully someone might launch something new sometime. |

That was a horrible and untruthful thing to say about OTCP.

| I disagree. But, if you feel that strongly... there's a door somewhere around here... I'm sure you can find it. |

CE you must have briars in your feed sack tonight. Acts is and has been useful to ministers who need to unload, ask for help, or just relax under a pen name.
You must have needed to unload. i hope you feel better my friend. It is an open site and used for many reasons. It is not always informative, but there are times it is to me.
Take care and drop back by if you need to unload. Shucks OTCP has taken shots before. There is not a requirement to open any of his posts.

| The Positive Side of Actscelerate |
Preacher777 |
We all know that certain posters can rub us the wrong way. Once in a while I open the post and usually my frustration is confirmed. Rather than get upset I take the positive approach and see it as God strengthening me and giving me practice to deal with that aggravating person who may show up now and then at church or other Christian activities. I tell myself, if David took on the bear and lion before Goliath I can walk in love the this "screen name poster" and then who is this problem guy or Jezebel in light of what God called me to do in the ministry? Why not use the most aggravating posts as a way to practice the love walk?
I do my best to focus on the many sincere people who are on here asking questions or offering advice and their knowledge/expertise. Consider all of the caring people who take time to encourage a struggling man or woman. If I focused on one or two problem people who may show up at church rather than the many wonderful people there I would be a depressed pastor! |

Tom is right.
The season has come and gone.
10 years ago - this was the place.
But, outside of death notices - (for COG pastors that do not have a Cleveland connection - which would not otherwise be known outside of this site) and
OTCP doctorate inspections (which need to be exposed)
what has happened of value here in the last month?

Well, I haven't (yet) beat up on the original poster, but I really do wonder why a person who thinks the forum is dead or useless shows up to say that. Why? What purpose does that possibly serve?
At the risk of making Ole Timer think I'm validating him, I just want to say he is one of my favorite posters, and I've learned a lot from him. To me he has a solid handle on Biblical exegesis that I would like to see in a more of our ministers. He is also even tempered when attacked. That's a rare quality (and maybe it's easier to be even tempered when one is a parody, but it's notable to me anyway).
I should also at some point make note that Actscelerate is where I struck up an online friendship with Cojak. Cojak and Mrs. Cojak have been a great source of encouragement and prayers in some difficult times for me. I have relied on Cojak for advice and optimism in all kinds of situations from things as mundane as house repairs to things as sticky as people issues. He's always been gracious and nonjudgmental. (And if I want to bounce off a theory about Russian spying or what happened to a plane that disappeared, he's the guy I can go to for a common sense answer.)

I have nothing against OTCP - he or she does what they do in the whole parody thing. Go for it... Doyle has defended it and invites it - and objectively, if OTCP didn't post the forum would be all but dead. |

No doubt - I made friends here that are very valuable to me, as well.
I am sad that it is near the end...but I sense that it is.

The value is directly proportional to our post , our attitude and our responses. both negative and positive. We are responsible for quality of this site. |

| Bonnie said some nice things |
Cojak |
And I can truthfully return the compliments. As a lay person she had given some very good input here, showing that we lay folk still live.
Let me say about the death of an entity. Yes everything and everyone of us will come to the end. Some will leave in an instant other will die the slow death. I attend some wonderful churches as I visit around in our travels. Some I know are dying, jobs have left the area and there are no young folk to carry the local torch, BUT DURING THAT TIME, IF IT IS DYING THEY DESERVE A DEDICATED PASTOR AND CHURCH in which TO WORSHIP.
So I will be around, until I am way over the hill or Doyle turns off the lights. Now today for instance, JLarry gave me a belly laugh on this forum. Bonnie put on a link I had never read. I learned a couple things I otherwise would not have known about non-profits and lots of stuff with which I agree.
I am not prophet, maybe Actscelerate is not what it was, but I like the format. I tried the COG spot for awhile, where laymen and pastors can talk. But here? I feel more at home.Sorry for the length. 
BUT then I love '34 fords and '55Chevys!
