Can anybody provide how I would cite this website for a paper in APA style. As well as the intext citation. Should I cite the author as Admin or use a real name (if he is ok with this. His name is on this cite in a few places, so im just making sure its ok)

 

Thanks

As far as citing goes I'm pretty sure you can't cite things from the forum. And blogs are sort of a grey area when it comes to academic papers.

What is the topic of your thesis?

[Intern]

This is just a basic overview of the church as well as my personal encounter. This paper is in the form of a meta-analysis (discussion of all current literature.) my thesis will be: The World Mission Society Church of God has come under critisism from various sources (e.g this cite, Hassan) as well as many former members.  subsequent analysis will focus on scriptural analysis as well as both sides of the argument of whether the WMSCOG can be classified as a 'cult'. furthermore analysis will focus on how the WMSCOG influences people's lives and if their involvment with the church subjects members to any "physical, financial, verbal or sexual abuse" (citation) 

from this website I wont be citing the forum, but the articles from the homepage. This is merly a paper for class and I will not cite any personal communication with any of the members here.

We're paranoid like that 😛

You can never be too careful.
