You can set up a closed group of friends here I am sorry to see BC half the size it once was on the post page, and see people leaving and saying BC is not what it once was. There is a simple way to have peace and fun again here on BC. Go to your blog settings and set up a network friends. You can invite the people you want and keep it safe, secure, private, share pictures and be at peace. It is just yours and your friends. You just invite people to join your friends network. There can be peace and fun once again. You do not have to have unwanted comments, people you don't want to see your posts and make any comments they want. Only your friends will see and participate in your network. This is now possible for silver and gold members. Give it a try. |

Penthouse owns BC. You are just speaking for Satan by asking everyone to make this site look good, and Christians shouldn't be on this site either. As long as they are way ward individuals we should not be ignoring people but reaching out to the stubborn and lost. You speak for wolves in sheep's clothing mainstream christianity. I don't think you are truly saved.

Silver and gold members can set up their own network now. Just click on blog settings and set it up. Then all the privacy you want is yours. No one can see or participate except the members of the network. Its a closed group, opened only by invitation. Its a closed circle of friends.

thanks. chat in groups sounds like what people would like here as the membership is screened.

I understand. some years ago I was a silver member, then gold, but now standard. I just want to post now. I still want to post and discuss issues but in a civil, friendly way.

[size3] I am sure it will work for those who will set one up. It will need to probably be a silver member and maybe they can invite who they want. Like you I don't want to pay for membership here anymore, but an invitation to a group of networking friends sounds nice. Anyway, it is an way for people who want to stay here and not be bothered by others. I keep my blog here very clean. No rudness at all by anyone is permitted for the sake of those who visit and want a nice discussion.

You are right, there are no solutions that solve everything. Still, may I say please, that Christianity is exclusive. Remember, God said, "...be separate, come out from among them and I will welcome you." Also, to be fair, He said for us to go into all the world and offer by example the Gospel to everyone and be ready to give a reason for the hope we have. Paul the apostle would also remove or not fellowship people who were seriously damaging the Church. As you perfectly said, its not an easy call. There seems to be no win, win, solution in this world. I believe we can tell when the time for this separation has come. When sensitive, vulnerable people are leaving BC because of repeated insults to their faith, it bothers me a lot. I feel sorry for them. Personally I just ban people who have yet to be nice to people to protect those who visit my blog. Also, I don't want to listen to them myself. I do not have an exclusive circle of friends here, for Steve's reason, however a person could have two blog names, maybe, one for the friends group and one for open season? Say, for example, you had a friend's only blog. If I wanted to join, I could post openly in the main blog room that I would like to join your friends only group? Yes, you are so right of course that we need to exhort. Then again, Jesus said we are not to give our pearls to pigs, because they may turn and attack us. Also, the proverbs says we should not rebuke a mocker or we will get a blot to our name. They will assassinate our character, which spiritually speaking may be as bad as physical. The ten commandments showed how important it is not to bear false witness. You covered this area in your view so well from many angles. My best idea in dealing with this is to follow the Spirit. Each person is different in their vulnerability. Some like you are very strong. Others, are weak and not ready to deal with some kind of people.

Yes, this is true also. If we want friendship with most everyone we would have to put up with most everyone's ideas. For myself, however, this is too much to stomach. I just read in a book that if we have even one friend in life we are fortunate. A friend never judges us and know us so well. They may admonish us but it is not a judgment in the sense of condemnation. It is like a concern and encouragement. To give up our self respect to be friends with others is too much for me.

Please read my latest post about exorcism on BigChurch. Ban them and ignore them is how to have peace again. You can stay here and have peace but only if you ban and ignore. Thats what I have done and I am so happy. My friends, like you, don't need any defense from me or explanation. I never read any posts of persons I have banned, even if they have quoted my post title and then commented. Its just their way to try to interact with me or slander me to others. I ban and ignore. Its very nice and quiet now.
