I have been hesitant to post because of whatever problems arose last week on the forum. I don't want to speak when I shouldn't. I have been in contact with Bobby and I am posting this to relay a message from him.... he wanted ya'll to know he loves each of you... moderators too! I still don't know exactly what happened and don't really need to know. All I do know is that I hope things can get back to normal and that we will be encouraging and loving towards each other. I don't have a quarter of the knowledge many others do and I know I can't write something correctly that would fix everything that has happened but I want ya'll to know I love you very much. I think God has called me to love and not judge. Jennie

Hi Jennie,

This is not a complicated matter, if we do our best to follow the rules of the Forum there should not be an issue, if there is a question or if something seems to be in a gray area please PM a moderator, if you have a disagreement with something Ray wrote e-mail him directly letting him know you are a member of the Forum.

If a moderator asks you to cool off on a particular subject please consider what he or she is asking and why it is important to have guidelines in place. We had a thread going in the recent past that opened up all kinds of doors and some of you received some rather objectionable PM's and e-mails as a direct result.

The moderators are not only concerned about the active posting members but also the non posting members and all the guests who visit here daily and some for the very first time after "stumbling" onto Bible Truths. Is it too much to use discernment and temperence when posting (keeping our guests in mind) or communicating with a moderator?

We are not going to please everybody, I get PM's stating we are too leniant and then the same day I get PM's saying we are too restrictive, who is lying? Nobody. It is a matter of perception, the moderators are only here to try to keep the Forum functioning as intended, primarily a place for like minded folks to discuss Ray's articles and related subjects.

If we all agree on the purpose of this Forum and give an honest effort in doing our part as individuals we should have relatively few problems, perfection is not possible in this life.

No one is above the rules and no one gets restricted or banned without warnings first, if the warnings are ignored or argued and accusations are hurled at those giving the cautionary warnings then action must be taken, otherwise this Forum will descend into chaos.

I hope this clarifies where we are coming from and that we as a group are in agreement.

His Peace to all of you,

Joe

Joe,

  Thanks very much for posting this post as the threads locked recently did threaten to tear the forum apart.

  This post will serve to remove a bunch of questions and doubts that I am sure we all have.

  Sincerely,



  Anne C. McGuire

Rene:
Excellent clarification Joe!  I appreciate all that is done to maintain a spiritually sound place to fellowship.

Thanks for clarifying that Joe. I'm glad to know that we are given warnings before we are banned from the board.
Thanks for all you do in moderating this board! I'm sure it can't be easy. And you can't please all the people all the time.
 I had read a post that Bobby had left. I was sorry to hear that. I figured it had something to do with the fall out last week.
Whatever happened I pray that Bobby can be restored. I know he loves you guys.
