Thou Shalt Not Make Unsubstantiated Charges

Hi Gang,

This is just a reminder for some, a blueprint for new users. We do not permit charges to be leveled about anyone, from the lay to the Bishopric, on this discussion board.

It is not the purpose of the board to take shots at people who do not have a chance to face those who make the accusation.

It is hard, if not impossible to prove identity on the internet, so our working rule of thumb has to be, charges, allegations, hints of inpropriety and anything else that might be deemed character assasination will not be permitted as part of a discussion.

I will delete these threads as quickly as I am made aware of them and I urge all of the regular users to help me stay informed when such an infraction occurs.

There are more than enough issues for us to take a stance on. We do not need to elevate any person, be they leader or follower, as a whipping boy (or woman).

I eliminated several posts today. I hope these posts appeared because the author did not know the house rules. For that reason, I am reposting the house rules here today and will continue to periodically repost them so new users will know the discussion group's standard operational procedures.

I thank you both for your help and your compliance.

Yours in Christ,

Rev. John
