Tell me something GREAT about Baptist Board!

Wow!

Fellowship with wonderful folks.
A couple of missionary care packages.
Folks withv whom I disagree but still love.


There's a couple to prime us.

 

Diane,

I smiled because you just quoted my wife's favorite saying - "What we really deserve is Hell."

Yes - the Baptist Board has linked me to several people who have helped me in particular areas of my ministry in real and tangible ways. One board member sent me a piece of software for our church worth over $200. Another has promised some Midi music on CD for our piano.

And that's not even beginning to count all the good advice and encouragement from people like yourself!

And then there's the argumentative types that provide me with an outlet for my emotions that may even keep me from fussing at my own church members.

Hey, while I don't check the BB everyday I'd be losing something good if I lost it completely.

 

Have come to know many a folks on the BB. Met Jim, Nick and Diane in Atlanta for supper and drove all over the place looking for a CVS afterwards. Diane has a slight southern draw, but has been watered down by the rich yankee accent of Jim.

Have met folks that new other friends of mine across the Southeast. I know the walk the walk, because I've asked my friends and they've said "Yes, they are a strong Christian."

Has been a great outlet for fellowship. Health probs keep me from being as active as I wish and the BB is just a click away.

Have made other friends who I wish I could meet in person and talk about NASCAR, John Deere, bow ties and Ireland. But, if I never do, we'll always have the Bored, the Baptist Bored.

 

Blackbird has enough knowledge to solve just about any---and he means ANY problem any BB'er can throw at 'im!! He'd DONE solved Diane Tav's little dentist problem if she'd had just listened to 'im----but NOOOOOOOOOO! Now, see, its done costed her a fortune!!

I can come in here---and shoot the breeze or be serious---Blackbird's no different on the board than in person!

 

Oh yeah, right: throw out a topic for discussion and then submit a post that NOBODY could possibly top!!

Seriously, that was a fantastic story. Thanks for sharing that again, as I had not heard it.

For me, I have made several good friends on this board. I love the fellowship we have here, despite our differences. Someone once told me that if you put a
Southern Baptist,
an Independent Baptist,
a Free Will Baptist,
a Primitive Baptist,
and a Regular Baptist
in a room to order a pizza, the result would be that everyone would fight over the toppings, never actually order the pizza, and yet still have a wonderful time of fellowship.

I wonder if that's true........

 

Oh my! What has the BB done for me? Let me count the ways...

I came to the board in a bout of depression. I immediately received encouragement, love, compassion, support, and prayers from STRANGERS!

Through my discussions here, I have become much closer to the Lord. I have learned much and dispensed much advice.

Shortly after I joined, I wanted, and needed, to go visit my son in another state. I have agoraphobia and have a REAL problem traveling.

A certain lady poster from 'clear across the country' called me and offered to fly from her state to mine and drive me to see my son (in yet ANOTHER state) and then fly back home at her expense! She did not even know me. Is that the love of Christ or what? I found it HERE on the BB!

I have become fast friends with many people here. Some I talk to on the phone and others I get to know through the Coffee House or the Games Forum.

I have even started to like bowties!

This is my extended family and my home away from home.

When I found BB - it was like finding a big blessing.

Though I've not met any BB members personally - that I didn't already know - I feel as if I have a big extended family from all around the world.

I've enjoyed writing devotionals for BB - and it helps me in my studies for my sermons.

I enjoy the fellowship and stimulating conversation. No really exciting stories to tell, but it is a great place to talk.

 

Webmaster-If you're ever in Glynn Co. Georgia, stop by and I will extend even more thanks with a trip to Willie's Weenie Wagon.

 

What would happen if Willie ran out of Weenies??? And Webmaster was like Blackbird---and wanted more??

 

Dr. Bob, you can sit on our "shelf" any time.

 

I already like the "cleaness" of this board. I won't (or better not lol) get offended by coarse language or inuendos.

Thanks!

 

I've been on Baptist Board one day plus and feel like i'm meeting family and excited about meeting more of the BLOOD relatives
