Moderators, what happened to the thread?
Chris R:
Hello folks,
I reckon you all have different opinions about our moderators, some good, some not so good,
So schools out! The folks who help keep this site up and running deserve better than to be smashed at every turn, second guessed, and outright treated nastily.
When i was asked to help, EVERY post had to be approved! Craig then asked Dennis to allow a more open format, Then asked Me if i could help, I agreed and the board was quickly overrun with posts.
Fast forward through many disagreements that just might have shut this forum down, if not for the long hours, and steady hand of Mr. Craig Parsonssc, And both our prayers that we find a set of rules in which we could help keep the forum on the right track.
Then we were blessed with Joe, who has given stability to the forum by posting and sharing his own experiences with the members, giving the personal touch we all needed here. Then Kat with her excellent ability to format, and remember every note or letter to help us all keep on track with what it is we are discussing, bible-truths.com
Then Recently Josh was asked to help and give us the benefit of his knowledge, and his ability to relate much better with the forums younger members.
We all work...I work 11 hours a day!..My Father is dying, My family needs me to help them in these, My Dads final days. We have families, We have problems, we are not perfect, none of us.
We discuss posts the best we can and we try and direct the forum towards the reason it was developed for to begin with.
What exactly did you all expect? that we would all quit our jobs...stop paying our bills, stop attending our families, so you could feel we are doing a better job moderating a chat forum? you have got to be kidding me!
IT ENDS NOW! The Administrators, AND the Moderators created the rules, and in those rules you ALL have a responsibility to MODERATE yourselves!
DO NOT AIR YOUR GRIVIENCES ON THE BOARD! Write to me in a private message and we will then discuss your problem one on one, A single person can be a reasonable tempered individual, however "PEOPLE" alot of them carry on a mob like mentality, Be more tolerant! get over it..move on.
I'm sorry for how harsh this might sound, but..these moderators are good folks, who have given of themselves and their time for this forum.
Please pray about it
God be with you all
Chris R.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God. It seems to me that we are at an empasse. My goal is to make the moderators and the members see what is happening on both sides and hopefully, bring peace. The moderators have rules that they feel need to be upheld, for the sake of preserving the forum and it's intent. The forum needs this. I have seen this forum invaded by those who hate all we believe and want to destroy it from within. At the same time, the members feel silenced by moderators and see the sanctity of a safe place to question and learn destroyed. Here's the rub: This forum is all about discussing Ray's papers and the Truths he has learned. A HUGE part of that is BABYLON and a huge part of babylon is never to question anything, just trust that those above you are operating in your best interest. This is the crazy paradox of what I see happening on this forum now.

Hi sasscell,
I don't understand how Ray's papers and the Truths he has discovered (through His Spirit) is Babylon. ???
No one ever said that questions about the articles are forbidden, that is why we are here in the first place, to gain understanding. Read the articles, ask questions, give insights, testimonies on how these truths have impacted us in our journey, also to edify and comfort one another.
The trouble always begins by those who do not read anything insert "feelings" and opinions that do not have a basis in any of the papers and/or do not have scriptural authority. We as moderators are not here to referee debates, if anyone seeks this type of activity there are sites that promote it, no one is saying you must disfellowship from us but do the debating there and come here to discuss the articles that made this Forum possible here. It is not an either/or if you desire both, go for it!
I could see how there could be confusion if there were not an established set of rules in place that we agreed upon when we joined, the confusion, strife and contention begin when the rules are ignored and we as moderstors do not do an effective and consistant job of enforcing them, I must say I take a fair share of blame for that.
His Peace and Wisdom to you,
Joe
sasscell:
NO JOE!! I am saying that alot of what Ray talks about is (speaking) of Babylon, what it is (christendom) WHO (christendom) teaches us to never question anything, etc, etc. HUGE difference!!
