This is SECTION TWO.
DRAFT Four
Discussion of Subjects
I wrote it out exactly as it was. I think it needs much work.
I saved it as a PDF file and it should look better....
Right now we're working on the actual content.
Pay no attention to grammar or spelling errors.

P.S. for StoveBolts
I DID add the point about not using foul language, etc. which was taken out of Section One: Behavior.
Truthfrees
I didn't use my old Word program.
I used Apache --- legally free off the net !
It's possible to "export to pdf" under File.
it worked! I had to make very minor adjustments on here.
I can't remember if I told you this so you could also stop all the testing....
Section Two needs a lot of work. If StoveBolts gives me the go-ahead I'll fix it --- but he needs to see it first.
Don't go away!!!

Actually, there isn't much in this entire section where I like the wording. It's all geared at past arguments where conversations had to get shut down because the conversations got out of control.
Catholic doctrines should be allowed, but not for the purpose of debate or creating division.
Doctrines and theologies where heretical sources such as the book of Mormon, Gospel of Thomas, Enoch etc are the backbone of said theologies, those should remain. There has to be a way of rewording these.

I think Truthfrees did a great job.
Do you mean to abolish all of section two as it stands and redo it from scratch?
You'd have to be specific about which numbers you want eliminated and which you want changed. Only YOU know what you'd like it to say...
Then we could get to work on the wording --- I love how Truthfrees expresses thoughts.
What do you think?
This should work for the latest version.
If it comes up in Italian, just change the language at the upper right hand corner.

settle down, im talking about books that have historically been rejected as heresy.
Basically, using the word explicit in this context means that we are required to remain vague in everything we post.
If StoveBolts agrees, we could add sexually explicit -- I think this is what is means.
That is more explicit.

Two thoughts on restricting material to be talked about.
1). If we can talk about the material in a civil and understanding way then keeping the subjects open can be used as a teaching tool. To confront what is s right and what is wrong openly and remove misunderstandings, as well as explain how a religous content is wrong.
However, that's a big if to fill that condition. If we stay civil and understanding. I think there's wisdom in acknowledging where a subject is consistently leading to division.
2). 2 Timothy 2:14-19, 23-26, and Titus 3:9-11 all talk about avoiding useless bickering, even to name a few of the subjects that lead into those arguments, as well as what to do with a divisive person.
I don't know the right path for divisive subjects and divisive content, because I think they are a struggle for many people so confronting them and being open to talk about them is worth it to edifying, encouraging and correcting. However Paul gave his advise to avoid these quarrels to both Timothy and Titus. That's not something to ignore when we look at modern day divisive issues.
Being always ready to teach, correct, and give our testimony, while at the same time avoiding the divisive subjects isn't a balance I know how to do. Both points are there in the bible. For constructing the TOS on restricted content, I'll just trust you guys on what content is restricted and what isn't. Though I'd like to be able to understand Catholic beliefs and traditions more, so having that as an open subject is something I'd be ok with. I honestly don't know much except that they are Christian too, have much of Christianity's history protected and persevered, and apparently are a very divisive topic and rejected by many Protestant Christians.
Either way. Those three verses on division was really all I had to contribute. Good luck guys.

IF StoveBolts could make this into the type of forum he envisions, we'd be able to talk about ANYTHING!
I agree with you about discussing Catholicism. I always felt very restricted when we couldn't discuss it before except in the end times forum --- I don't even know much about end times but a lot about the doctrine.
I feel like it's not the subject that causes the bickering, but people. I'm sure about this because some persons are so sarcastic and nasty that it brings out the worse in people and it takes a lot of self-control to speak to them. Sometimes I just stop speaking to them --- maybe we should add that somewhere?
Anyway, you have some good points.
