ya caught that.Even I thank you! And you KNOW how difficult I am!
Your straying from the point. God is in control. God let Hitler do what he did for a purpose. God will allow and control what happens in this forum, whether it be good or bad.And God wanted Hitler in or just allow it b/c of human will?
That's not the intention. Because the intention was never to make staff feel like the are "working" for CF, but that they are "working" for the members, and if anything, it's the members who appoint and members who remove. At least, that's the future plan. My apologies if staff feel that way. I'm not posting in the staff forums because I am busy doing some server things at the moment and I need to do it as Saturday is going by fast and I have things to do this evening. Sorry to all staff if this came as a surprise - put it this way, as mentioned, it's a unilateral decision I made to essentially "reboot" the whole framework of CF.You know like a guy has been working for a big corporation for years sadly with out warning he is fired and all he gets is a cheap watch.. thats kinda how staff feels.
Its hard to under stand what staff feels right now unless your on staff. We have work so hard to make this site as safe and comfortable for memebers.... some people have been modding for years, and most of us love to Mod. It feels like were getting thrown out in the cold. You know like a guy has been working for a big corporation for years sadly with out warning he is fired and all he gets is a cheap watch.. thats kinda how staff feels.
Thanks Kiwi that means a lot to me.Even I thank you! And you KNOW how difficult I am!
I think once again that Jesus is being sacrificed for the nation. But that's Erwins business, I will continue where I feel God leads as do we all.Your straying from the point. God is in control. God let Hitler do what he did for a purpose. God will allow and control what happens in this forum, whether it be good or bad.
The death of God's Son was very bad, especially for Him. But He not only allowed, but He made it happen. Life is all about sacrifice.

Yep, the water has become stagnant. The people who are uncomfortable are the ones who need to be uprooted. (for the most part)Shake it up, Erwin! That's exactly what this place needs.
Yeah people griping, people giving thumbs up, people discussing the fine points, staff quitting, staff staying, and Erwin sticking to his guns.So last time I checked in it was 6 pages long... now it's 69. Can anyone bring me up to speed?
But you are NOT fired. Is that so hard to understand? You are still a mod now, and you can run again.Its hard to under stand what staff feels right now unless your on staff. We have work so hard to make this site as safe and comfortable for memebers.... some people have been modding for years, and most of us love to Mod. It feels like were getting thrown out in the cold.

very wiseBrothers and Sisters....
I came to Christian Forums just a few short months ago. There are still many areas of CF that I haven't visited. There are many nuances I haven't explored and much I do not know or understand of the workings of CF. I do not write the following words from a heart that has any CF agenda.
I do write from a heart of grief.... I've spent about a half hour reading Erwin's original post as well as flipping through pages of the posts that have followed. There is no way to read through every one.
Today is my birthday. I have experienced an incredible outpouring of love from my brothers and sisters on this forum. If it had not been for what I've experienced here, I really wouldn't have had much of a birthday. It's been amazing. So, I flip over to see what Erwin has envisioned for CF and what I read is backbiting and jealousy and distrust and murmuring.... we are the Christians who are to be salt and light????? If I were an unbeliever who had stumbled onto this thread I would run for the hills based on the display of emotion one against another in a forum where we are to love one another. I would say we have proven atheistic skeptics correct in their assumptions we are no different than the world....shame on us!!!!
When I first read Erwin's post, I was skeptical as to whether a new "open" forum could possibly work. Not because I feel I need to be protected. But because I fear that just what has happened in this thread will continue and nonbelievers who come for the answers to their questions might be rebuffed and never come into a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Christ never intended for our churches, our houses of worship, our "Christian Forums" to be an escape route. If you're looking for peace and safety, Christianity isn't for you. We are to be a hospital for the sick. The last stop before someone spends an eternity in hell. And, as it pertains to believers, a place where we greet one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs as we live out our faith before a lost and dying world.
Erwin, I will continue in my support of CF. Brothers and Sisters, I love you and pray God will fill you with His conviction and a refreshed love one for another and for those He intends to bring to us for His purposes and glory!!!
I'd run while you still have the chance....SOme of the staff feel like they've been dismissed without so much as a thank you or good-bye, some feel that Erwin has "sold out" and that this site will no longer be CHristian and others feel like its a welcome change.So last time I checked in it was 6 pages long... now it's 69. Can anyone bring me up to speed?

Do you mean the ones that don't agree with the change? You shouldn't have much problem there.Yep, the water has become stagnant. The people who are uncomfortable are the ones who need to be uprooted. (for the most part)
