Spam is advertising, usually of a specific product, and while you are not the only one doing so, you are specifically promoting one church which claims to be the one true church and do so on a forum in which you likely are about the only actual member of the borg. Thus some of us consider it an abuse of a conservative forum.

And “while the most widely recognized form of spam is e-mail spam, the term is applied to similar abuses in other media.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spam_%28electronic%29

I've been posting a Bible Study (three times) - pinged no one. I'm not promoting my Church nor asking anyone to change their beliefs. No one else here is posting anything similar - I'm just here to answer questions (and yes, there are others here)

It's interesting how you consider it an abuse to introduce a different idea to 'your' conservative forum. Like, having an open mind about spiritual matters is somehow a progressive ideal. I'm conservative - my voting since I first registered when I was 18 reflects that, but I have to tell you that could change in a New York second if my relationship with the Lord is threatened. I have a ministry online and here in town and I really don't need the nasty disrespect you 'conservatives' seeming love to dish out to those who don't buy in to your group think. By definition the stupid and ignorant are those that cannot or will not learn anything new. I've been called both in recent posts on this thread - funny how projection works.

First and foremost, JR has stated this forum is pro-God. My purpose is to improve reader's personal experience (conscience contact) with God as I've come to understand that. What I have to say or what's in the Bible Study may not fit with an individual's beliefs but that's okay, isn't it? I noted on the Bible Study threads that no one really discussed the content but it just degenerated to childish name calling. This week, I pulled one thing specifically and pinged one person who I had had discussed the topic on previous threads. "cultic spam" again - just like the anti-Mormon threads. When all you got is a hammer...

So, God willing, we'll have another Bible Study tomorrow, which I'll post here. Coming in February, we have a seven week Spiritual Journey program called 'The Path Of Integrity' which I plan on posting here. Nothing to buy - no donations are being solicited, no bullying just sharing the Good News.
