It might be more merciful if he did pull the plug. We who care could network ourselves to a better place.

We are at his mercy.
To be fair, there are hypocrites in all camps. There are control freaks in all camps. Every trait we see in Christians, also exists among non-Christians. What I'm pointing out is, Christians are no better or worse as message board moderators, than non-Christians.My main problem is hypocrites in CF.
Well, I'm not getting into what is, and what is not a True Christian. I'm just saying that it doesn't take a True Christian to moderate an internet message board.I do have some concerns with some who are "professed Christians" in this world.
you'd be surprised how many ppl have this as their only link with other christians. either theyve been hurt by ppl in church, or theyre ill or live somewhere remote. you'd be surprised.I agree.
Regardless of decisions made, stomping out in a huff is not the answer. I see the attitudes as more of the root of the problem than any decisions.
My heart goes out to those people, but again, they do not need to fear. Christ will take care of their every need. If CF is truly not going to be a place where they can recieve fellowship then another way will be provided. I wouldn't have thought that there would be many people in this situation though?
I welcome the changes, I don't know if I would say I was happy. For one thing we don't really know what we're getting yet. We have the underlying motivation Erwin has given us and some brief intentions, but the devil is always in the details. We could be banding together as a group to support Erwin in an effort to remove some of the considerable problems which plague this site, and trying to ensure that the bits we value are not lost. I don't see so much of that. Some, but not much.
Actually, I don't totally disagree with that. I just probably disagree with him about what exactly is a sin and what isn't... To me, a sin is when someone purposefully harms another person. And I don't tolerate harming others.That's more the Jim I admired!
But Star Jewel won't like that.

And this also was something God wanted him to do it was repeated over and over for a few years -and it doesnt match whats happening now so either God wasnt in it then, or He isnt in it now but it cannot be both:

See, that's funny. I don't see a lot of the people who constantly cried about people leaving CF before because of CF's adherence to orthodoxy crying now when people are leaving because of CF's discarding of orthodoxy.
Not that that surprises me, because it doesn't at all. It's part of the playbook.

well according to Erwins announcement there won't be any more restrictions on faith icons...meaning..nobody else can say whether your a certain denomination or not..only YOU can say..and only YOU can change your icon if you choose. (Ex: in OBOB there is a faction of people that think THEY decide who IS or ISN't Catholic and they were taking away peoples faith icons)Are we to lose our faith icons? I heard a couple people mention that, is it true?
i figured as much.
So..have ANY actual changes on structure actually taken place yet? Have all the forums become OPEN yet?

The question is what will the faith icons mean anyway? They won't be used for posting purposes. All threads will be open to all members. What difference will the Icon make?well according to Erwins announcement there won't be any more restrictions on faith icons...meaning..nobody else can say whether your a certain denomination or not..only YOU can say..and only YOU can change your icon if you choose.

Yet..i heard others here saying ERwin is getting rid of the faith icons all together, but who knows.
