Default IIDB/Christian Forums Thread Continuation XXXV (The Shadow of the Hegemon)

Welcome to the IIDB/Christian Forums thread on IIDB.

As many of you are already aware, this thread has developed what some might call "a life of it's own" here, and has been continuing for quite some time. This most recent version of the thread was split from here.


As some of your may be aware, There are are other forums here at IIDB. We have a lot of interesting conversations around here, and you might think about joining in. Unlike CF, theists are not restricted in where they may post, although please note that the secular community forums restrict certain kinds of content.

Quickly, let's review the most pertinent rules to this thread:

1. The rules here at IIDB prohibit insulting, flaming or attacking IIDB members. For a list of people that are registered both here and at Christian Forums, please see the members list at:

http://www.iidb.org/vbb/showthread.php?t=149006

If you are not on the list and would like to be, or would like to update or correct your information please PM Spherical Time directly. Only people that the moderators of IIDB are aware are members are protected under this policy, but self-banned members at IIDB are still protected here, as per administrator ruling.

2. PMs (Private Messages) may be posted only with the permission of the sender. This includes messages posted to private and staff forums, such as the Staff Appeals forum at CF, and messages sent in an official capacity. While it would be churlish for a staff member of any site to refuse such permission under most circumstances, if they do, we expect that to be respected.

The previous threads bear many different names, and can be found through the following links:
IIDB/Christian Forums Thread Continuation XXXIV (The Voldethread)
IIDB/Christian Forums Thread Continuation XXIII (Can You See the Real Me?)
IIDB/Christian Forums Thread Continuation XXXII (The Fabulous Riverboat)
IIDB/Christian Forums Thread continuation XXXI (The Amazing Labyrinth)
IIDB/Christian Forums Thread continuation XXX (No More Rulebreaking, Please!)
IIDB/Christian Forums Thread Continuation XXIX (Hello Friend)

<previous threads have been snipped due to managability issues. See thread XXIX for prior threads>

Special thanks to Shannon for creating the old users list, and thanks to everyone here for respecting the other people that post here, and keeping this little community thread going.


A few resources for CF threads are being collected here.

My MIL will probably be getting knee replacements this fall. Well past time. We go on vacation with her and she needs a wheelchair if we're going to walk around at all. She is also in a lot of pain. Encouraging stories are welcome

Yeah...done right is a lot more likely with an experienced surgeon with a successful track record.

After all, as Lien put well: Oral is Moral.
Not according to certain mods, it would seem. Blah.

My guess is that thread got deleted from MCO for being too explicit, not because of the subject matter. That's just a guess though, because "steak and a blow job" was thought too explicit for that forum.

The thing that sucks (no pun indeeded) is no matter what the official reason for deleting it was, it comes down to morality being decided by individual moderators. There is nothing in the rules that says having oral sex is wrong.

This is like an MJ deleting a topic for discussing pork recipes, or an SDA locking a topic about Sunday worship.
CF has lost a lot of standards lately.

"The Shadow of the Hegemon"

Is this in the context of the Greek word hegemon meaning "leader"?

Eg: In 478 Athens was made the Hegemon of the Delian League.

I'm a good girl, i've been studying.

I'm not quite so erudite, though. I couldn't think of a cool-sounding title, so I looked over at my bookshelf, and the first title I saw that really stood out was Shadow of the Hegemon (or via: amazon.co.uk).
