ok, i am starting to get a little angry. it seems like every time i get on here, there is a few new "members". not real members, mind you.... just sick ppl who want to join on here to post links to their dirty websites... it is sickening! to get on here, where ppl are trying to get help and attempting to do us harm by your filth. shame on you! i hope you realize that there are consequences for every action you do in life. i don't think the lord almighty will sit back as you beat up his children.

this isn't directed at members who join and have not felt comfortable enough to talk to anyone yet. it is strictly directed at the ppl who are pushing their links on us. i implore you to stop.

Hi Sam

These visitors are certainly not here to get better are they?

I hope the site owners will find a way in future to block such bogus members.

Here are some verses of God's Word to encourage you: (New American Standard version).  God's Word has power. We need to use it as a weapon against the spiritual forces that raise themselves up against the knowledge of God (2 Corithinans 10 verse 4-5)

Psalm 37
verse 1 Do not fret because of evildoers, be not envious toward wrongdoers. Verse 2 For they will wither quickly like the grass, and fade like the green herb. Verse 3 Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness. Verse 4 Delight yourself in the Lord; and He will give you the desires of your heart. Verse 5 Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He will do it. Verse 6 And He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your judgment as the noonday.

Also part of verse 7 "Do not fret...because of the man who carries out wicked schemes."

Also verse 10: "Yet a little while and the wicked man will be no more; and you will look carefully for his place, and he will not be there."

Also verse 12: "The wicked plots against the righteous, and gnashes at him with his teeth. Verse 13 The Lord laughs at him; for He sees his day is coming. Verse 14 The wicked have drawn the sword and bent their bow, to cast down the afflicted and the needy, to slay those who are upright in conduct. Verse 15 The sword will enter their own heart, and their bows will be broken."

Also verse 35-38: "I have seen a violent, wicked man spreading himself like a luxuriant tree in its native soil. Verse 36 Then he passed away, and lo, he was no more; I sought for him, but he could not be found. Verse 37 Mark the blameless man, and behold the upright; for the man of peace will have a posterity, (verse 38) but the transgressors will be altogether destroyed; the posterity of the wicked will be cut off, (verse 39) But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord; He is their strength in time of trouble. Verse 40 And the Lord helps them, and delivers them; He delivers them from the wicked, and saves them, because they take refuge in Him."

Thank you both for your concern about the new members.

Blazing Grace uses a software package to manage our forum. There are some nice things about it and some not-so-nice things. One of the features I'd love to disable is the "new member" display. If I can figure out how to turn it off, I will. We don't have the resources to customize this software.

Currently, I am the only one who approves or deletes new members. The good news is that "new members" cannot post until I review their account and move them to approved status. Unfortunately, our software package does make them visible to the community along with their website and other info.

My first activity nearly every working day morning is to delete these bogus users. Over the weekend, there can be 100 or more of these.
But I am generally not able to do this on weekends or evenings and ocassionally I'm on vacation.

If you ever notice someone posting that is clearly not on the board for the right reason, please let me know right away. I believe I have been careful to not let anyone thru who shouldn't have access to this community's communication.

I hope this explains our situation.
BIL
