Worthy Boards history

[other one]

I wish some of those conspiracies could be discussed in a civil manor, but too many people are completely over the edge radical on both sides of most of those discussions; at least that has been the situation here. There is a place or two where it happens, but it's rare to find, and usually very small compared to here.

When I first came here I believe this was called Christian chat wasn't it?, anyways, I wasn't walking with the Lord the way that I should have, but thanks to the patients of brothers and sisters like NTPraisewarrior, and Gerrioke, and JesusSaveUs, I matured real quick. Yes if it's one thing they taught me, always trust in the Lord, rather than man, or woman. Lol.

I wonder where they are now?

Sounds like it's been a great place since the very beginning.

Anything you really miss about the very early beginnings?

Or is everything still in place, just on a larger scale now?

Personally I miss being able to post pictures......

It's not as effective to post a picture or two and comment on them or to use that smiley when someone really upsets you....

Shadow2b had some really really good smileys

I was really young back in 2002 when i started coming therefore many things, I dont remember. Besides some people who dont come here anymore, who were solid quality people, I cant think of anything else i really miss.

I do like many of the nifty changes that have taken place over the years though! More smilies, introduction of profiles, addition of the ladies lounge and other such special forums, and the new friends that have joined the worthy family (i swear i am not trying to be cheesy! ). I am still not a fan of the new format of chat

I definitely dont miss the confusion of being new to the boards though!

I'm only a fairly new member here (April last year), and I don't really post a great deal on these boards. I have seen the good and the bad side of Christianity, and we all have this to some degree or other. I have seen people post the most lovely and heart-warming encouragements, and I have heard the most outrageous condemnatory statements and attacks against others. And in the middle of these two seemingly opposite points of love/hate, I have seen what it is to be human, and what it is to put Christ first in everything we do, not condemning but Loving.

I'd be curious though, people have mentioned the effects that shadow2be (aka, Gary) has had on people. I tried running a Member Search for him to go back through some of his posts and see if there are things I could learn from him about things, but his name doesn't show up on any of the Searches. Any older members have a link I could go to for him?

I first learnt from him, and the crew from back then, about the wof movement. I had no idea there was such nonsense! it was such a confusing and heartbreaking time for me when i was finding out all this information.

Thanks peaches, seeing his username, I guess I found out why I couldn't find him on the Member search. Thanks for the links. All the best

I arrived in 2005. It is a joy to minister and be ministered to here

I'm glad there was a time when we could warn others of apostacy, but I won't argue for that because I remember where it often lead.

Your first link had Bob Landis. He was such a neat guy, and we had many conversations. I wish he hadn't have left.

I miss Munari, too. He was one of our resident Catholics and such a sweet kid. He hated that I saw him that way since he wasn't that much younger than me.
