There are a great many things most of us don't know about, @MonicaWife. 

It pains us to confront the stark reality of man, for we abstain from assuming evil of others. Slow to speak, and quick to listen; this is how we who see darkly and know only in part become wise as serpents and harmless as doves. 

George is not in the business of dealing with topics in a haphazard or careless fashion, something I have observed during my time on Worthy. Therefore, I trust that our brother had good reasons motivating what was done.

It is not always appropriate to share those reasons with others. In fact, it is best to remain silent about such things for the most part. For example, being a member of staff here at the nonprofit where I serve the Lord, discretion is paramount. If a client approaches me and requests information regarding a confidential matter, I do not share that information with them. It's not their concern, my friend.

I've studied many case examples of scam artists on the internet, and some are very skilled at playing the sympathies of those they seek to prey upon. They patiently contrive heart-wrenching stories, and most work a number of different scams simultaneously. Sooner or later, they play their hand: the hook emerges, and they ask for monetary assistance from unwitting victims of their confidence scheme.

I'm not saying that's the case here, sister. However, I have witnessed tell-tale signs. Believe me when I say that scammers can be very patient indeed, but eventually find it necessary to escalate their game in order to score ill-gotten gains. It's how they make a living.

It's a terrible thing.

There is a lot of work behind the scenes where much of that stuff is dealt with before any or many see it.

Because this is a public forum, its not possible to prevent folks from gaining access unless it is obvious there is a concern when they first try to join. At that point they are dealt with appropriately.

Believe me--it takes a lot of time and effort to be so diligent.

I understand that, but he's been in here since 2018!

Time is fickle in that within time, people can and do change.  I certainly am not the same person I was when I joined.  Some change for the better and others seem to fall back a little.  As life gives us mountains and valleys, what we do with them determines who we become after we walk the path.  I've seen some come here with the greatest testimonies and advice only to watch them change after a period of time, and I've also seen people come here kicking and screaming at life and in a short time find peace.  Nobody knows what tomorrow will bring for any of us, which is why it's important to not remain silent when we see something going on that doesn't sit right with us. 

There is not one member who can sit here and read every post that is created and have control of every situation.  That is why we need to report something if it seems off or against the TOS.  Just ignoring the member will not help anyone but the person putting someone on ignore.  Ignoring someone never warns others of a developing issue or possible danger.  Just as remaining silent never helps, reporting others just because you disagree with them does no good either.  We need to use discernment, wisdom and common sense in order to have a place to come where the members are safe and those who need help can get the help they need. 

Sending someone money for the most part is like feeding someone a fish.  When they are hungry again, they will ask for more from you.  Helping someone to learn how to fish will feed them for a long time.  Sometimes all that is really needed is to help them find the resources out there where they can get what it is they need.

Very well said! And hopefully we all can grow in faith in here and everywhere, learning to trust that when we are seeking Abba Father's righteousness, Kingdom and will first of all, He has promised to provide us with everything else we need, right? 

I've compassion both for those who actually are in need, but also for those who pretend to be in need, as I know that the craving for money/mammon can only lead to a disaster.

Nobody wants Plavious to leave,he is certainly in need of our prayers and to delete his profile or account would not serve any good purpose,would it?

He & I are talking in pm and I personally am doing whatever I can possibly do to support & encourage him - correction served a much better purpose than restrictions would,imo

No one doubts he is suffering & he needs love,compassion & God's Truth from us- sometimes tough love is needed but as long as God Leads the Way then it will be for all of our good ,& to the Glory of God!

With love in Christ,kwik

Okay, I hear you. Nevertheless, I'm still confused, as I can see that they've not deleted his profile, nor one of the last posts where he sent photos which contained sensitive information of himself. 

I didn't see that before ... but on the ToS ... it's pretty clear ...

No “spamming” allowed. Spamming is flooding the forums, mass PMs or emailing multiple members of this forum with unsolicited messages. It also includes links in posts or Sigs to sites that sell or solicits funds. No solicitation of any form will be allowed.

Just so you know, I generally remove all spam or solicitation type of posts whenever they are reported.  I do not have the ability to verify or not verify any request and I certainly don't want to spend my time doing so.  My time is already limited.

Just so you know this was my weekend ...

Friday ... went to NY ... spoke at Jonathan Cahns' ... left late last night returned home at 2 AM ... 

Saturday ... spoke this morning 

Tomorrow off and running to speak on the Eastern Shore of Maryland then I'm driving to Florida Sunday night to get to Daytona Beach by Tuesday. 

That's my typical type of schedule .. it's just that crazy ... so I certainly don't have the time to chase down legitimate or illegitimate claims.

Be blessed,

George

@George Thank you for the work you do in fulfillment of your calling. May the fruit of it be a blessing to many if not all.

Isa 51:3  For the LORD will comfort Zion, He will comfort all her waste places; He will make her wilderness like Eden, And her desert like the garden of the LORD; Joy and gladness will be found in it, Thanksgiving and the voice of melody.

Shalom George! Thank you for taking the time to reply and share the information which I probably should have known. Now I know. 

May the Lord's peace and grace be with you and your family!

People are going to continue that unless they get some supervision on Worthy. People are going to be confused why their posts have been deleted and other questions which they will get no answer for. George is too busy for Worthy and Omega 3 is not on Worthy very often. Which leaves what?

I've heard that there's at least 12 male moderators in here (+?), and I'm praying 🙏🏽 for more. 😊

I'm on a number of forums and I believe (fwiw) that this community is very well moderated.
