Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do.
And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with
– even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department.

Is it a glitch or something?

I just posted, and an hour later, or so, I refreshed the town hall forum, and it's gone!

I spent 15 minutes looking for it. I was in denial, that a whole thread can just disappear without a trace. I've never seen that happen before.

If a moderator moves a thread, there will be a link, saying it was moved.

Wierd.

Well, here are the backups, if you want to read what the topic of discussion was:

Evangelist's HQ raided in child porn case - page 1
Evangelist's HQ raided in child porn case - page 2

I'm thinking that maybe it was some glitch because of the coding for the youtube video. Let's see if I can put that last post up without the code for the video.

Just a minute...

Here's the exact post which caused the thread to disappear. The only thing different is I removed the code for the youtube video.

@Amelia

If you want me to make a new thread, I'll be happy to. Just say the word. I'm not sure if you have assigned Neil D to be your personal spokesman, or he has taken it upon himself.

But I really am glad you brought this case to our attention. We need to be more aware of false allegations like this. This poor guy has been harassed for decades. And we must assume it's for his outspoken-ness in exposing the the very real threat the Vatican imposes on our civil and religious liberties.

There is an Inquisition that's building in America that threatens our civil liberties, just like prophecy said there would be. Presidents have been assassinated trying to make America aware of these conspiracies, trusting that Americans will do their part in preventing them from taking over and taking away our constitutional rights. And it's up to us to at least make people aware of it, and to put this trouble off as much as possible so we can complete the work we have, without so much hindrance.

This is what the blood of John F. Kennedy cries from the earth:

[ - This is where I put the youtube video - ]

That was a courageous thing. Let us take it to heart as much as possible.

Quote:
Protestants have tampered with and patronized popery; they have made compromises and concessions which papists themselves are surprised to see and fail to understand. Men are closing their eyes to the real character of Romanism and the dangers to be apprehended from her supremacy. The people need to be aroused to resist the advances of this most dangerous foe to civil and religious liberty. {GC 566.1}

"There are many who are disposed to attribute any fear of Roman Catholicism in the United States to bigotry or childishness. Such see nothing in the character and attitude of Romanism that is hostile to our free institutions, or find nothing portentous in its growth. Let us, then, first compare some of the fundamental principles of our government with those of the Catholic Church. {GC 564.4}
"The Constitution of the United States guarantees liberty of conscience. Nothing is dearer or more fundamental. Pope Pius IX, in his Encyclical Letter of August 15, 1854, said: `The absurd and erroneous doctrines or ravings in defense of liberty of conscience are a most pestilential error--a pest, of all others, most to be dreaded in a state.' The same pope, in his Encyclical Letter of December 8, 1864, anathematized `those who assert the liberty of conscience and of religious worship,' also 'all such as maintain that the church may not employ force [ - like the FBI burning down your church - ].' {GC 564.5}
"The pacific tone of Rome in the United States does not imply a change of heart. She is tolerant where she is helpless. Says Bishop O'Connor: 'Religious liberty is merely endured until the opposite can be carried into effect without peril to the Catholic world.'. . . The archbishop of St. Louis once said: 'Heresy and unbelief are crimes; and in Christian countries, as in Italy and Spain, for instance, where all the people are Catholics, and where the Catholic religion is an essential part of the law of the land, they are punished as other crimes.'. . . {GC 565.1}


Believe the prophets.

2 Chron. 20:20 Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.

And listen to the great and brave men are risking their lives, and being assassinated, to arouse us to this threat. If we don't listen, that's a real tragedy.



@Neil D

You're somewhat of an enigma. You seem intelligent, but your faculties for reasoning from cause to effect, seem a bit out of whack.

If you imply such threats against someone, like that, it will always be a lose-lose situation. One of 2 things will happen.

1. Best case: The offended party will call your bluff and let you know they are not afraid of your pitiful threats. Then you're going to look dumb. And that gives you even more anger to repress, which messes you up more.

2. Worse case: The party will cower to your tyranny and subject himself to your control. Then he would be giving up his man-hood.

Either way, if you get all primitive like that on people, it's never good at all.

And the proposal to ban me from this forum, is not a threat to me at all, but to the forum. Such a move would be arbitrary and unjustifiable, which would reveal a great evil here. The wise will take it to heart. Those who are asleep, in spite of the warning Christ and the Apostles have given against spiritual sleep, would not take it to heart, which also is a tragedy.

But if I was banned, I would be sad, but I would move on. I would take it as a sign from God, that the work He has for me here is finished. I would comfort myself and eventually push it out of my thoughts. I would allow myself the joy and excitement of the new adventure God has for me, somewhere else. I would forget about the people here who don't even care if an innocent man suffers.

Those are not the people that receive the seal of God. No matter how religious they are. They would leave a man lying in the ditch to die, and never do or say anything. They would convince themselves that he probably deserves what he got.

That is, if it was an FBI agent that stabbed him to death.

If it were a moderator who moved the thread to a private location, I am certain that he or she had given the matter careful consideration before doing so. To provide track-back links to the thread is to undermine the administration at Adventist Forums.

It would have been better to have discussed this matter privately with the administrative staff, before calling it to the attention of the readership of Townhall.

Rush-

I told you not to diss Amelia....She's administration.

Let that be your lesson....


If you must know what happened, there are gremlins here on ClubAdventist that monitor the nice-ness of people's posts...
They watch each post. Over time, they come to either like you or not. And they have their favorite people....Amelia's got a lot of gremlins watching for her... You obviously upset a whole passel of gremlins, as that is how many it took to remove all the posts of that thread....

My advise- let the gremlins like you....be nice in your posts.
