So what happened to reverse the previous decision that was made a week or so ago to continue the discussions?

Apparently, management felt the need to close them...While I am not management, I can tell you that you can PM Calvin if you have any further questions...

Calvin said: QUOTE The practices of 3ABN merit discuss because they are such a public institution in the Adventist church. But when you make allegations against Danny Shelton of murder, child molestations, etc that borders on slander. I have some personal problem with that and concerned that I am put myself and the management of BlackSDA at risk if this continues unabated. We are all going to take a break from this topic for awhile until I and the management staff decide what is the best course of action to take concerning this subject.

Once again, I ask does BSDA have their legal disclaimers in place? Or is it a question of simply not liking the flow of the convo? I've missed the real outlandish ones you just posted and I do feel are not what people SHOULD be saying without facts, but as a matter of opinion, that is another issue. I understand that each site has rules, guidelines and an admin/owner, so do what you do. But, the issue is that there must be some consistent guidelines for matters like this that are bound to come up again and again. Good luck. Kind of a no-win situation either way you go. But, it must be decided.

I'm kinda glad that you did. I haven't taken any sides on the issue, but it really didn't seem like anything was being resolved or that anything was taking place that we helpful to the situation being discussed. I dunno, I thought it was kinda a waste of time to discuss something with no real end in site that had absolutely no effect on the existing problem. It was like complaining about the president when you know full well you didn't vote.

The question was do you have a legal disclaimer in place that protects the site/admin. from any slanderous acts. And as to who or who did not find the posts interesting, well the numbers that read them and continued to read them says something about what people want to read. My concern is not the topic, but rather the reasons for closing ANY post. "The sooner we all learn to make a decision between disapproval and censorship, the better off society will be...

Just give it time.....
Either the thread will reopen...or it will be "restarted" when at least 1/10th of what has been discussed comes out as truth via television. (Remember Robert Folkenberg....)
