Members preachinjail Posted April 12, 2008 Members Share Posted April 12, 2008 Howdy; Hi there folks. I heard about this place while playing around on the BB and FFF. Thought I would check it out here and have a little fun also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LindaR Posted April 12, 2008 Members Share Posted April 12, 2008 Welcome to the OB preachinjail! You'll find the OB lots different than the BB (if the BB means BaptistBoard)....I'm on the BB also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members preachinjail Posted April 12, 2008 Author Members Share Posted April 12, 2008 Hi Linda; Thanks for the welcome. The BB kicked me out. It puzzled me at the time but I have since come to accept that each and every board that one may visit has its clique and if one were to challenge the "powers that be" he is in for trouble. :ooops You may remember me as av1611jim. You may also remember WHY they banned me. No matter. Take your toys and go play somewhere else is my motto. (ha ha ha) The FFF is a hateful place in my experience. It too has its "clique" which pretty much controls the board but since it is unmoderated one can post with a bit more freedom and that is why I stick around over there. It will be interesting to see how this place operates. I suspect that, like all other boards, that OB has its clique as well. It will be fun to discover whom is in it and whom is not. I will try not to step on any toes as I wander around here. :cooldude: Oh and one more thing; I am IFB KJVo. So maybe I got a fighting chance to stick around here, ha ha ha ha ha ha !

Members Anon Posted April 12, 2008 Members Share Posted April 12, 2008 I wouldn't say we have a "clique", we welcome all new members. Its when new members decide not to follow the rules (continuously debating and challenging things not accepted by the board admin.) that there are problems. Welcome and enjoy!

Members preachinjail Posted April 12, 2008 Author Members Share Posted April 12, 2008 I wouldn't say we have a "clique"' date=' we welcome all new members. Its when new members decide not to follow the rules (continuously debating and [b']challenging things not accepted by the board admin.) that there are problems. Welcome and enjoy! That leads me to the obvious question then. Do we "preach to the choir" then? :puzzled: Or do we "sharpen iron with iron"? Just trying to get a "feel" for the forum. Thanks for the welcome, btw.

Members Anon Posted April 12, 2008 Members Share Posted April 12, 2008 That leads me to the obvious question then. Do we "preach to the choir" then? :puzzled: Or do we "sharpen iron with iron"? Just trying to get a "feel" for the forum. Thanks for the welcome, btw. We are all for opinions and discussions. Some posters blatantly argue about stated board beliefs...for instance KJV, CCM, etc and that is not well tolerated. Questions and discussion, yes...escalating into an angry argument, no. Also some people just go on and on and on about controversial issues, making others upset. That is not tolerated either. Some people join the boards with the express purpose of stirring up debate, knowing full well they disagree with the majority of the board. That usually ends quick. But friendly discussions with differing beliefs are fine, we do it often. We just try to act like "adults" LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tired Posted April 13, 2008 Members Share Posted April 13, 2008 I used to go on FFF. OB is much better. Ther are more real IFB people here who love the Lord and their neighbors. The FFF just seemed to be a place where different colleges could bash each other. I like how on OB if their are people coming in here who want to argue their false religion and tell us off, and the mods will ban them. Most of those people who come in and do this will beat a dead horse for days and that hurts fellowship. Thats why I stay on here. :lol :cooldude: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
