I
t's not so much discussion that is dividing us as it is poor behavior.
agree with you here


It's one thing to share your concerns with others about what's happening in the SDA church, and quite another thing to spam the boards with all kinds of hateful rhetoric that is directed at the SDA church and Ellen White.
define hateful.
"I hate ellen white". that is a hate filled opinion. "Ellen White is a false prophet" is a fact base statement. I think Ellen is a false prophet is a personal opinion"

I am concerned that you my be trying to shut down Daryl fawcett

In all fairness to the Traditionals, I don't blame them for not wanting to put up with this anymore. But I still think the best thing for us to do is to enforce rules that are more definitive, that will discourage people from behaving in a certain manner, lest they get banned from the forum for a time, or permanently.
i agree that personal attack should be punished. put not personal prefrence NO

my i ask what is the issue that you have with Daryl Fawcett? it seems you have a problem with him

Danny Shelton is a man with feelings. To shame him publicly is not becoming for a Christian to do.

If Daryl has issues with Danny, then he should address Danny in private. For him to come in here and other places, posting all kinds of bad things about Danny is just wrong.

He is trying to destroy this man. This is not something that Jesus would do.

Do you know if daryl has tried to do that?

the bible process is

a. go to him first
b. the bring 1 or 2
c. then take it to the chruch

I believe daryl as done this? He is now going to the body.

May I ask what do you think of Linda Shelton? and why?

Here's what I don't get Jon. You obviously do not like us, so why is it so important to keep us around?
Why the continued reference to you and us? Do you really like the picture this is showing? I doubt it. There is only one SDA denomination so there can be only one SDA forum within the present structure of CF. Nothing prevents anyone of us from starting our own website.

Why is it so important to you guys that the Traditionals be put in a position to debate with you?
Traditionals don't have to debate. I am presently part of another forum in which I and others of like mind regularly debate with the editor of the Sabbath School quarterly and he has never asked that the forum be divided. You have been in the church for less than 15 years and you think that you know what it means to be a Seventh-day Adventist. Consider the peril of your position.

Majority still rules, we voted on that already, so whatever majority rule is on the new polls, that's what we'll have.
I'm sorry to disappoint you. Law still rules. An invalid poll remains invalid no matte how many participate in it. Under current rules of order I can't even begin to think how this poll gets to the floor. There would first have to be a CF-wide poll to determine whether existing forums can be divided before the SDA forum can go forward with a poll to divide. Either we are governed by laws or by a mob mentality.

But he's not taking it to the church. He is posting it in a public domain for all the world to see. It is quite vicious to do something of this nature.

As for Linda, I feel the same way. People shouldn't talk about her personal life in a public domain.

We need to respect the privacy of these people.

Here's what I don't get Jon. You obviously do not like us, so why is it so important to keep us around?

If there were a separate forum, you'd still have debates, if that's what you guys think you're going to be missing.

Hardly any Progressives believe in evolution...only one that I know of. Maco disagrees with the Trinity as most on here define it.

People (other Christians) are still going to come in and debate the Sabbath, etc. in your forum as well as ours.

You don't need us for debate. This is a huge forum with lots of other Christians and very few denominations hold Adventism to a high regard.

You seriously don't need us for debate, but for some strange reason you guys want to be able to debate with US.

Why?

Actually, I like you just fine. Even if you aren't traditional. And I like most traditionals just fine.

One big issue is the SDA church, and how it is prseented. Is there a Catholic forum here for those who don't agree with Vatican 2? This is rediculous, and no other denomination even requests such a thing (I Think). In fact, many of the forums are for groups of churchs, it is amazing that we have our own.

B
ut he's not taking it to the church
i believe they already tried that approach. but danny is to powerful. for them to act against and the chruch is morally weak right now. contrary to what we would like to believe it is very polotical and God does not always get his way. so why do you still object?

.
He is posting it in a public domain for all the world to see.
Danny has publicly used 3abn to publicly announce the he personal problem and use the resources to attack linda. I have seen this first hand. Danny has posted on various forum stating his views of linda. so if Danny is using this method Why is to wrong for Daryl to repost it?? Daryl has been very responsible to only post first hand statments.

It is quite vicious to do something of this nature.
Is it vicious to try to stop some one from hurting someone else? and do so by using the same methods they are?

As for Linda, I feel the same way. People shouldn't talk about her personal life in a public domain.
Are you aware that both Linda and Danny are posting personal information in public spaces? That means they want you to know.

We need to respect the privacy of these people
. if both Danny and Linda wanted privacy shouldn't they stop talking about it?

do you think that Linda should be Divorced and publically humilated, based on danny's word alone?


So you think that Linda should be stripped of ownership of 3abn because of Danny's accusation and left with next to nothing. Do you think she should be stolen from?

Do you think there should be church discipline?

What do think is to account for the lack of action on the part of the church?
