LOL...I got "moderated" twice already...

[SHINY4UJESUS]

So I "moonlight," a bit so to speak on another Christian forum site...haha. So far, I have been moderated twice:
Once for posting a review on my book in the book review forum...apparently since I authored it, I have no right to post any review, mine or another's on it. Warning one yay!!!
The other time, I was asked what a good Christian Author/book was for depression. I gave her the name of a couple Joyce Meyer books and stated that Joyce Meyer authored them specifically to combat depression. Apparently I offended their "laws," again in directly replying to a this question. Warning two yayyyyyy!!!

Now moderators and admin are trying to have some kinda "intervention," all ganging up and brow-beating. I get the need for structure and protocols; but this seems a tad much for honest errors, directed out of love, grace and a willingness to edify...LOL. I simply point out that if their intention is to quickly, harshly, and heavy-handed-ly mete out discipline for obedience to direct scriptural commandment; then by the fruit of each originating action one can see where loyalties lay. Legalities are to be observed, and I get that; but that does not grant license to "gang-tackle," a believer spiritually. In any event, I will just keep responding in grace. Either way they will eventually give up or boot me out...LOL.

You'll be fortunate not to be banned if that was your rec.

This site has terms of service TOS ... http://christianforums.net/Fellowship/index.php?pages/terms-of-service/

Every site i have been to has TOS in some form. Rules guidelines etc.. check them out..

 

[SHINY4UJESUS]

I do, and I did. In the one instance their specifically adapted in forum guidelines pertinent to said forum were not very concise and left a lot of "wriggle-room," for loose interpretation. Since other posts followed this type of trend, and since it didn't appear to be a clear violation of statutes as stated; I was a bit befuddled. Trust me, I know all about TOS. Everything done with prudence always has its "CYA," clause...aka TOS. This way when folks act contrary there is a standard set and clearly represented in a publically accessed domain. I get that...LOL. Remember how cautious I was here? Asking for permissions regarding things? Direction? Counsel? After the first redirection about "self-promotion," (unintentional,) I ceased and played it safe did I not? Which btw I have yet to see a response as to whether I can yet officially plug the ministry... and to what parameters must I adhere to ensure no policy is broken in the bus. forum. If you recall I did send the entire conversation transcript regarding the ministry site, my convo with eugene, and the reworking of the donation tab text

Let's not get too proud about pushing limits. Even if it is on another site.

I was a member of CF.com prior to coming here and ran into a number of issues, which is why I left.

BTW, SHINY4UJESUS, have you tried posting the business forum? Once you have a minimum of 20 posts under your belt you can start promoting things in that forum.

 

[SHINY4UJESUS]

I apologize for the misunderstanding KNOT; I may be tongue-in-cheek in effort to keep a lighter feel to the situation, but I take no joy in anything that causes contention. I'm not really even contending with them, LOL. I'm simply not agreeable to misappropriated doctrines, and they don't like this so much. I fear it has greatly jaded their approach. But all I can do is speak life and mean well; what they do is on them.

Not a problem.

Take a look at the section of the forum I mentioned. Many of us have promoted other side projects we are working on in there.

 

[SHINY4UJESUS]

yeah I know Knot, me n Eugene n Reba kinda had a powwow on such. This being the case, I will await clear and concise reply regarding it from the ADMIN side. I do respect your position and tenure, as well as the graceful spirit...I just wish to observe what's proper and make a determination sought from admin come from admin eh.

 

[Papa Zoom]

I had trouble on another site and left because they over moderate. I said I though Hillary was evil and then stated why and got a warning for flaming and goading. Seriously.

 

[SHINY4UJESUS]

yeah this one is "Grace-Centered.com" ironically named in my book. I observed the process their guidelines suggest to appeal a moderation and have been banned for so doing. Apparently even doing it their way is offensive..LOL

 

[Corn Pop]

Joyce?, you mean Joyce who has taken millions from the church and purchased her own private jet?.

You mean Joyce who preaches in her for profit book that Christ payed for my sins in hell not on the cross?.

I think I know of her. The crooked one sure does come as an angel of light to try decieve the masses.

 

[JohnDB]

One thing I do know...
Joyce doesn't actually write her own books.
There is a ghost writer. Paid well...but.
Sometimes Joyce doesn't even read the books she supposedly writes.

She is a brand name business. She isn't the person so many claim her to be. Golden furniture and antiques abound in her office and residence. I can't imagine Jesus approving of such luxury for her while others are sleeping on dirt floors.

But the books are pretty much solid information...a little basic but they probably won't help.

 

[SHINY4UJESUS]

Yeah I suppose I would refer to the ''thief," in question. But I wouldn't disqualify the scriptural applications of proper principles just because she is disqualifying herself from grace. Also, part of the penalty for sin was the fact we were eternally damned to hell. He spent time under the pall of death and awaiting resurrection, thus Christ did literally endure a "timeless," period in hell-since the Spirit knows no time, and is not constrained to await the earthly end for there to be a particular "hell," in the first place. Now this in and of itself is a can of worms..for what is hell? Is it a literal place when a Spirit is not constrained to "space,'' or merely an 'existence,'? These things I suppose are subject for debate, but one could easily contend that one element alone of Christ's suffering isn't the solitary manner in which Christ ''paid," for our sins. One can argue that simply living a sinless life in spite of the suffering that alone entailed was part of the payment otherwise the end result is vain. One can contend that the torture and abuse leading up to the cross were equally payment. One can contend that a temporary reservation in hell was equally payment. While the finished work on the cross was the determining catalytic factor; it is not the sole factor in Christ's work but a resounding closing statement. I don't much care who thinks what of Joyce, if she is as she professes or if she is the devil himself,(though Hillary is giving Joyce a run for her money there,) I take these things with a grain of salt; for we can even learn from evil as long as our intention and direction remain Christ!

 

[SHINY4UJESUS]

Yeah so I created a second acct by an unassociated email address...and built up about 30 ish posts, various likes, etc. Then I simply asked in one of the forums what was up with that SHINY dude, and why staff were so upset at him...within seconds that acct was banned just for asking what happened....LOL...Grace-Centered indeed...
