Thanks but not the same one.

Here you are:

<a href="http://search.viafamily.com/bbs/cgi-bin/Ultimate.cgi?action=intro" target="_blank">Cafe Boards: The Christian Message Boards</a>

I know it doesn't say 711 on there but it's the same board.

Did anyone read the Gay Outreach portion of that board!!!!: <a href="http://search.viafamily.com/bbs/cgi-bin/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&forum=Gay_Outreach& number=27&DaysPrune=30&LastLogin=" target="_blank">http://search.viafamily.com/bbs/cgi-bin/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&forum=Gay_Outreach& number=27&DaysPrune=30&LastLogin=</a> Check out the first string. I want to scream when i hear that crap. As if learning the truth about yourself is a sin! I am tempted to sign on and start responding. However, i am sure i will be trampled on badly. Any suggestions? Would it be a complete waist of time?

To which I say "Do what you know to be right." I have had several posts deleted by the small-minded people over there. I plan to post a response to the poor guy that they are beating up. It sounds like he needs help.
ps. I am scratch over there

The first thread wasn't mine was it? No-one replied to my thread I started on Gay Outreach board so I guess not. That was an interesting article I posted a link to, because it was by a Christian saying in effect "I'm gay - I'll always be gay". He's married with kids though - he's not living a 'gay lifestyle'. So, he says how hard it is to be gay, in the church. How he can't be honest about it because of how people tend to react. Anyway, you don't hear that perspective much in a Christian magazine.

Most likely if you persistently post against the beliefs of the board owners, who are conservative Christians who believe the Bible is inerrant, you will be banned.

I don't think beachbum ever got banned though.

So it's not as if everyone who is not a Christian automatically gets banned. It depends what you post and how persistently, I think.

At one point they suggested I leave because of the content of my posts but since then I've been posting less controversial stuff .

beachbum you're most welcome! . I saw your post on Gay Outreach. Check out Drifter's threads on the Bible Topics board - he's a non-Christian dating a Christian.

Hi Helen

You are right I have not been banned over there. I quite going there for several months because a few of the idiots just got right up under my last nerve. I had to leave or I would have been banned.

I have had several posts deleted and then have David tell me that they were not. such a liar and a xian too.

I'll go check out drifters post.

HelenM

I thought that's about how it was but I didn't want to put words in your mouth.

I like seeing you there but I understand if you find it a difficult environment!

love
Helen

p.s. have you been to the new version of <a href="http://pub5.ezboard.com/bzetoumenehoalethia" target="_blank">ODD</a> yet? Atheists are welcome there and are allowed to post their views as freely as Christians. There are rules against sarcasm and disrespect, but I doubt those rules would impact your posting, beachbum . (I've seen Christians get in trouble over those more than non-Christians)
