Roll Call

[GraceSeeker]

Well, Presbyterians are one thing, but the last time we mixed Anglicans and Methodists together, some folk went off and started their own church.

Are you meaning the Methodist church itself or some later church?

It was in response to what you had said:

Me - Anglican, Methodist heart (kinda like the Wesleys I guess!).

The idea being that if we got picky and excluded you just because you're Anglican, that Wesley's Parish would have to exclude Wesley as well. But I couched it in terms of what happened when the Anglican priest, Mr. Wesly, developed a Methodist heart forming all those Methodist societies within the Church of England. Let it ferment a few years, foment a little more during a revolution, and the net result is that the Methodists left the Church of England to form a new church of their own. Wesley didn't want it, but he's the one who made it happen.

(Note: It probably wasn't funny to anyone else. Sorry. I just happen to have a very convulted sense of humor. And see little ironies in all sorts of that few other even bother to notice.)

From what I've read in other forums, the reason for a roll call or requiring members have a certain icon was related to limiting the voting to actual members of the forum who participate there, and to eliminate voting by people who were there to manipulate or sabotage, rather than to exclude people from participating in multiple folders. In fact, I don't believe the roll call here prohibits or limits us from participating where we desire at all.

There is one folder I was inactively participating in, there were tons of problems it appeared because people would ask others to vote for them even though those people didn't participate in that folder, which of course swayed whatever voting was going on and it wasn't fair to active members. Thankfully I haven't seen that much, but for that reason, I can see the reason for asking for a roll call.

Just my thoughts on this.

Agreed.

I don't know that anyone would come along to try to sabbatoge us. Seriously, we are sooooo laid back it's hardly worth the effort. But, I guess it's better to have things in place just in case.

Now using multiquote

'Tis true.

The other day I went to the doctor's office and couldn't decide what book to take to read. I packed Wesley's 44 Sermons, "Salvation is from the Jews" by Shoeman and "The Four Loves" by CS Lewis! I ended up reading the Bible that was already there.

This made me smile...funny how that happens.
