I have gotten a lot of good from some wonderful, uplifting posts.... I've also seen some nit-picking and harshness... it's a virtual world here - just like the one we walk in - you will find scripture, words and people that are uplifting and are encouraging and you will find words and people here who can be harsh in their words and criticism ... the choice I made is to leave when I am not comfortable, come back only occasionally and look for the good - not the negative. As to the large membership - I'm sure that there are thousands who created an account or 2 or 3 and never came back. I think it is a management decision not to purge accounts that have not been used in years. Man, I don't know where the membership map is... blessings to you!

IF you would like to talk, PM me. To address your concerns, nobody who is not in ministry is informed of any discussion or actions taken on another member. That would be very disrespectful and breaking confidentiality. To claim bad behavior is tolerated is assuming you know what we do behind the scenes, and since you don't know, your assumptions are very misleading and incorrect. Nobody is ever given "bullet proof protection". I can assure you that some in ministry have been removed for ministry when corrective actions takes were rejected by them. We hold those in ministry to a higher degree of accountability. We also try to be as "long suffering" or "patient" with regular members as Jesus was toward us all. I can also say that very few people have ever donated to this site. I have noticed you have a critical view of this site and how it operates, so again, I encourage you to PM me if you have specific questions. Just taking pot shots at this site will never resolve anything. I'm sorry I removed the post, it was done in haste without thinking of how it sounded, I have the highest regard for this site and those who moderate, I just was tired of continual harassment by a certain poster and seeing his long long history on this site, I couldn't figure out how he could of lasted so long without some unseen measure of action Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DRS81 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Well, for what it's worth I think forums are better than social networking sites; mainly because it's less cheesy with good privacy rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been using Facebook Christian groups there for discussion. Chronic pain is throwing me off on socializing, though. I don't want to keep talking about it, but can't stop thinking about it since it distracts. If God allows me to obtain funds I really want to try something again to heal it.
