This is a post to '' all '' Members signed on this board.
Dear new members please sign on and introduce yourself. We would love to hear from you and get a chance to meet you.
The board rules and the letter that Bro Ben e-mails out says, to introduce yourself so we can meet our new members.
You do not have to be a member to read, we might change that in the future to active members only. This is a discussion group. We would like to hear from the people registered with this board.
We do understand that people are busy, some of our members have told us they are very busy, but they do pop on and post fairly often. Thank you. We appreciate you.
Others sign on as a member and never sign on again. They get deleted, because Bro Ben wants the members to be active, we do not want the numbers to say we have more members than we actually have posting on this ''discussion group.''
Others sadly to say are members and hardly ever get on to post or discuss anything, but they come on often and check their PM's, rarely taking the time to post...these are what we call faithful PMers. Up until now we have not had the heart to delete their membership, but that might soon change.
This is a discussion board and we expect our members to come on and post when they can...if they can check PM's they can post and contribute. At least encourage those needing prayer. I needed prayer for my dear mama and no one ever posted that they would pray...that hurts, there were members on that day reading or checking PM's. That prayer request was important to me, my mama does not have a close church family, she just goes and gets lost in the crowd, shes active, but people do not really seem to reach out or care, I was the only one praying for her (and my husband and children.) It would have comforted me to know my friends , brethren were praying.
We need one another. I know of another board member that feels as I do, they have posted something important in the past and gotten either an ill response, or no response at all. Once she poured out her heart and a bunch of sisters, and a brother I think, got on and attacked what she was saying, they totally misunderstood her. I was not able to be on back then because of having no computer for 6 months.
Since I came back in Nov 2008 the board has changed alot, not for the better, alot of good posters are gone or rarely get on, I'm not exactly sure what has happened, we use to have a good, godly, loving group of people here who posted often and interacted well with each other. We have had bad apples and even bad couples in the past, come in and stir up ill feelings, quirky teachings, and bad doctrine, but they have left and been gone for quite a while.
I wish some of our good old members would come back...I miss them.
We do want to give a word of thanks for the faithful members, who do get on and contribute to this site, and are a blessing to Bro Ben and me, and others who read your posts.
As for the new members I look forward to meeting you...Please sign in and feel free to post and discuss your thoughts on relevant topics.
We had 974 guest in the last 24 hours! Thats alot! You do not need to be a member to read...but you do need to post to be a member.
Remember we are not a PM service we are a ''discussion group!''
Happy posting!
Bro Ben and sister Darlene
