Bad Rumor

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

I haven't heard anything about it either...of course, how should I?...but as
for me all I can say is that I am grateful for those that are on the
internet, because they have made me to realize that I am not alone. I
realize that there is a lot of garbage on the internet, but things like,
Apostolic homepages, mailing-lists and IRC are a huge blessing to those that
are not so lucky as to live in the US with an Apostolic church at
practically every street corner. I hope that there won't be any resolution
like that and that before people pass anything like it they will learn about
it and about the good it does do and weigh it against the garbage that is on
the internet. Surely the good will outweigh the bad. Doris=20
