Recently the Trike Troll, a frequent poster on the NACBoard (a forum for discussion about the New Apostolic Church), was issued an \"Off Limits\" decree by the New Apostolic Church for allegedly threatening a minister during an unscheduled discussion held after the service in a congregation in Canada to which this minister doesn\'t even belong.
No authorities were called to the scene and no police reports were taken at the time this incident allegedly occurred. Additionally, the New Apostolic Church has procedures in place for reconciling such situations, but for some strange reason they chose not to employ those procedures, opting for an \"Off Limits\" ban instead.
We would like to see the New Apostolic Church (Canada) address this issue openly and honestly, and allow Trike to continue attending church with his wife. We would also call on the Church to actually try using their much-ballyhooed policy regarding \"Conflict Resolution\", in order to resolve this situation in accordance with their professed belief in the Bible and its passages dealing with conflict resolution.
Please sign the petition. We will forward it to the cognizant New Apostolic representatives when the time for the petition drive is over.
The silence from the church leadership is heavy but I am still working behind the scenes to get them to acknowledge these broken processes. My resolve is worn thin by this lack of transparency yet I refuse to walk away while a member is being barred from his own place of worship.

If there was no police report then this is just gossip. Let him back in.

This is ridiculous. The church is supposed to be a place of forgiveness and open doors. Let the man worship with his wife.

Unbelievable. They preach one thing and do the complete opposite. Treat him with some actual respect and follow your own rules.

Total overreaction. Where is the conflict resolution they talk about? Seems like they just want to silence him.
