Upon your advise Frienduff, watchful , are you working with George? This is really a simple question that 777 asked you watchful I do not understand why you did not just dismiss this if it was not true, and if it is, why not just say so? These are the kind of things I hate to see fester for nothing.

Upon your advise Frienduff, watchful , are you working with George? Well I'm afraid I can't agree brother. We should rather admonish one another to exercise discernment out of a sincere heart, rather than plying each other with insinuating questions out of a suspicous and wrongly motivated heart. Otherwise it's too much like having a form of godliness without the power.

We can pray for them of course, but we can't solve their problem for them.

I'm mystified. What does "working for George" have to do with the subject matter at hand? How has such a thing become an accusation against sister watchful? I'm reminded of how the Word made flesh didn't always furnish His accusers with an answer. They sought to lay snares with words but the Lord avoided them all. Some "questions" surely don't warrant an answer. Isn't this forum supposed to be an online church? If this is how you treat the visitor in your midst then I implore you to examine such conduct before the Lord bearing in mind the scripture, Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. (Matthew 15:11)

Lets all move past this fast . everyone has made mistakes and wrongs , and the idea is we need to forigve and move forward fast , or satan will gain an advantage . His time is short and he cometh to isolate lambs so as he can destroy them . Lets move past this grease lightning fast . lets start fresh and new and not look back .

Yes, and we do have it under control. One thing I promise everyone is that I will do everything in my power to see to it that everyone is treated fair. Being only human, I can make mistakes at times, but I will always try to fix them or own up to them. I am subject to the Lord Jesus Christ, and I always try to keep that in mind when dealing with situations that arise here.

I've witnessed all I need to see, friend. Sister watchful harmed no one. I'm confused: how were wrongs committed by "everyone?" Who leveled the accusation against whom? According to your own information this forum is an "online church." Who makes the call between moderation activity and the love between brethren? I've been silent since joining because I wanted to learn all I could before reaching a judgment as to whether or not I have fellowship with you. What I've read here in this thread isn't the first time sister watchful has been accosted by members of your church. What does this say about discipline and self-control, both of which are fruits of the Spirit? That's not evident here. I'll leave you all to your reward.

You were not here when Watchful attacked members of this forum and stormed out, before signing up again with no apologies to anyone. It was done in public, so I have no reason to cover this up. I still have the entire text of what she did and said. There has been wrong doing by people that you would have no way of knowing. There is a history that you are unaware of.

Who makes the decisions of what is allowed and how we deal with it? I started the forum, so I do. I have created a TOS and SOF, and I do my best to operate based on those things. While I am the highest one in authority among individuals, I look to Jesus as my head, and try to do things to the best of my ability as I believe he would approve. I do not care what church, message board, or whatever one is at, there is a structure of authority. In my judgement, what was said to Watchful was slightly accusatorial, but everything was in the form of questions. In the first instance, it was a question about her doctrine, and in the second, it was a question about her connections. They were not outright accusations, and they could have been easily dealt with by a simple yes or no answer. I see nothing that was said by 777 that was that egregious, and I am ultimately the one who makes that call. He never violated out TOS or SOF, and that is what I go by.

Our reward is His love. His approval. However, I do believe He favors the ones unashamed of their true natures-- the lambs, rams, Lions, and Angel's.
