Just wanted to post here what's been happening on my forum.  
I just want to take this opportunity to say how much I appreciate you, and this site. I have not visited an awful lot... I know - but I have appreciated the stand you have taken, and also helping me out on my site.

I have realized how important and how vital Christian fellowship and love is, and have realized that I *have* alienated my Christian brothers and sisters, by sometimes being too dogmatic on my forum - New Creation Growth Truths.

So... since the mormons hacked in and deleted my entire forum this morning, I thought - well what a wonderful way to START FRESH, with a new humbled heart, and spirit, and I pray and hope that I can be any sort of encouragement here, or anywhere that the Lord will lead me.

If anyone would like to visit my 'new' forum (my other one was 4 years old that they destroyed) i'd love to have you.  The url is:  http://forums.delphiforums.com/NCGT/start  

in Christ - Wendy

Hi Wendy,

 

Any Idea as to who is responsible, let me know and I would like to join in and see if Delphi can actually do something.

 

Im very glad that you have a new forum and I will be over there to read your postings.

 

You are always more than welcome here in any capacity and if you would like to be one of the forum Managers the invitation is always open to you. Just let me know and I will set your profile to manager.

 

You know that we live about 45 min apart so I do hope that I can get invited to some Church event or BBQ with you and your family.

 

God Bless you Always,
David

<<<Any Idea as to who is responsible, let me know and I would like to join in and see if Delphi can actually do something>>>

This is what we are trying to find out right now... so far delphi can find nothing - and don't know how my forum got deleted.  The mormon fellow (vicious in his spirit on my site) warned me that he would 'get rid of my forum'...

<<<Im very glad that you have a new forum and I will be over there to read your postings.>>>

 

THANK YOU!!!  you know you are extremely welcome yourself :-)

 

<<<You are always more than welcome here in any capacity and if you would like to be one of the forum Managers the invitation is always open to you. Just let me know and I will set your profile to manager>>>

 

Well, this is quite an honor to me.  I am running two sites right now, and will be soon not having as much time as I have previously on my computer.  I've started to work outside the home again part-time.  However, having said that - I am always available to HELP in any way that I can - just let me know.

 

<<<You know that we live about 45 min apart so I do hope that I can get invited to some Church event or BBQ with you and your family.>>>

 

I did *not* know this!  Email me and let me know where you are, etc... that is great, though at this time we are not involved in any local church, I'd be interested to know more about where you do go... etc.

 

In Him - Wendy

Wendy I clicked on the link and it took me to your forum but there were no discussions, so the problem doesn't seem to be fixed quite yet...

Ralph Waldo Emerson may have said it best:

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success."

Your forum is not closed, although we took it offline while we decided what to do with it. We are quite uncomfortable in supporting a forum that attacks a religion. The argument has been made to us that if we saw a forum that attacks blacks or attacks jews, we would close it immediately. Why do we tolerate a forum that attacks Mormonism?

You can access your forum now, although it is Private, and all folders are set to be read only by you and your staff. Please do not change these settings.

Explain to us why we should tolerate your forum.

Delphi Forums

MY RESPONSE:

1.  First of all "let me THANK you" so much from the bottom of my heart that you did not destroy it.
2.  I do not believe that I personally attacked one person - and I clearly said over and over and over that I was speaking of the doctrines/teachings of a headquarters - and was not personally against any mormon.
 
Having said that - it is interesting that what happened on my forum happened over about a 4 day period.  I had originally only posted a couple articles, as I have done on every Cult.  I also have posted on JW's, Wiccans', or ANY other group that is contrary to the Bible.  I did NOT pick out mormons from any other group.  I was posting on the DIFFERENCES between Bible teaching and their teaching.  What happened was I was literally inundated... not by people only asking/saying their views, but by people attacking my LIFE, and threats were very very personal and very scarey.  This was NOT a joke, and my husband and family can attest to what was said.  The arguments escalated because I would not 'back down' to THEIR attack on me.  YES that was wrong, on MY part (*pride* and *anger*).  But just like every other AMERICAN I should have the right to answer those who have accused me.  I had to turn my forum to MODERATED because of the vicious things that were being written to me.
 
IT IS NOT MY INTENTION to be a mormon-bashing forum.... or a 'jwbashing forum' or bashing anything!!!  But I also must say to you something that I'm sure you already must know.  I can visit wiccan/pagan delphi forums, and I can visit all sorts of them and they REGULARLY attack Christians... in fact - there is one forum called "Anti-Bible" and that is their purpose.  Could you please explain why those people are allowed - if ALL people are equal on your forum?  
 
I have contacted almost every Christian delphi forum and we are all waiting for a response to this.
 
Thank you for your time
wendy

Delphi is such a joke.

 

They have no business moderating forums for others.

 

No wonder Delphi is among the worst Dinosaurs on the Internet.

 

Great Job!!

Hi Wendy,

 

The forum still doesnt work for me.

 

When I access it is virtually blank. No messages, No articles, No posts, no users. Nothing is available.

not having known you all that long I could not say without a doubt you are not a mormom, but I can say that I have had many conversations with you and have never heard you say anything that would give me the idea you were a mormom. What gave Wendy the idea you were?

apperently there is a mormon who uses the same handle as mine "poetprose" or poet...(not sure) 
so a member of her board is saying to Wendy that its me!!!! lol..... i am feeling quite frustrated as i am being banned for being a person that i am not 

i think an apology would be nice too....Wendy wants me to prove to her that i am not a mormon 

how am i suppose to do that when i dont know enough about the mormons beliefs or theology to set up a case in defense of myself 

rediculous actually

Wendy I am fairly certain that Post is not a mormon, I have never heard her say or do anything that would suggest that she was... I think there might be a case of mistaken identity.

Poet, Wendy has had a lot of problems with mormons on her forum, somehow they were even able to hide the discussion so it looked like there weren't any, so she is a little "gun shy" right now, I am sure once you two get to know each other you will find much in common.

thanks... i'm unsure at this point.  The person that we think 'she' might be has all the same letters in his other name.  in fact, ROSE is part of his name.

I guess if you all know poetprose, you could tell me about her then?  And she can take time (right here...) to tell me about herself... too

I have a pair of those shoes, Wendy! We get so many trolls in Pals, we pretty much just laugh it off now. I ban some folks just because of their names! We have great posters and great topics, but trolls just try to ruin eveything. We had one today who argued with everyone over wanting gays to be able to marry.

We have had more than our share of trolls, so I know how you feel.
