I have no doubt that the number of members would grow with a highly moderated list. Most people like to mingle with people of the same mind. The largest lists I have been part of, which numbered well into the thousands, were lists where the only information shared was what the moderator went through and decided what was worthy to be posted. This meant that most posts that people made never made it to the list. My vision is not for that kind of list. I like TruthTalk being open for anyone to share what they have on their mind. The last time I offered you your own list. Do you remember? That offer still stands. I prefer to give you your own list, because I don't see anything wrong with TruthTalk as it is. I like TruthTalk. Ruben asked me to setup a debate list which as you know has been up for some time now. With Ruben's permission, I can make you the moderator of the debate list and you can excommunicate all those Kill Abortionist guys and do whatever else you think needs to be done. If you would rather start fresh with your own list, just tell me what you want to call it and I will set it up for you.

(VBG) I don't favor repeating mistakes or bad experiences. As I said before, if you feel the urge to set me or anyone else straight, and you can't do it by attacking what is said but feel you must personally attack the person, then contact them off this forum. Don't drag everyone else into the personal attack. I still think you would do better to address the issues and not get personal, but if you must do it because God has told you to do it, what is wrong with doing it off this forum? Think of it this way. If God told you to march into the Mormon Temple and yell out a rebuke, you know that you will be removed by authorities and probably put in jail. So if you obey God in that, you should feel good about the known consequences of going to jail. In other words, you should not fault the Mormons or the police for putting you in jail when you know the rules ahead of time and you choose to disobey them. In the same way, if you know the rules here and you break them and won't stop after being reproved, you will be removed from this forum. You should be happy about that, not faulting those who have established the rules. By the way, I continue to invite your discussion about the rule. If it is an unjust rule, make your case. I think the rule facilitates good discussion and that continues to be my position. I once was driving to downtown to preach and I knew that the police were going to arrest me that day. I prayed about it and knew it would happen. When the police put the handcuffs on me, I did not fault them, nor did I resist. I submitted unto them as unto the Lord. It was nothing personal. They were in the wrong to arrest me in this particular situation and I knew it, but they didn't know they were wrong. They arrested me in ignorance, and the courts set them straight later. I pray that you have the same attitude when you feel put in the position of having to break a rule. Peace be with you.
