I found a random repuation thread, people just give out random reps, im trying to make it so it's not so random there, so that people have to give out a nice comment along with their reps, support, motivation, kind words, common interest, "i like ur name", "like ur avatar" just something so it's not here's a free repuation, but kind words to go along with them.
Emma's used to be the rep thread, but people would come on just to get rep, so Emma's broke off from repping, and now they have a new rep thread. I'm sure most of the people don't want much but a higher number, but it's worth a try and I'll help all I can!

Good sermon BInC! Now, you just have to make it web friendly and shrink it down so people actually read it :) I like the end especially, just change it to "How to give love" as opposed to get :p
Alright. I will get on that and post the final draft up here, but I have a concert tomorrow night so if I don't finish tonight it won't be done till tuesday. Either way, I put it up here for final review.

I'm liking the sermon so far, I'm not exactly big on how to go about writing things like that, but i like it nontheless, i think it will be a big impact...I wonder how easy it will be to monitor changes in how things go about here, I ownder how long it will take before we see effects. I think we have an awesome plan, and I can't wait to see the finished product. I have to admit at first I thought this was kinda dumb, but the more I look around, the more I see this isn't a joke. Right now in school were working on Mass Media, it's the whole idea of marketing showing people products, getting information spread to many people, maybe i can use some things from that idk. THis could get very tricky.
I also think it might be good for us to get to know each other somehow and who all is involved... I'm dastangman (i like ford mustangs), but i g2g buh bye, ill be back tomorrow night...not sure what time...im a busy person as we all are...but we really need to know more about each other...good luck throughout the night and tomorrow on this, ill be using study halls to plan somethings. see ya

It is a good idea for us to get to know eachother. We just got to keep in mind that this isn't about us agreeing on everything, its about us showing everyone that even if we don't agree we still need to show eachother love.

I live in southeast Kansas, and I attend the First Christian Church, Disciples of Christ. If you haven't heard of that denomination, it is basically an attempt at a non-denominational denomination. We try to agree on the fundamentals, and allow people freedom on the finer points. No written doctrine but the bible as far as I know. I go to our youth group (currently studying the purpose driven life). I also go to the youth group of a church in a nearby town. It has a very large attendance, so we started a separate group called hardcore that goes deeper into the word than we can with all the people who haven't yet decided to follow christ. I'm a senior in a high school with 80 people and a senior class of 17, and I want to be be a physicist and a youth pastor. I like christian rock, oldies, and classical. My current favorite artist is probably Wilson Pickett.

How's that for an introduction. ;)

Well, I am Orthodox :)

(And then it gets weird) I am Imperator Bizzlebin Primvs Antarcticae. In English, that is Emperor Bizzlebin I of Antarctica. (Weirder) I am thinking of giving it up to become a bishop in the Church. Not sure yet. (Weirdest) I have a lot of experience in battling. Keep focused on Jesus. If you try to fight against the demons directly instead of focusing on Jesus and loving others, you can get physcially attacked. I almost died. Big no no.

So that's just a snippet of me. Bedtime :wave:

Alright my turn, I'm Landon (last names secret.) I live in Iowa, a small town, but with a great passion for football, which is one of my primary sports, that and soccer. I want to be an architect, I'm not sure how to incorporate my job in christ as much as a pastor, but you don't have to be in with the church to be a christian. I guess I'm a charismatic christian, I don't see really any certain one way that a person MUST live, but we accept everyone, and try to simply lead people to christ no different then other churches of any denomination. I like seeing long term effects, thinking things through, which is a big reason why I joined this little ordeal. No matter how people try to dismiss this, you just can't, and if we could see long term effects, then things would be bad if thigns continued as they are. Which brings me to my next point:
A goal: I think it would be good to have a one sentence goal, stating exactly what we want for an outcome, how we can somwhat monitor it, and of course a proecdure of how to get there. I guess I could monitor things, just tell me what to monitor and I'll do my best...

Oh yeah, and I don't think the rep page where you say something nice really worked. People repped me still but without comments. I have no way to monitor how well the Pay It Forward is going, I haven't recieved any word back, even though the one person is quote unquote an online freind, i figured she would at least PM and tell me something about something idk. But, the "post something nice about the person above you" seem to be working perfectly.

Yeah. The rep thread is primarily a selfish place now :( It wasn't at first, but it is now.

MAJOR OFFENSIVE:

Within the last hour, heavy love bombing raids have commenced on all congregational forums. Nearly 100 "Pass the Blessings" have been sighted, leaving sheer peace and harmony in their paths. The bombing is expected to continue throughout the next hour, while the effects remain to be seen :)

That was a good idea. But like you said, many people will probably not know exactly how they compare to others. Also, we need to get a pretty big sample size for the results to be applied to such a large forum.
We don't need a sizable sample, just a repesentative one.
