The following bans are now in effect:

Guy Incognito - I approved this user to the forum with some questions in my mind as to whether it might be Richie Magoo. I see he quickly admitted who he was. Since he was banned for hurling an insulting expletive against another person, the ban remains until further notice.

Golfball - His "signature" that removes Yahweh's holy name from scripture indicates that he must not have read the guidelines to the forum or he is ignoring them.

Trooper - After being banned some time ago, he returned in an attempt to deceive me and others. The deception naturally will raise questions about his honesty and integrity.

I've decided to give a warning to Leejosepho for hurling an insult toward Yahwehwitnesses ("bristled whiner").

I've also moved a couple of divisive threads to the Echad forum. I hope this puts an end to the strife here. May Yahweh's name truly be glorified through our conversations and our love for one another.

With love in His service,

Peace to you.

Having just today actually seen the above-mentioned warning to me, I offer my apology to you and to anyone here who was offended by the remark I made about Yohanan. Also, I definitely agree with your hope for an end to the strife here, and it is also my prayer that our Heavenly Father’s name be glorified through all of our conversations and our love for one another, even as we work off some of the rough edges among us.

This board is my only remaining contact with believers outside our small group here where I happen to live, and it is my hope that you or others here will either show me my error(s) as alleged by Yohanan or anyone else, and that you or someone then help me to overcome them ... or that someone other than myself help Yohanan see and deal with his own. But whatever either does or does not happen along that line, please know that I cherish my opportunities to participate here on your board.

Blessings to all,
