If there is an agenda how would it be described? To accomplish what? To do what?

I thought the purpose of the forum is to give people a chance to discuss the issues as they relate to Oneness Apostolicism. I thought if there was an agenda this would be it.

So what am I missing?

Within that OP designation I want it to be as inclusive as possible and so far it has been. Those of both the so called PAJC and PCI view are welcome as are pre-trip, mid-trib, post-trib and no-trib folks.

People who wear shorts to Titans football games and those who insist that not only must shorts not be worn but sleeves must be full length are all welcome.

People with Home Theater's with 92" screens are welcome as are those who dont allow any screens at home or church (at least one not even recorded music played in church!).

This all seems pretty inclusive to me.

I welcome the distinction that this is not a trinitarian site. I say that as one who does not think trinitarians are going to hell nor do I believe they believe in "another god" or "three gods". I do however recognize that there is a difference in trinitarian and Oneness views of God.

Well said!!!!.....now lets get back to bicker'n........

I am both an owner, and the head admin here, but I feel no pressure at all from other owners. We ALL work together and have butted heads on how to moderate certain things. We are all human, and have our own biases. But there is no pressure. The pressure was in trying to find a method to moderate across the board. We have a plan that follows the rules of the forum as of last Monday night. This is where all the tension was. Cons will naturally over moderate, Libs will naturally undermoderate. The problem is the cons naturally moderate the libs, and the libs naturally moderate the cons, so it seems as though the libs are getting moderated more. They might be, but what we have in place should help some.

I don't think it's necessarily true that how moderating is carried out is dependent on a lib/con bias. I've seen no real evidence of this.

Probably not the right word to use. I mean that all of us are biased that are view is the correct view. This is a natural thing. So the Cons are going to push for their view, and the libs are going to push for their view.

I do. But to be fair, I believe we don't do it that much here.

That's more it and Felicity, you wouldn't see it - it's in the admin area.
