I may completely change my mind on this, but for now I am taking a break from CF. This is really the subforum that matters the most to me, so I thought I'd let you lot know. I frankly don't have the energy to learn how wiki works, what the forum specific rules are on each forum I want to post...

So I've just come back from holidays for 3 weeks and have no idea what is going on. From what I have read I understood enough to immediately resign from staff. Sorry about that fellow staff - I found somewhere to announce it, but don't know if it's a currently used area. The conference room was...

I just wanted to say Congratulations to jtbdad for being promoted to supervisor. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::clap::clap::clap: It's good to see your hard work recognised.

Sorry - strange title. In our state the upper house is about to vote next week on whether to allow human cloning for the purposes of embryonic stem cell research. This legislation has already gone through our federal parliament, and the lower house of our state parliament. We have been...

Note to all members As many members have expressed that they would like to allow greater discussion with other members who are not ND, we have decided to trial an approach to allow rule 1.4 to be relaxed in some circumstances. Our proposal is for a 2 month trial where the following would be...

This is a bit of an issue in our state at the moment. Our House of Representatives just approved cloning for this research last week. It's going before the upper house in a few weeks time. I'm not sure if we've discussed it in here before. I have spent a fairly large amount of time researching...

Dear Friends, This needs your attention before 19 June 2007, please inform yourself and act according to your conscience. Please pass this information on to others. The "Human Cloning and Other Prohibited Practices Amendment Bill 2007" has passed the NSW lower house. This debate will come...

Hi again, As you are probably aware, with Sophia7 and Tall73 stepping down from staff there is now an absence of SDA staff members. This is something I am keen to alleviate. We want to be careful to get a balance on staff though. What would be terrible is if there were a stack of new SDA...

Hi all, As you know I am still quite new to supervising here in the SDA forum. I have been really encouraged by the desire of people to get this forum back to being a place where all SDA'ers can post without fear of being flamed, as expressed in jtbdad's thread, which is worth a read if you...

Hi Everyone, I thought I'd better come in and introduce myself. I have just returned from a leave of absence from staff, and am now taking on a slightly different role. I remain a supervisor, but instead of training I am back on forums. I am very happy to be doing this. One of my new...

Hi Everyone, I thought I'd better come in and introduce myself. I am just returning from a leave of absence from staff and have taken a slight change in role. Previously I was the Ecumenical Team Training Supervisor. Prior to that I was doing much the same as what I am returning to, but with...

Hi Everyone. I thought I'd better come and introduce myself. Since Jim is stepping down, and I am just returning to staff, I have been asked to come and supervise in here. Jim said you were all really horrible and difficult, but I dunno Jim. It doesn't look that bad so far. ;) I am not...

I'm going to hear a talk on this topic on the weekend. I have my own thoughts on this already, but I thought it'd be worth expanding my horizons on it. So - how do you go about forming an ethical opinion on something? What do you consider? How do you decide what is important? etc, etc.

I was just chatting with Colabomb about Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, as he was unfamiliar with it. It got me wondering who else here might read his stuff. I love his writing. My dh and I both read his books. Love the satire. Love his obscure humour. I hope I'm not alone.

I just stumbled across some books by a guy named Bill Myers. I am looking to get something for a friends son - he is turning 8 soon. They look pretty good, but since I can only read the first chapter of any of them I wondered if anyone knew anything about him. He has a couple of series for...

Congratulations Colabomb! You must have flown through the training material. Good work. Hmm - maybe I should go on a flamefest to give you some work to do... hmmm. Perhaps not. Maybe another day.

We've got a mission team from a bible college up at the moment. There are quite a number of women in the team. A lot of those women are either married or engaged, and so will likely be ministers wives in the not too distant future. Tomorrow we are having an hour or so just to chat about stuff...

We have a bible college mission team coming to our parish this weekend, to stay for a week. There are a lot of events etc planned. There are a lot of attacks going on though. The mission is being run along with the Presbyterian church - that is not an attack. We have an outbreak of...
