God Bless you, Teri
Thankyou for answering my letter. I trust that Bro Bryan will receive it at some point. The main problem with opening such a discussion board as the one that you have apparently established as"Polyanna here" is that one must also be prepared to "take the good with the bad" as it were, and maintain the standard of not throwing out the baby with the bath water.
Now I realize that this must be tempered with a certain amount of reason and decency. Had I resorted to the use of profanity or other such vulgarities as "name calling" etc. then I would have certainly deserved to have my posts deleted or my membership terminated. This is obviously not the case. The Lord has given me enough of a vocabulary that I do not need to resort to such obscenities or profanities. To the best of my knowledge I have not broken any rules since the first day I read the second set that was provided on the main page.
My only violation was the insertion of a link to a web page, and for that I caught myself and did report myself after discovering that links to other sites were not permitted. Bro Bryan publicly pardoned me for this and the matter closed without incident. All other links that I have provided are links which connect directly to various posts in SNW - NOT to other web sites. These too, have been deleted by management flexing their muscles again, by the same members I suspect, that also provide links on various pages to outside web sites quite liberally. There appears to be a greater number of different sets of rules in SNW that are not provided on the main page that I have yet to read. Such as the one that states that management reserves the right to break its own rules. Although I have seen it in practice I have not read this rule yet and I suspect that page must be hidden.
In one of the posts I made that was deleted by management, I kindly suggested that perhaps it would be more prudent to keep all the rules together in one place after being informed that the Group Rules equally apply to the Discussion Rules. What I find is really occurring is flat-out abuse of authority in a spirit of blatent hypocrisy.
Management deletes posts as they see fit simply because they don't like what is written, and then pretends to the eyes of the readers that the content of such posts they deleted were in violation of the rules when they were not. This is surely deceitful. SNW is running off course and I have no knowledge of godly men and women ever stooping to such tactics. Something tells me Bro Bryan would not operate like this. Something tells me Bro Bryan is a man of God. That is why I addressed this letter to Bro Bryan.
Thankyou for reading my reply.
May God bless you and your house in Jesus name

JT, thankyou for you very kind letter...I hope the 'Polyanna' term did not offend you. It was my way of ...humour? Sorry if I made lite of things that were important to you.
Maybe you might want to email Bro Bryan personally...and talk to him that way...as you know he is on the road alot and has left others in charge of 'peace keeping'. I know all the intentions are good in the managers group....and I also tend to think that Bro. Bryan made that discussion board with the disclaimer for just this purpose...for the thiick-skinned ones to discuss!
I am truely sorry for any uspet this has caused you JT. As I said, I dont know the issues...or really even the beliefs of the ones that post in there....but...I am a girl...and we just dont carry on...like that anyways!! <SMILE>
We are not human beings going through a temporary spiritual experience.

I wish more men were able to express the sweetness of spirit that you plainly exemplify here, in your reply. I confess that it is not one of my stronger points either, but God isn't finished with me yet. :::grins::: I would be honored to e-mail Bro Bryan directly concerning this matter and I should like to make it clear that I would not have endevored to trouble him, knowing that he is a very busy man. I'll try not to take up too much of his time. I simply find that I have little choice because certain of the assistant managers in charge are behaving like brutal thugs and bullies. Please understand that I was in no way offended by the title of your leader board. In fact, I found it quite humorous. That is precisely why I posted there. It seemed appropriate to my goal where I illustrate to wayward men that taking a woman to wife and then "moving on" after using them, to take another is indeed polygyny, no matter how they would attempt to justify themselves OR squrim out of the responsibility for their actions. I also understand that this message board you posted was part and parcel of that same discussion board that Bro Bryan had already qualified with a disclaimer and a warning. It all fit together rather nicely until the deletions started up.
It would seem to me that the majority of the "thin-skinned" members of SNW are mostly those who have been entrusted with management tools to delete posts whenever their own feelings are hurt or, whenever they should take offense. Perhaps their own consciences are getting the best of them. Since they can't take the heat, and apparently lack the intelligence or decency to set forth a good debate respectfully, they justifiy themselves with the deletion of posts instead. Such brutality is typical of the baser sort of behavior in the erroneous belief that might makes right. They are abusing their authority and they won't get away with it. God is watching. Please provide me with the appropriate e-mail address for Bro Bryan. I think I already have it on this pc someplace but... lol .. I have no clue where to look!
Thanks again for your kindness and gracious understanding. God is good!
