Beardedlady,
You said, "When you answer evryone's post with something to the effect of, "Have you been to the City of Peace?" that this is , in your definition, proselytizing.
Now I just looked at the thread above and one poster asks 3 questions of faith to the other discussant.
Also, the post to Jay was the first time that I asked anyone if they had been to the City of Peace. Anyway, since I was posting to Jay, then Jay could easily decline my invitation to converse like others have done, and I will respect their wishes.In fact, I am now going to ask posters if they want me to be a discussant if I am going to tell any of my experiance. I will respect a no-answer to be a decline of my invitation to them. They will have to spacifically say that they welcomr me in their discussion or I will not post about the Road. But Jay could have wanted to discuss further. Maybe Jay did have some experiance. There was another poster recently that described her experiance of seeing a man on a throne. And a gold star on the wall. Jay's post was of the same, for he talked about life and death being a vapour. In the City of Peace, life is described as a vapour just like Jay said. My question is not in my definition pros., for I was not trying to get him to join any religion. Now I asked the person that had her experiance with the throne and star a question. Was that also pros. in your definition?
But what is needed here is for that word to be defined by the admin. So far, it hasn't because this board was created to be for those that wanted to use faith in their posts so that is what I have done .Any reprimand would , in my opinion, premature. All the posts on this board are for that purpose. Now if the admin. wants to define pros., then I will surly abide by that definition. But as of now, I have been led to believe that my posts are not pros., for I have been talking about the Road on the social board and I was never told that it was pros. Now a resonable man would conclude that since the Road was not pros. then, then it would not be pros. now. But if I am wrong, and the admin wants to now say that asking a question involving faith , on the faith board, is pros. then I will not ask any more questions that are about faith.
Shalom Alechem,
Lou
