Neither, can I log on.
Who knows, IMHO maybe they are up to something, or just be an innocent shut down of the site? |

In response to the OQ, I think the answer is YES ... in light of the 3ABN magazine banner changeback.

I don't know how much we can read into that, just look up the 3ABN.org and click on, "Magazine" then click on "June 07," wow what a picture! It sure looks like a done deal to me! I sure hope not, but...

I emailed AF opposing the merger. Surprise surprise, never heard a word back. Anyone else have that sort of response?

Richard ha, I had the same reponse at first. Thinking they did not see my little humble email so I sent around a 100 of them and finally they got back to me with a "form email letter," from Bonnie Ensminger -- db sec., thanking me for my words of "encouragement." Nothing was further from the truth, I was PROTESTING the merger. I think they put all of us who opposes it on their "delete button," but could be mistaken, We just might get a better response if we wrote to the AF board members. Do anyone has their email address?

Thank you so much, steffan for being so astute to have come up with that one,

Nice response. Expected. BTW why do you think I said I was from BSDA? Might that not be a false assumption on your part? Yes it was. I simply sent them an email expressing my concern as a SDA, not a BSDA.

"News Release From Amazing Facts---4-25-07".... for previous correspondence with him that has been posted to BSDA. |

I am sure it is much better to write to the Amazing facts Chairman of the Board but when I posted "it is better to call"....I was referring to my own experience with a phone call I made to Amazing Facts.  I did get quite a bit of information readily given to me by the person who I was forwarded to. I nicely expressed my concerns and she shared much information with me. It was helpful to complete at least some of the "rest of the story". I would encourage anyone to try the same approach.

One of my fellow church members came to me quite concerned re 3ABN. His sister, who is a strong supporter of 3ABN, had just been at the campmeeting in Illinois. She was asking for prayers and donations for ABN, as they were told (during the times off the air for viewers) that donations were down about 50%, and also that the merger with AF was off. But it must not be a matter that they are ready to report yet to the general public. Just curious. Joyce |
