Every denomination has felt the pain of its problems... but that's only because there are human beings involved... but we as a family, as children of God, and as a denomination have grown through those decisions...
 
It took human beings to hear God at Azuza street and form this assembly, it took others to start a *revolt with the "revalation" .... "in Jesus Name"... then there are the Jim Bakkers, Jimmy Swaggarts, Jim Jones, Gene Scotts and Marvin Gormans of the A/G's past...
 
It is on us to pray, seek God and do his will.... as we have personally been so called.  Spreading the Gospel and Boycotts at times can seem contradictory, but as Christians, we must draw the line somewhere...  preferably on the side of purity.
 
In truth, we're prejudiced... Bibically.  Sin is Sin and we are to HATE sin....  but love the Sinner.
 
We don't have to condone the actions of Sinners to accept them and preach the gospel message of love.
 
If "you" (collectively speaking) are called to be a witness to some particular group of , be-it Mormon, Homosexual, Occultists, etc... then do what God has told you to do.  The rest, who are no so called should FLEE from the very presence .... keeping themselves distanced lest they fall into temptation themselves.... THAT's what the Bible says...
 
IMHO...

Subject: [RR] The Disney Boycott

All,
About two years ago, the AofG put a boycott on Disney.
I've been thinking about this recently and this what I've
came to.
By boycotting Disney, it only shows the Assemblies is  prejudice towards gays/lebisons. We're prejudice, because we run from the problem instead of wittnessing to them.
How will they know the TRUTH, if we don't wittness to that crowd?
The problem isn't Disney. The probelm is gays and lebisons
As in Clue: Prove me wrong.
 
Later,
