Staff is contantly changing, they come and go. I think the important part of the 'family' is the general membership.

one group is happy - one group is angry - some are hurt - plenty are jumping to conclusions . . . . . that's about it.

Ahh so things are about the same as usual, except this time around it's the people who are usually unhappy, are now happy and the people who are typically happy now unhappy?

Ahhh how the tables have turned.

A few thoughts from this newbie:

This place is a home, and as family members, we will not always agree. BUT we are still family. Love each other.

Some folks like to live in the past. Let's focus on the future. Together we can all make this a place where Erwin can be proud of the members' Christian behavior. Love each other.

There are no cheese doodles in the Special items-Menu Shop. This is not due to a lack of love for cheese doodles. Share the doodles. Let's see how many of you get orange fingers.

Will there still be an Alpha?
There is only one Alpha and He happens to also be the Omega.... if Erwin continues to follow Him and we continue to walk our faith out in love one toward another, this site will operate as it should!!! That love extends to believers and non-believers.

Erwin, if you get this far, and should my little post catch your eye, I just want to say "stick to your convictions."

As a wise man once said... I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man, than a fool in the eyes of God.

stay strong, Brother. You're doing exactly the right thing. Don't let the monkeys get you down.

Do you mean the ones that don't agree with the change? You shouldn't have much problem there.
I'm disagree with some of the changes, but I am not uncomfortable. I trust God and His servant Erwin.

A number of concerns...

1) Voted mods. I see issues with this because this could allow for something like all the mods having one point of view which would pave the way for discrimination and favoritism.

2) Complete openness. Call me a bit selfish if you want, but really, there are only two places where I can really relax on this whole site. One is Tetris the other is TAW. This opens the gate for people to come in and insult Orthodox (same applies to other faiths). I also can see massive debates going on between Christians and Atheists; Muslims and Christians and so on and so forth.

3) No definition of Christian. The Nicene Creed and Trinity doctrine are the only things holding keeping all the denominations and Churches from killing each other. These two seemingly useless documents of faith have kept Christianity together since 325! Why the dumping? They defined what a Christian was then and define it today.

I'm sorry, but I can just see this whole place becoming a pit of anarchy and overall evil.

Well, I was specifically referring to the Executive team.

I agree with your point, though.

I'm not uncomfortable with it either, but I don't see it as change. That's all.

With this forum, you have to be a grateful servant, even if you work your tail off, get nailed to a cross, and none of your friends stay with you.

It's called being a Christian.

First post you say you're being dismissed, the next you say you're quitting. Which is it, man? Be clear!
I am quitting because I am being dismissed.

No really I mean it. I won't participate in a popularity contest, which is what is necessary if I stay, therefore I quit now before I am inevitably dismissed.

Look folks,

As a Quaker I can tell you that discussion in the Society of Friends is ... Robust! That does not mean that there is not control of it BUT THAT THE CONTROL is gentle and based on the belief that all human beings share the divine light.

If we treat each other robustly but with respect and joy this new CF will work well. If we decide before it has even started that it is terrible then it simply will not work for anyone.

How about we trust God to be in the workings?

That's so true ..... being a servant.... sometimes its all about what goes on behind the scenes, in PMs....
