Well, you had better work it out with him in PM, because he is only setting himself up for attack and more reports if you guys try to work through the issue in the D&D area where it is open season and the reporting Trad wolves can pounce on Free at thier leisure.

Free would be simply foolish to agree to that.

Why you may ask as if you don't already know?

Because the spirit of prophecy quotes reflect Adventist doctrine and they are officially considered inspired writing.
And when they disagree with Scripture you're still sticking with them...:thumbsup: Got it!

They don't merely 'reflect' SDA doctrine. They are the very basis for it. She is the infallible interpreter of Scripture for the SDA church.

In CHRIST alone...

No they don't. They are in harmony.

Adventist doctrines were formed by the pioneers through prayers and careful bible studies. Study the pioneers' statements on this. You are wrong.

There has to be some way we can lobby for a rule that does not allow reporting in here. I mean, why come in here if you know you are going to be offended? Why!!? WHY!!?? It makes absolutely no sense. I could find about a hundred things in the Trad area that I could easily report in a matter of about 10 minutes. But I don't.

Maybe I should start.

Seriously getting fed up with this place and sick to death of the intolerance and hate. Been wondering why I even bother coming here anymore lately. :sigh:

Well, at least we have Tall's forum.

Actually, I have to agree with you there, Night. *gasp* ;)

I know people who have left entire forums (or social gatherings offline) because they either do not like the discussions going on there, or they feel offended by the behaviour. Sure, some may stay around a bit and try to change things..but most cases it's better just to walk away and wipe the dust off your feet. :)

If people don't want to change, it's a waste of everyones time to try and change them. This goes for reporting, too.

Is reporting wrong? No. And I do believe in many cases the posts being reported are valid complaints. But if you know there's a high chance you will be offended or upset when you enter a section of the forum, why bother? It just causes uneeded stress when you have to read it and report it.

The only people responcible for keeping this place civil are the Mods. Reporting is helpful, yes, but it's not members' jobs to try and clean the board up. ;) Even though I know many may disagree.

Take Woob for example (Hope he doesn't mind me saying this). He spent a lot of time really upset by things that went on in this board ,but since he was banned he's completely flourished in his life. He seems really happy now that he doesn't have the burden he placed on himself to deal with problems here. :)

I think we could all benefit from spending less time pointing fingers at each other and each others' beliefs, and more time being productive for God in helping those who feel they actually need help.

So, my strategy..If I don't like what goes on somewhere, it doesn't deserve what little time I have on this earth. If someone asks for my help or opinion and is willing to listen, great! That's where God'd rather have me. ;)

Braveheart is one of my Medieval heros. It is because of his death and the later declaration of indepedence from Scotland that encouraged the American Revolution. Without William Wallace we may never have had a United States of America.
'No taxation without representation' if the wealthy planter class had seats in Parliaments etc then the USA would be like Canada. It did not take Wallace to make America it took a silly English government.

It's getting close. The consensus is three to one for my fourth infraction in the reports. Should be a done deal by tomorrow. I will be sure to let you guys know when it officially comes through.

The spite-reporters and certain corrupted Trad mods have done thier work well. My neck is on the chopping block. It's just a matter of the blade falling now. :cool:

They got rid of Senti and now me. Any one of you could be next. The Trads will not stop until they have totally dominated this forum and gotten rid of every last one of us.

Like I said before, I regret nothing and I take nothing back. I would do it all over again.

True but he was an encouragement for the American revolution. Also a Declaration done soon after the Scottish war for Indpendence had a significant impact on our Declaration of Independence. The silly English government of course was to blame. They were to blame during the Scottish war of Independence.

The consensus is now in. It's now just a matter of the official vote being given.

My hours are numbered.

*tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock...* :D

Senti, are you keeping the time-out bleacher warm for me?
Looking at the world as a whole, spirituality, world religions, governments, all of the problems, atrocities, and calamities, etc...it seems completely ridiculous how frivolous the 'rule enforcement' is here in cyber space. "You're not allowed to think any differently than we think!" God in their box!

HINT: HE INVENTED BOXES! HE FITS IN NONE!

In CHRIST alone...
