Saving the forum information at home

Hi friends,

Since we depend so much on internet exchange of information should we be concerned with what may be done to restrict our communication in future?

Quote in part:
"...On November 10th, 2014, President Obama called on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to re-classify the Internet as a public utility. He proposed dusting off a law that’s nearly 80 years old (and about unrelated technology) and using it to give the Federal Government power to police the Internet."

This is not about "party politics" since both Democrats and Republicans are afraid of sincere Christians and what may be taught that would cause citizens to distrust their representatives.

For me personally, I think that I should download as much as possible onto my own personal hard drive or save it in print while the information is yet available without censorship. Or am I over reacting?

Any comments would be appreciated.

I think having a copy is always good. I have copy of the audios so don' t have to go online to listen.

Also ain't no politician going to stop God's will  ;)

Bob, Verizon and AT&T will immediately start fighting this in court. It will be tied up for years. Also the Republican Congress is planning on trying to stop but there is always a veto waiting any action they take. Bottom line it will be some time before anything happens. It is all going to be ultimately God's intention. One thing I'm trying to avoid is the what if's in life.

indianabob:
Hi Doug,
Thanks for the reply. I see your point about the what ifs in life, but isn't that how we got to Bible-Truths in the first place?
If God hadn't stimulated questions or doubts in my mind I probably would have remained satisfied with the accepted beliefs that had been given to me in my former Worldwide COG congregation. I was fairly well satisfied for 30 years and had many friends with whom I had discussed amicably all the "false" doctrines that WCG had taught until the day my wife challenged me. By the way my wife Doris is a real and true gift of God for her wisdom and great patience with me these 54 years. She was my first gift from God, fresh from High School.

Anyway, my main point would seem to be that we who are among the elect, potentially anyway, should not avoid certain questions about human nature and God's nature as long as we don't let ego get in the way of shedding light on the matter. And by the way I'm not referring to doctrine, just daily living. But perhaps this is a topic for private communication between those who are better acquainted among the forum membership.
I won't press the issue, but welcome private comments.

Hi Bob, I too was a long time member of WCG. What an eye opener when God revealed the truth about them.
My response was more due to changes I need to make. Since my early teens I worried (feared) the Great Tribulation. For the next 45 years or so this consumed me as well as world events. After coming to a very bad point in my life I begged God to show me a church to attend and get my life on track. God led me here. It has taken 2 plus years to just begin to let go. So this was just another issue where instead of worry I was simply turning over to God and putting all trust in Him. Believe me at the drop of a hat I can be right in there with you concerned about this issue plus a million more. I always enjoy your writing.
