Translation: it's impossible for brainwashed zealots to preach to the choir in a fully self-contained echo-chamber.
Some people enjoy posting in the flame zone and some prefer the clean debate forum.
The religious forum is open for anyone to debate religion, a faith based supportive discussion to inspire and share is different then a debate your beliefs thread.
Excellent explanation, Drifter. It reminds me of when Nehemiah was rebuilding the wall. The enemies of the Jews and G-d wanted to come in and get involved and Nehemiah said them - you have no part in this work. It was such a powerful statement that it literally broke the bondage the Jews had been in - like chains dropping around their feet - catapulting them to new heights - into total victory... they slept in their clothing and wore their weapons at all time - it is a spiritual representation of the alert - on fire church - very interesting comparisons can be made. imo.

I am not religious myself, however when my sister committed suicide last summer, I had a lot of religious people reach out to me and comfort me. I have to say it helped a lot and I did pray for my family and my sister's soul.
If Christians want to have a private group to encourage each other without non-believers putting a sarcasm or discouraging response in the mix they should !
Two weeks for prep?
That's ridiculous.
...The other question that was brought up was can non-members see what is posted in the groups. I actually don't know, since moderators can see regardless - perhaps a non member can make an experimental foray and see if groups are viewable....

Here's the direct link to DS's group. It seems that non-members can monitor and link to those discussions in the regular forums if they choose to do so. Individual posts can also be reported by non-members, and the subscription option to specific discussions is also enabled for non-members.
In my opinion, the Social Group set-up, in general, is fair to the members of the groups and still appropriately accessible to non-members, so kudos to the board administrators.
What if I believe in the bible, believe in and worship God, but I'm a Pagan? Am I welcome?
Howdy. This particular group was designed for Christians who just want to hang out with other Christians.
I've never actually heard of anyone believing the Bible and worshiping the biblical God AND being a pagan at the same time.
Anyway, the other members and I discussed whether or not we should enjoin ourselves (in the group setting) with non-Christians and we generally decided that it would be best not to for the time being.
However, I strongly suggest that if non-Christians want to start a religious group of some sort and make inter-religious-ecumenism the defining foundation for that group - then go for it. We gotta live boldly.

Jeremiah gets to pick and define the parameters of the topic, KG. If I were to engage you on a topic of my choice (and presumed expertise), it would only seem fair to allow you to brush-up on the issues and relevant discipline(s) involved.
Besides, I didn't snatch the time-frame out of thin air. Per Jeremiah's suggestion: "We can plan a week out - two weeks out - whatever you'd like." ...and agreement: "sounds good.", it seems the participants are happy with the arrangement.
So, why don't you take your juice-box and crust of unleavened bread on over to the corner for a nice quiet nibble and sip.

and the exclusions begin....
are yall so weak in your beliefs that you must isolate and exclude others?
seems you christains are more than willing to ridicule other christians....ie caps post to kg
matter of fact this thread stinks for these reasons:
if you truly want a social group...why not just invite people from their posts...
like avatar...etc and so forth...just troll the religious forum for new members
but nooooooooooooo you go public and make sure the people you invite are up to your standards.....
i just have to wonder ...what jesus would do?
