I disagree you can't go back and change the voting system just cos you dont like the results. Your facists tendencies are showing......I thought in the new rules Sophia posted that only 'regulars' could come in and vote. So many of the liberals were recruited by Ice to come and out number the SDA's. The very reason why this rule was put in place was to avoid what actually has happened!!
I believe this poll should be declared invalid.
* Participation in the development of General Rules is encouraged by all membership. However, participation in Sub Forum rules should be limited to those members who regularly post in those categories.
Most of the people who voted in this poll have not been here for over a year.
I've said from the beginning that either way this poll went, it would be for the betterment of this forum.
I'm just wondering what some of you think "stricter rules to prevent personal attacks" really means?
There won't be any of this allowed anymore, period.
It would be nice to see some constraint used NOW, before it's a rule.
I beg your pardon, with all do respect, dont speak to me in that manner!Yes good timing, its called democracy, you don't like it? Too bad. Beside what do I believe, you seem to have amazing mind reading abilites so come on tell me what do I moicherie believe that is so different from 'mainstream' adventism?
Last I checked you and no one on here as a monopoly on the Adventist name, btw the name won't get you into heaven so why be so territorial about it? I look forward to the second coming of Jesus and observe Saturday as the Sabbath. Perhaps you do not hence you wish for someone like me to disappear? If we split we split, the world will not come to an end based on what happens on this forum no matter how some people rant and rave. I was asked for a vote and so I voted, you don't like the way I vote well thats democracy baby!
Are you afraid of the voting principle or something? You come across as a baby throwing toys out of a pram.
I thought being an Adventist meant being a follower of Christ and looking forward to His second coming? Anyone can follow church rules does not make them a follower of Christ. Remember the Jews that killed Jesus were 'good church going, rule following Jews'. Keep holding unto 'a church name' in this life cos you sure can't take it with you in the next.I beg your pardon, with all do respect, dont speak to me in that manner!
I was saying what i said because you have not been here in a long time. I found it very suspect the moment we talk about splitting, the progressive side goes and recruits old members to come and vote to alter the outcome. The voting lately has been for people who post regularly. I believe that counts you out, since you dont come here regularly. If you dont like it, to bad. THAT is what I was getting at. And for the record, i have no problem with democracy!
And as for being territorial over a name. You betcha i am sister! I hold dear to the name Seventh Day Adventist and what it means! I uphold the name by following and believing the 28 fundamentals. That is what it means to be an Adventist! To believe and follow the set beliefs. If you dont like all the beliefs, with all do respefct, then change your affiliation.
This is true if this is simply a casual vote just for information which because it was put up without discussion of the formation of the poll is really the only way it can be taken.To those who are concerned about the validity of this poll because it did not first go to the Wiki, it is not invalid.
The Wiki exists for the purpose of establishing rules for our forum. Voting on a split in the SDA forum does not really constitute the making of a rule.
Therefore, I don't see what the Wiki has to do with this.
I am sure i will be hearing the words from the Lord saying well done faithful servant when i get to heaven.I thought being an Adventist meant being a follower of Christ and looking forward to His second coming? Anyone can follow church rules does not make them a follower of Christ. Remember the Jews that killed Jesus were 'good church going, rule following Jews'. Keep holding unto 'a church name' in this life cos you sure can't take it with you in the next.

She may very well believe you are a fascist but she did not call you a fascist. She said your fascist tendencies are showing. Tendencies, not qualities. Once rules are written people always find a way.Now you call me a fascist because I posted a voting rule??
If you people spent as much energy changing the world for the better as you do trying to make each other feel bad I don't doubt there's anything you couldn't accomplish. If Jesus is really up there he must be facepalming right now because you've forgotten everything he ever said. No one said you had to agree, but it's really painful to see you ripping at each other's throats.
Just two cents from an ex-Adventist (wow, wasn't sure if my post would show up here).
I think that's what he shows.And now you're an Atheist?

Thank you sentipente. I am realising a few members seem to operate on a different level of written English than myself hence my words and intents are totally misinterpreted.She may very well believe you are a fascist but she did not call you a fascist. She said your fascist tendencies are showing. Tendencies, not qualities. Once rules are written people always find a way.
Any time.Thank you sentipente.
Post number 245 is a lesson on politeness?Now you call me a fascist because I posted a voting rule??
Wow--you do have issues don't you moi.
And by your nasty attack on HAPPY--you sure prove yourself girl.
Happy has not been one bit rude with you and you attack her like a mad dog.
I think you better go back to your BSDA forum and leave well enough alone. You are only adding to the problems here.
Now I understand were the initial split came from, but as you can see there is not really a need for a divide, we all discuss and debate at BSDA and disagree but still care for each other at the end of the day, we have set aside the hate and racor for the most part and get along. Why cannot this be so here......
I don't understand this obsession with BSDA?RED? So YOU are part of the BSDA's too? Interesting.
