This is an UNOFFICIAL link site and message board for english speaking “open” discussions on the New Apostolic Church (NAC). We want this to be a neutral site for all opinions and hope that all participants recognize and respect opposing view points and are above profanity.

Unlike the official site, where everything is in oneness, over here various participants have strong opinions which may not agree with the official NAC party line, be warned. Open discussion means “within the confines of any rules that the Founder and Admins have deemed necessary to promote the stated purpose of this board”.

Thank you

Dancing Apostles!

"I refuse to support the NAC financially. It's just that simple. I've given a great deal of money over the many years, and the blessings I saw for my offerings were not blessings upon me or my family. So, when it became apparent that financial transparency was never going to happen, when I became aware of exactly where every dollar went that was put into the offering box, when I became aware that select congregations were renovated multiple times for God only knows the reason while the congregations I and others attended remained stuck in the doo wop age, the disco age, the big hair era... I basically said enough of this."

Only Sunday services, no NAC logo, no black and white in the pics, hmmmm. Could be like a Silkstone thing.

Posts: 977 04/09/2011 21:30 NAC Inspector	Is it possible this is a former NAC congregation that has gone off on its own? That would explain the lack of NAC references and the fact it is not listed on the NAC congregation list.

Posts: 977 04/09/2011 21:48 NAC Inspector	Not sure what it means, but when you Google New Braunfels, TX and the word compass, there are several local business with the word compass in the name. I am not sure but compass may have an additional local meaning.

Posts: 59 04/11/2011 07:59	Wow. Maybe the church is trying to establish a new church, which is free from all the NAC baggage. From the new apostolic's I still talk to, none had any idea this was happening Why the secrecy?

Posts: 30 04/11/2011 08:45	Are they setting up a false front to try to fool people into thinking that they are attending a nice benign modern non-denominational church? At what point do they get hit with Apostle 'Doctrine' and exclusivity? Is Kolb planning a Schism in the US?

Posts: 6590 04/11/2011 09:58 Ne'er-do-well	No way the NAC would be behind this. There's no insistence that apostles are necessary for (this phase of) salvation, or that forgiveness of sins is bound to the apostle ministry. The minister in charge may be a former NAC, but he's got his own thing going, I'm sure. <--- \| http://newapostasy.blogspot.com \| \| Magical rune/tarot: The Blasted Tower \| --->

Posts: 9345 04/11/2011 10:03 NAC Thorn in the Side	As Trike previously mentioned, this could be an effort on par with the Silkstone experiment in Australia. It is a New Apostolic Church, but the name has no association with it (Silkstone). They have a praise band, and have a REALLY neat focus on directing their energy toward helping and serving the homeless. They even have a section in the church set aside with clothing/food, etc. for the homeless. So, maybe this is an attempt to try something similar without being under the radar as tweaks are made along the way?
