Farewell to you all.
Moderators, delete my account, but please leave this thread here for people to say goodbye.
My reasoning for this is due primarily to dorcas being banned. As a close friend of hers I am left only to join her.
I wish the best of luck to you all in your communities, churches, families, and in your own lives.
Regards,
jordanamo

brother,
Can i beg you to stay brother? can i? I beg you, please stay. I believe the Lord truly builds His body. There are people here in SI that I avoid discussions with not because i hate them but because they have rubbed me wrong, but truly there have been more times i have been shocked and humbled by the things that those same people have written. Who knows what workings of the Spirit of God and the deep things that I would miss by you going away brother? don't you know I need you more than you need me (and this I say in front of a Holy God and not for false humility, for i am a babe compared to some here on the forums in their walk with God) Please reconsider.
Thank you brother,
i will pray for you

You know what they say us Texans are
always years behind the rest of the world. :-)
Jordan, please reconsider this. Is it really necessary to have your account deleted, brother? To cut off fellowship with other brothers and sisters on here who can edify and encourage you in the Lord and who you can also edify and encourage just because one of your friends is banned? Please don't leave.
I pray that the Lord gives you guidance in this.

For the life of me, I am having the most difficult time understanding the "Body of Christ."
On one hand relationships seem to be loosly held, so as to move with the rest of the body, on the other hand we all seem to be tripping all over each other in order to hold onto some undescribable ground . . .
SI is a fine place. I have no problems with it. It is a community of believers, a unique one. A rarity today.
But when a close friend of mine is banned here, for what I think are improper reasons, When her thread, that she devoted hours and hours to, is locked, for no reason at all other than that "it is getting too large"-- I refer to the praise thread, etc., I just in good conscience cannot remain here.
Linn's not perfect. But she loves the Lord. Anyone that has spoken with her, that knows her to even a small degree, will see that. I feel compelled to speak up for her as such. I am amazed at how the moderators here ban people with such ease, not recognizing what divisions it will create here.
Jordan
This place wont be the same without her. She is a fine christian and the Lord is her whole life.
I am grieved by this development.
It is a sad day.
David
Yea ever since they put a Texan in charge, things have gone down hill here, look at George's ratings, what is it with us Texans? can we just be content with life and not have act like John Wayne? :-P
It appears bub,katy, and Linn are removed????
Is this true?

Is there a reason?

Jesus said to forgive someone 70×7 were they forgiven 490 times? :-)
Maybe that don't apply here.
Are the three you mention,Bubbaguy,Katy-Did and Dorcas? And is the Texan being referred to Paul West? Can someone please answer?

For the record in my post I was not insulating Paul was responsible for anything, I was just making a humorous remark that when us Texans get involved in something whatever it is, it usually seems to go down hill, nothing personal at all.

If I am reading right ,yes it is true.

Ban people with ease? Is this true? Is there knowledge of the hearts of the moderators and the process that is involved in removing a person? We must remember that we don't know everything. We don't know of the private communications that take place that add to the situations and certainly affect the results.
The moderators of SI, from what I know of them, are men of godly character who are seeking the Lord for His direction for this site and are seeking to live for His glory. The impact of this website on Christianity worldwide is growing daily; the natural result of such impact for the glory of God will mean an increase in spiritual warfare. Thus making it all the more important that those who take part in the blessings of the ministry pray for this website and those God has placed over it. I ask the brothers and sisters here, who may not understand the reasoning behind the banning of posters, to please pray for the moderators and trust God to lead them. Please do not stir up further strife and contention.
The usual reason for the banning of a user is a breaking of the rules. We would all do well to [url=https://www.sermonindex.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&order=0&topic_id=14144&forum=13&post_id=&refresh=Go]review them
[i]Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
12 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;
13 And to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves.
14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.
15 See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. 1 Thessalonians 5:11-16
Oh, may the Lamb Who was slain for us, receive the full reward of His suffering in our lives.
I humbly ask you to consider these things and to pray to God for His will to be done in all of our lives.

Hi bro. That is very true. Forgiveness should be quick and anger slow. But remember that Jesus buttressed this statement on a brother returning in repentance.
I'm not in a place to judge these things but will only speculate that much patience and forgiveness has been applied and perhaps these have been offered only to be reciprocated by no repentance?
Jesus said to forgive 70X7, He also said, "You have lost your brother." about the one who does not repent. I'm not accusing any of sin, but I'm not accusing the moderators of it either. They have a TOUGH job in this forum and they have my respect and prayers.
Blessings,
Jeremy Hulsey

Repent? Sin is breaking God's laws. I am not judging here either nor pro or con the bannings it's really none of my business, but we have to be real careful to practice what were all preaching here.
but we have to be real careful to practice what were all preaching here.
We have to be very careful brother indeed.
