No, he was at Specials. Graham attends fellowship meetings, Special meetings and convention. He does not attend his local gospel meetings any more. Your cousin did not see him in those gospel meetings unless it was over two years ago.

Oh dear, open your eyes, remove the scales. All will be revealed one day and maybe your mate Graham has feet of clay just like we all do. Finding one's partner in life is not revelation of some flaw or weakness in personality, even in those called into ministry. As far as the TMB community is concerned, Graham is still fulfilling his role in the ministry that God has called him to. If God calls a believer into a certain role in ministry (and indeed all believers have their role in ministry), then it is only God who they are answerable to. Graham is a much loved and supported fellow believer and brother to us on TMB, as are others who contribute or read here. admin

Sometimes I agree with what you post, some times I disagree with what you post. I express my disappointment and concern that you; one individual poster claim to be speaking on behalf of the TMB community. Imagine if any other individual poster made such a post!!!!!! It would be like you speaking on behalf of the ministry, Review.

What I find hard to stomach is the do as I say not as I do attitude.

Online forums such as this one are a vehicle for free expression of views, opinions and perspectives. That of course within the rules of the forum of course. We appreciate your diligence and insistence in ensuring that they be followed! Under repressive regimes an authority figure makes a statement and those that 'value their life' 'bow' in agreement and assent to it. TMB of course is not such. There is great diversity of views, opinions and perspectives on this forum; we value that. I find it rather audacious and concerning that you would consider it appropriate to speak on behalf of the diverse TMB community! I make it clear that I am NOT referring to this particular instance and subject. Rather the principle of you as Admin speaking on behalf of the diverse TMB community. Most certainly you can express your personal feelings, views and opinions as an individual; just as any poster can. But to claim to speak on the behalf of the diverse TMB community is an action contrary to the principles of the forum. One need only look at any thread and they can see there is mostly never agreement on any issue! But you post 'on behalf of the TMB community!!! Sometimes I agree with what you post, some times I disagree with what you post. I express my disappointment and concern that you; one individual poster claim to be speaking on behalf of the TMB community. Imagine if any other individual poster made such a post!!!!!! The TMB Community appreciates the considerable and largely successful efforts of Admin which keep this forum available to us all, and of interest to many.

Hi Curly, I didn't understand the substance of your meaning, that would certainly indicate feet of clay which as you suggest, is common to us all. admin

Thanks @review005, your opinion is noted. Regard it as an editorial. TMB is an independent forum, and all are welcome to come here and post within the rules. We have a mix of believers and non-believers, and I certainly cannot represent or speak for the views of atheists. But all are respected and valued here. If we cannot have one voice for believers, it is largely because there is way too much antagonism and point scoring between those in our fellowship and our ex-brethren. It would be nice if all could interact and even discuss differences more civilly (both sides), but that may take away the fun. In any case, I feel we believers can encourage a principled man like Graham in our mutual faith, admin
