Unless you used your old name sometime this year, I probably wouldn't know who you are.

Unless you used your old name sometime this year, I probably wouldn't know who you are.While we are waiting for those catching up with the thread.......
Did anyone figured out who I am ?
Yes.. this year and you have seen my old name.Unless you used your old name sometime this year, I probably wouldn't know who you are.
They?That was one of my biggest issues here in CF. They pick doctrines over love.
Yes.. this year and you have seen my old name.
The old version of the forum was a decision made by someone for a great number of the people here.This is a decision made by someone for me. When I signed onto staff it was because I was under the impression Erwin wanted to run a ministry. This is why many of us feel betrayed; we've been essentially tossed out with the dirty laundry in terms of the vision we thought we were signing onto.
If you have been in GT, you have seen my name.Do I know who you are?
Then I have a strong suspicion of who you might be.Yes.. this year and you have seen my old name.
2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
How do I know if a person next me is truly a Christian? I have learned so much about doctrines since I was a teen. To this day, I never met a Christian who agrees with my beliefs 100% and I also have not met a Christian who I agree with their beliefs 100%. Many people are defining "Christian" by their own doctrines, not the New Testament.They?
No distinction among Christians from your perspective?
Yeah, right.
In reality, we the membership now rule the site, not Erwin, not Alpha, not moderators.
That is the beauty of the idea.

I don't think anyone can take direct responsibility for the system as a whole.
Those of us on the liberal end bear some responsibility. We pressed for a lot of the legalism, at least to the degree that we kept asking for procedural safegaurds. We did so often because of the abuse and outright deceptiveness of previous generations of moderators. When you have mods outright lying, baiting members, and going after people for personal reasons, it's a problem. For those on the outside, one viable response is to press for rules and principles by which to hold those moderators responsible. We did that, and in many cases we got them. Add to this the shear number of people (primarily conservatives) pressing for rules restricting access to the subforums, stipulating what can and cannot be said, or who can and cannot use of this or that little icon, and you have people on both sides pressing for more rules. What you ended up with was way too cumbersome, regardless of its ideological orientation. The rules you had to work with were a joint effort by lots of people with no clear responsibility to any one person.
Whether or not Erwin's changes will help, I don't know either. But I actually doubt there will be half as much change in the authority structure of the place as most seem to think. It's still a Christian forum, and that alone will be enough to prevent most non-Christians from applying to leadership or heading into the Congregation forums. What's changed has less to do with what views will dominate the forum than the mechanisms available to express that domination.
