Thank you for the nice welcome. I have been meaning to come by here for sometime, but haven't had the chance till tonight. I will give you the short version about who I am.
My name is John Butero. I got saved when I was 17, which was back in 1982. I was called to preach when I was 18. I heard an audible voice say, "Preach the Word." That happened while I was reading the Bible, but at the time, I didn't realize that was a scripture in Timothy. I got married when I was 20 to a woman named Paula that I met in church. I have been involved in many different ministries over the years. I have worked in gospel radio, at a Teen Challenge Center, and have served as Pastor of two churches, one independent church and the other a Pentecostal Holiness Church. I was a member of one of the large message boards from 2004 till December of last year. There was constant fighting taking place, and good people that happened to disagree with OSAS were being kicked out or placed on moderator review, even though they claimed that you didn't have to believe that doctrine to be a member. One of the members their that went by Friend of The Lord asked me if I would be interested in starting a new message board where we could fellowship without the fighting, and where we could provide a place for some of those who were mistreated at the other message board. I felt like the Lord was in it, so I started Narrow Way Forums a year ago last April. At that time, I didn't realize I would be a victim of the cleansing at that large message board and be forced out, but I guess that was God's will too. Nothing happens by accident. That is the short version.

Lord bless you for sharing your testimony of how God has been using you over the last many years. I agree that God does allow things to happen such as the behaviour on the board that you have described to enhance His glory and His purpose- Romans 8:28 (KJV) reminds us of that...
I believe that God will continue to use you as well. I never know what forum I am led too but I know that it is never a random decision rather a direction by God to continue to share His wonderful word to all nations..
John, If there are any post here that you take a liking too here, please do cross post them over brother.
