[TruthTalk] The Future of TruthTalk

[David Miller]

Dear TruthTalk members,   As many of you know, I have not had time to moderate TruthTalk for a number of years.  We have had some problems recently on the list that has been especially trying for many of us, especially the past moderator.  Another TruthTalk member has volunteered to moderate the list, but given recent events, I am very reticent to consider this option.  Right now, I have to confess to the list that I am seriously considering taking down the list.  I don't regret having had this list for these last 8 years, but priorities in our lives change and I feel that my priority is toward other situations in my life which concern my family, my church, my business, etc.  I also have a desire to start writing position papers on various issues, and TruthTalk basically takes away my time from doing such things.  I suppose in some ways I feel that I have outgrown TruthTalk, and in other ways I just need a break for awhile.  This would be a lot easier decision to make if TruthTalk was somehow dying on the vine with few posts being made.  The truth is just the opposite of that situation.  Interest continues concerning engaging in dialogue here.    I will be continuing to moderate TruthTalk for the next week or so as if TruthTalk were going to continue, but I am still very seriously considering bringing an end to TruthTalk.  If any of you have any wisdom or suggestions about TruthTalk continuing, perhaps without my leadership or involvement, please share it with me.  I'm open to alternatives, but I do think my time with TruthTalk, even in an administration capacity or lurking capacity, is being brought to an end here this week.  Most of all, I want everyone to know what is stirring in my heart so you are not surprised or shocked if I do take down this list at the end of the week or if there is some other drastic change that happens with the list.    God bless you all, David Miller
