George is the only one that can change anything. I am a watchman and was told that a person must violate the TOS to be reported. That didn't seem to include strange doctrines and those who claim to be Jesus. We are supposed to refute those and minister to the unbalanced people. The biggest problem in my eyes is that new Christians can be swayed by aberrant teaching. The second is the accusing spirit that has taken hold. Satan is the accuser of the brethren. Each of us needs to guard our own hearts and keep right with God. We need to forgive quickly. I am probably one of the people who posts platitudes. But the Word of God is the Sword of the Spirit. And I trust God to apply it to those who will receive it. I also wish we could curb those who have angry accusing spirits, or roots of bitterness. There seems to be a crusading agenda. This is especially true when people are allowed to hijack nearly every thread and insert their agenda. It turns into a rant. This has to be stopped. Some of the people are even popular because their angry accusing spirits attract others of the same ilk. Nevertheless, this is still the best forum I have encountered. Some do nothing to protect their members from vulgar horrid attacks. I have faith that God will persevere here. We all need to spend more time praying about it and remembering that our enemy is not flesh and blood. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't happen anymore, not from folks on the forum anyway. I still spend most of my time on the site ministering to people one on one, but only those who come in the chat room and see my name on the mod list there. Other than that, no one knows who the Watchmen are, including us. And as you said, many probably don't know we exist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not one has a title anymore. Ask any new member who the watchmen are and you will get an astounding "Whats a Watchmen?". I guess I didn't notice that there were no Watchmen now. I wonder why. They are needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not because the mods agree with the topic and disagree with your posts. Maybe. But the last two times I didn't attack anyone, just pointed out the lies. The lies were not deleted because I asked someone to check. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for false teaching, Christianity, when done correctly does not embrace false beliefs. One who is following accurate doctrine and theology should never, ever say "what is viewed as false by one person, may not be false to another." You either follow sound doctrine and theology and defend it, or you abandon it and embrace all kinds of false junk. Things like KJV-only, Sabbath keeping, flat earth, Replacement Theology, "all churches are bad" and other senseless junk that has lately flooded the boards are demonstrably false, easily proven false and are soundly countered time after time, but the people pushing them over and over again are more wrapped up in the false belief itself instead of the Gospel. The board is not logically and consistently moderated, so the false teachings flourish because there are no repercussions. In it's present state, the board is actually functioning in the exact opposite of what it's stated function is. Apologetics and polemics are not exactly the funnest thing for a person to spend their time on, but there are so few of us here engaged in them that the false teachers operate pretty much unchecked. It was this kind of operating that killed other boards like Mannacabana. False teachers overran the site, by design, and there were not enough mods to stem the hourly flow of junk teaching. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 13 I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who in his testimony before Pontius Pilate made the good confession, 14 to keep the commandment unstained and free from reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 which he will display at the proper time—he who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, 16 who alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see. To him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen. I hope I don't have to, wingnut. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
