before i came here i was involved with another program that deals with addictions...specifically the alcohol. and you know...i found the same thing there...i could never measure up to most everyone i met. i was always lacking. i would leave those meetings before they ended most of the time...they would talk of love and tolerance but that's really all it was....just talk unless you were in the click. then everything was aok. like i said...i'm not much of a clickish type person...maybe i am and don't even know it...
you know, if it was something i said that offended someone...i would wish they would of just told me...then we could of sorted that out...i guess...with how the chat works....it could simply be easier not to say anything and sort of let it just ride...that's pretty much what i've done in my personal life...just let it ride.
at this moment i really don't know if i'll be back...well yeahh i will later tongiht. i told someone that if they wanted to talk...i'd sure sit down with them and share a bit of what i've learned in the past couple months...concerning adddiction. oh well, i'm probably not the right person to do that but i'll be there as promised.
i read proverbs 10 and james 3 this morning...i had hoped to talk about what i read with someone earlier this morning on the chatroom, even the moderater of the room was too busy doing something else...looking back now...i wish i would of read something else...

By permission of Daniel Allen

From http://www.spurgeon.us/forums/index.php?a=topic&t=112

Commandment #1

Thou Shalt be Humble.

Upon this one commandment do most (if not all) the other commandments hang. Humility is the key to reaching out to others. If arrogance fuels your witnessing, people take note and very rarely desire to listen to more than two sentences from you. If you are struggling in this area, pray for help. God will listen.

Proverbs 29:23- A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.

Commandment #2

Thou Shalt Not Pick Fights.

Thou shalt not fight with thy neighbor, nor they neighbor's friends, nor thy website admins. This one should go without saying, but how often do we find Christians actually trading verbal blows with unbelievers and believers alike! What unChrist-like behavior to exhibit. If you feel the onset of AIMrage, step back and cool it. Go take a shower or have a run though the park. If it feels like people are being more unruly than normal, give the internet a rest for a day and come back to it. Doing nothing at all is better than ruining your Christian testimony online.

Proverbs 15:1- A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.

Commandment #3

Thou Shalt Listen.

Don't cometh crying to me when people don't want to hear you because you won't heareth them!! You want to make an impact right? Well so does everyone else online (well okay, maybe not everybody). But everyone at least wants to be heard or they wouldn't be online in the first place. Give them that respect and open your ears and mind to what they say. Many people are driven to the online world because of stress, depression and loneliness. Reach out to them and hear their cries of desperation. When you hear them out they will return the favor in kind.

Proverbs 1:5- A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels.

Commandment #4

Thou Shalt Use Thy Bible Search Engine With Great Fervor and Diligence!

How canst thou take on the forces of the Evil One without thy sword? The answer is YOU CAN'T!! The internet has one huge advantage that witnessing in real life will never even come close to comparing to- Bible search websites. Twenty years ago if you were witnessing to a person and they produced a difficult question you had no answer to it might take a week or longer before you could get back to them. Not anymore. Drop the question into Google and have your answer. Type some text into a Bible search engine (like Blueletterbible.org) and have a verse in 5 seconds. What an amazing tool! Don't waste it!

Hebrews 4:12- For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Commandment #5

Thou Shalt Avoid Chatroom Arguments

What? Know ye not that nothing is resolved by arguing in chat rooms? Think back for a moment. Was there ever a time you were in a chat room and were just hit with an amazing spiritual epiphany? No? Me neither. Why's that? Because there are 20 other people in there talking which distracts you and whoever you're talking to from getting the message. Chat rooms should primarily be used for one purpose in regards to witnessing- meeting people to talk to one on one. Which is the more ideal witnessing situation- on a loud, profane, crowded bus, or in the quiet of someone's living room? The same principle applies here. Leave the witnessing for instant message and watch your results change drastically.

Acts 8:31- And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.

Commandment #6

Thou Shalt Begin With the Gospel Always

Remember that it is not by thy strength thou doest what thou doest. The Holy Spirit is the person that does the work of bringing people to an understanding of the gospel of Jesus Christ. He's going to have a time of it if you're always butting in with different doctrines/beliefs/religious discussions. From the outset, your best bet is to present the word of God and see how it registers with the person. The Bible is the most powerful tool to use with unbelievers because it can say so much more than you or I can. It is the water of life, and people are thirsting. Keep the Romans Road and other great verses handy at all times (even memorize them if you can).

1 Corinthians 1:17- For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.

Commandment #7

Thou Shalt Not Ignore Questions

Wouldst thou like to be brushed off? In Commandment #6 we realized that our first approach should be the gospel, but what if people have reservations due to skepticism in matters of the Bible, theism or any other aspect of Christianity? Answer their question if you are able. That is what Pre-Evangelism is all about: breaking down all the barriers that prevent the person from accepting Christ. Start out with the gospel, but if a person wants to challenge all that the gospel is based on, don't ignore this challenge. Study up now before you meet it and when it comes have an answer to every person of the hope that you have in Jesus Christ.

1 Peter 3:15- But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear.

Commandment #8

Thou Shalt Be Reasonable!

The worst thing thou canst possibly do in a conversation is reducing yourself to being beyond reason. Many skeptics will only listen to you if you sound like a reasonable person. Realize this and think about it while you talk. Don't waver from the truths of the scriptures, but also don't dismiss everything an unbeliever says just because they are an unbeliever. Skeptics are fully capable of rational thought and treating them any less than rational normal people will only result in a bitter end to what could have been a useful conversation.

Isaiah 1:18- Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

Commandment #9

Thou Shalt Not Waste Time

Art thou called to preach Christ unto all people? Then why are you spending all of your time browsing entertainment and shopping sites? Sure, those things are fun, but are you really willing to be used of God to reach people? If you can't pull yourself away from mindless activities like games and quizzes, why even bother witnessing at all? You are there. Unbelievers are there. Do what you know you should be doing!

Revelation 3:15,16- I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spew thee out of my mouth.

Commandment #10

Thou Shalt Be Kind at ALL Times

Is not a believer in Christ a new creature? Sometimes we forget who we represent and what God has done for us. We get distracted and taken in by the cares of the world. We begin to get afflicted by the same things that rob unbelievers of their joy such as depression and anger. When our minds are set on the cross and what Christ has done for us, our hearts are able to reflect that love onto other people. Kindness is simply a demonstration of love and can go a million miles towards showing an unbeliever you really care. Don't hesitate to love people. Don't hesitate to be there for them. Put your differences aside when they grieve. Never beat them over the head with the message you bring. Ultimately when you present the truth in love, they will listen, and many times you will see the fruition of your labors for Christ.

Psalms 126:6- He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.]]> Thu, 14 Dec 2006 17:40:21 -0500 http://www.worthychristianforums.com/Ten-Commndments-Online-W-t52045.html need a mod in chat http://www.worthychristianforums.com/mod-chat-t111884.html got another one Sat, 24 Oct 2009 18:10:09 -0400 http://www.worthychristianforums.com/mod-chat-t111884.html a gentle reminder http://www.worthychristianforums.com/gentle-reminder-t111692.html
The reminder is here because some apparently are to busy flirting to notice the warnings in the Terms of Service which each member is required to agree with or to notice the warnings given by moderators.

Let's all make our conversation above reproach!]]> Tue, 20 Oct 2009 16:40:32 -0400 http://www.worthychristianforums.com/gentle-reminder-t111692.html trolls in chat when no admin is there http://www.worthychristianforums.com/trolls-chat-admin-t105685.html
Occasionally there maybe a time when there is no admin present in chat. it does not happen often but it does happen.

thought i would post some ideas for when a troll ( someone who is there just to cause trouble swear post bad stuff et) is in chat and at that time there are no admins present.

first and most importantly pray for their souls they are lost -damned to hell on their current path.

second if you can not abide by their language use the ignore button ( they will see what you type but you will not see what they type)and continue praising the Lord or sharing Bible verse or testifying. (often when they do not get any reaction but the love of the Lord they may leave on their own)

third post here so admin can see you need help .

these are just some of my ideas ( and i am only speaking for myself lol). use the ones you find helpful
ignore the rest.
love your sister in Christ,
Rebekah David

Some FAQ are here: FAQ

Administrators are the ones with their names in either blue or green and are there to help.

All the codes to the smilies are found by clicking “DigiChat” in the upper-left corner of the chat window. Then click on “Emoticons,” which will open another page in your browser (the program that displays the pages of websites on the internet) or you may view them here: emoticons

The first room you enter into, “Upper Room,” is like a lobby with various discussions. To change rooms, you will see a “Rooms” tab… click on that tab with your mouse. A room listing with the # of chatters in each room will replace the default “Nicknames” list under the “Users” tab.

If you have a profile on the Worthy Boards, you may adjust this profile to be displayed when you enter chat, or you may enter it each time you come into chat under the "Settings" button. You can view Worthy Chat Profiles here: http://www.worthychat.com/profiles/

By clicking the “Settings” button you can change sounds (if your browser supports this), scroll speed (if the room is moving too fast you can slow it down), avatar (the picture displayed by your nickname), fonts, etc.

The buttons under the Users and Rooms tabs allow certain features when a person’s nickname is highlighted in the list of names. The “i” button will display the information the chatter entered in their profile. The “p” button brings up a smaller private message window for that particular chatter. (If someone sends you a PM, you will see a special indication in the regular chat window, click that message once and the PM window will appear after a few seconds). The “flag” button highlights the messages from a particular chatter- this makes tracking a certain conversation much easier when a lot of chatting is going on. The “circle with a slash” button is to ignore a particular chatter- whatever an ignored chatter posts, you will not see until you push that button again.

If you close or change the worthychat.com login page while in chat, it may log you out. You may also be automatically logged out if you have been inactive for 20 minutes or if you “flood.” You can get booted out for not abiding by the TOS. Don’t assume someone has kicked you out unless you have a message window that specifically says that you have been.

In chat there are “broadcasts” that will be displayed to a particular room or all the rooms for various reasons which may or may not directly be addressed to you… these must be clicked before they disappear and you can continue chatting.

The Bible verses with the lightbulb icon are automatic… they are not chatters … you can talk to the bots as much as you want, but they won’t answer! Heh. (unless a chatter chooses to have their name appear like them- but 99.9% of the time you can count on it being a bot)

Typing in ALL CAPS is considered shouting, so please don’t.

You cannot copy text from chat, but you may paste. This is useful when in a study or discussion to paste a Bible verse in context rather than just typing the reference to it.

The GIG is temporarily out of service until further notice, which may be tomorrow or never.

Can anyone else think of some helpful tips???

Y’all are welcome in chat… just join in the conversation

I can't give you a full explanation, unfortunately, but suffice to say that my wife is uncomfortable with me being in any chat room, so to ensure that it does not become an issue between us, I have decided to refrain from the chat until further notice. I will still be perusing the boards, and making occasional posts, so I'm not going to completely disappear.
