Yeah, but do you think it should be allowed? Forrest is yelling at me for freedom of speech but yet he doesn't seem to be interested in what I have to say. I smell a hypocrite. :/
Actually you are the hypocrite. If you count the number of your inane posts on CB, you exceed everyone else by a long shot. And Forrest has not asked you to cease and desist.

But you do not like being set straight. And it is indeed necessary to set things straight on a public forum, where who knows how many need to distinguish truth from error.

For all those opposed to a free expression of ideas: you are no better than the censors in Communist lands who censor everything contrary to the party line, or the censors on Big Tech social media who hate conservative and/or Christian speech. Anything that is not blatantly Leftist or plain lies must be suppressed at all costs. Hence Cancel Culture, the move to shut down Fox, Newsmax, OAN, Gateway Pundit, Infowars, etc. And all the masking worldwide is to tell people to wear a mask/muzzle and SHUT UP. Big Brother knows best!

We can be thankful that CB does not suppress even the most bizarre ideas, or people hogging the board. We can be thankful for Forrest, who only steps in if necessary.

America used to be summarized by, "I may not agree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."




Right,.. so why isn't the same kind of treatment and attitude being applied to those who choose to want to get the vaccine? And for the record I'm not trying to silence anybody, I'm trying to stop all the hate from the anti-vacciners just because they don't agree with it and don't want to take it and that's their own right,.. but it isn't their right to try and be controlling towards us.

And you're going on ignore because I've just about had enough of you and all of your so called facts. :rolleyes:

that's not what a Christian forum is supposed to be like of constantly walking on eggshells!!

There you have it!

Christians should not be attacking each other, and especially on these earthly matters. What kind of spread I put on my bread should not be a subject for denigration of our brothers and sisters!

Some people haven't learned how to be gracious. We all need a good example to follow!

Much love!

You're sounding like "free speech is violence" loons. No one is holding you hostage. Unless...

Consider you may have a social media addiction.

You don't need to apologize to me.

We all need soft hearts.

Much love!




Well I'm not apologizing for what I said as it was true I just shouldn't have said it and that's what I'm apologizing for.

@April_Rose
How do you tell the difference between an actual conspiracy and a conspiracy theory?




Does it make a difference? If it's just a bunch of stuff to frighten and upset people should it really be allowed on a Christian forum?

You know have you noticed that @Josho has liked my OP? That means he probably agrees with me about how whack and messed up this is too. People should be able to freely post about getting the shot without getting attacked and if @JohnDB was still an admin and in charge of this website he wouldn't allow this to happen because that's not what a Christian forum is supposed to be like of constantly walking on eggshells!!
We need to put on our marching boots and strap on all armour of GOD .
Sister , i get called all sorts of names . But my JOY is in the LORD so they cant take my peace .
IF we cannot handle opposition on a forum , how on earth are we gonna handle the real persecution
that is truly about to come against the very small percentage of true christains .
And some of it will even come from lots of lukewarm wordly christains as well against us .
Paul sang in prison , so did silas and scores of others . Let us be prepared to not be loved in this world .
And its gonna get worse .

Yesterday I took the second shot of the Moderna vaccine. After a two-week period, I will consider myself fully vaccinated. I will probably continue to wear a mask even then. As I understand it, it MIGHT be possible for a fully vaccinated person to pass on the virus even though they themselves are not at risk.
There are always those who will ride a motorcycle without a helmet, refuse to take a vaccine because they think it is the Mark of The Beast, and bark about us who get vaccinated for some reason or another.

It makes a huge difference.
A real conspiracy isn't just a bunch of stuff to make you frightened. The Bible speaks clearly and often of a single global government that will persecute and finally pass a death sentence upon all Christians. That is prophecy. It's God warning you too be prepared to lay aside all your trust in this world and it's institutions, and cleave only to Him. It is also warning you who your enemies are, their tactics, what they are planning to implement, and when.
The above then is fleshed out when you read the news. Not from conspiracy web sites or mainstream media, but from the horse's mouth. When they're are powerful individuals stating openly what they plan to do in the near future... When you hear them telling you that certain organisations are onboard with their agenda... When these powerful individuals ( like Prince Charles, Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab and others) openly and proudly boast of their plans for you, your health, your bank balance, your possessions, your living arrangements, your religion and your work, and arrogantly proclaim to the world that they have the power and authority to control your life and your family, then April that is not a theory. It certainly is a conspiracy, but more than that. It's an open threat.
These power crazed insane people are also intimately linked to religion. They want a single global religion. It will be based in Rome... The Vatican. These things all line up with prophecy. And all of them are taking place as a speak. They are real, and they are imminent. We tell of these things to warn. Yes, they are frightening. It's scary stuff. The world is not the same as I grew up in. And it will never be the same again. We are hurtling full speed toward earth's final climactic history. Don't knock the conspiracy theorists. They are telling you what they see is coming because they are concerned for your welfare. You should be thanking them. Just be discerning between what they claim is coming and what is real.
There is some excellent sources on the internet as to what is in reality the signs of Christ's imminent return, and the conditions of the world immediately prior to that event.
Ask yourself this question. How much do you trust a world leader who is set to make millions from the vaccine, but who has admitted to wanting to implement a plan to reduce the world's population by 90%?
How much do you trust his friends who are leading the global movements to unite all religions under the same banner?
How much do you trust those who are members of secret societies, have siphoned off billions and billions of dollars from world economies to line their own pockets at your expense, and plan to dictate to you what possessions you should have, what God you should worship, and where you should live?
And when they say, they have only your best interests at heart, do you really believe them?

Hello,

I have been considering how I should enter into this thread.

There are many threads that should not have been started on this forum.

The Presidential Election of 2020 in the USA generated many posts and threads, with many outside of the USA expressing their opinion on something that they had no personal ability to change because they were not citizens of the USA, but they wanted to say their $0.0000000001 worth with respect to the fiasco that passed for the election propaganda sales pitch and what seemed to be a fraud controlled election process.

With respect to the pandemic, there were too many threads and posts which were based on pseudo science and conspiracy theories.

There were too many threads and posts which were encouraging open rebellion against the people in power within their respective countries.

With respect to "religious" threads, when people were called out because of their false theological understandings, they would become personal and attack you or they would report you for making them angry because their assertions with respect to Christianity was being questioned, in an attempt to shut you down. If you exposed the basis of their belief system, which was often not even biblically based, they worked very hard at getting your posts removed by any means possible.

But this is my experience on this board.

The administrators of any board forum, walk a very fine line between what is acceptable to post and what is the 2nd amendment privileges that people can enjoy.

Often, the hardest thing to find on a forum board are genuine people who have no axes to grind or pet "projects" to promote, who are actually being truthful in what they are posting. Even those who have ticked the Christian box often fall into this category.

How can we all work towards improving our presence on this forum board? Should we allow our hair trigger responses to dominate what we post.

I wonder how threads with titles like "Commentary thread on what @ . . . is posting in his tread ________." would be received on this forum? Would the creator of the thread being commended on in the new thread receive the commentary thread on his topic, respond harshly?

We have so many threads that should not have been started, as they bring on edification to the saints on this forum, even though the creator of these threads claims to be "Christian." Why would they cause others to focus on satanic story lines?

We, all the members of this board, have so much to do personally, to improve the aroma that emulates from this board on the internet.

Shalom

I know I'm sorry but he was making me mad.
Sister you know i love you . I have often read many posts that many folks do and keep silent .
But out of great love and concern for you i need to say this .
You get angry quite easy . Charity is not easily provoked . SO i had to make mention of this my dear sister .
Dont allow yourself to get so upset so easily . I love you dear sister . You know i do .
I am only trying to help . You are loved and prayed for as well sister . Let us learn
to be patient . Cause if we think words on a computer screen are rough , just wait
till folks scream at your face for presenting Christ and truth . Oh yes its happened to me before in person .
And by grace i took it patiently . Those who love are gonna correct for the sake of those in error .

"Can we please enforce a new rule"
Enforcing rules in order to establish someone's perception of righteousness, or to reduce the effects of what some find offensive behavior, was the downfall of the Christian Church in the 3rd to 5th centuries. "Everyone must do things our way" said the Roman bishop, and proceeded to appeal to civil government to enforce Christian doctrine and dogmas.
The USA was established as the first nation in history to enshrine in their constitution laws that protected free speech in direct contrast to the previous 1500 years when freedom of conscience and expression was suppressed. The principles that undergird the constitution need to be retained and protected even in Christian forums. Just don't be rude and insulting. Simple.

However, my point is if you don't agree with these people they become aggressive yet apparently nothing is done and this has been allowed to occur.
It really isn't an anti-vax issue. That rudeness can accompany any topic where someone has "an axe to grind."

I oppose some vaccines. Have I been rude to you?

The whole purpose for moderation is to address said rudeness, while still accommodating fair debate & discourse. (It is a difficult balancing act.)
