Only 7 of the 25 threads here have responses that have reached double figures!!

What might this be a symptom of, I wonder?
Some have gone off the Internet to save money. Some are on vacation. As for me, I am getting tired of talking to rocks. How about yourself Heber? How are things going for you?:wave:

MTAA - yeah, not much of great interest/debate on the threads at the moment and the rule changes are making it harder to have a decent debate about anything! I was just surprised at how low the response number is at the moment. Usually generates double figures for almost any sort of thread - not known the majority like this before (I've been on here longer than the date on my post. I was here previously under a different name). But I know what you mean.

Between a busy baby and trying to figure out our budget, housekeeping and that sort of thing... I've had little time for the deeper stuff. I ended up pasting the wrong image in a thread, and I kinda skulked off after that. It wasn't really my fault - as the baby had pressed buttons trying to assist in posting -- but it was, because I failed to proofread properly in the rush to hurry back to him and not be logged out in the midst of posting and lose the whole thing.

as it says:

1Cr 7:34 There is difference [also] between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please [her] husband.

That's where I've been... the "other" sacred work...

I would say it is certain posters who like to preach with a big stick, and others who like to be cynical and deliberately misinterpret or pick to pieces other peoples posts without bothering to really look into it themselves. I don't have time or patience to put up with that sort of sod. The Messianic forum used to be a haven from that sort of thing, but not anymore. This whole site seems to flip from passive aggressive to just plain aggressive, it's hard to find anyone to discuss stuff with in an open and loving manner, unless of course you are saying exactly what they want to hear and agree with them wholeheartedly.

The really big thing is that issues are not just discussed as issues, people are making them personal and attacking the posters.

Too busy to spend much time on line...plus the little time I have
I am usually at Jewish sites..

same here. Plus I used an amazon gift certificate to get some great books from Rav Shalom Arush and Rav Brody and have been doing alot of reading. Add to that working 60 hours a week, subtract 26-30 hours for shabbas and getting ready for shabbas plus dovening three times a day and and and, and its a wonder I'm even able to look at hte computer. What little time I'm on, I like to go to Jewish sites to bone up my Torah knowledge.

I do lurk here sometimes, but even over in the MW forum there have been too many posters that are more interested in viscious arguing than constructive conversation that I hardly even post there.

Haven't heard anything from her in a long time. I was just
actually thinking about her myself.

I've sent her a card, email, and tried to call but did not get an answer. I'm kinda concerned.

People tired of changing rules
People busy
People tired of trying to figure out where they can post today.
People tired of controversy
People working extra jobs.
People lost their home and have no computer and can't get a timeslot at the library.
People dealing with family matters
People reading and not posting
People posting in other sections besides here
People found another forum they are more comfortable posting in.

I'm sure there are tons of reasons but I trust that God will bring who is necessary.
