FSAOF membership qualifications; Update 2012-1/1/2015

This secluded meeting place has been especially created for all former SA officers. A “former officer” refers to any person who entered TSA training college as a cadet, envoys and commissioned officers whom resign their status for any reason. If a ‘former’ returns to substantive rank and office they will be given the option to remain in our fellowship. However, to qualify for membership all persons are required to seek acceptance while absent from SA officership. No active officers will be accepted regardless of their officership history.

Separated for various reasons some former officers come to this group wounded by the actions or words of leaders or colleagues, others moved out of TSA to follow God’s leading to share the gospel of Jesus elsewhere, still others have been so devastated by the hurt they experience as officers that they have become disillusioned with the church and with God. Many former officers are angry due to the lack of pastoral care exhibited by TSA leaders, especially upon departure, by the organization to which they had committed their lives. And for many we are simply a place to fellowship with folks sharing a common experience with other former SA officers. Irrespective of how or why you left the Salvation Army’s unique place of service, you will receive a warm welcome here.

We encourage discussion and want to remind everyone that sensitive and private comments are commonly shared; therefore, we ask that nothing revealed in our FSAOF be shared with non-members. In the five years that we have been active our integrity has never been jeopardized, which speaks highly of our fellowship. Please help us ensure that this record of integrity and mutual respect remains unbroken.

At this FSAOF face book page, the moderator, along with designated associate administrators, have full authority to post, moderate and maintain this FB fellowship page.
