    I basically agree with the gist of what Steven2006 is saying, here.

    I also was around that evening.

    If you are really interested in the specifics, you can find the starting point of this fairly easily, I think. If not - what can I say?

    After several such threads had been started (and closed), I also asked said poster to, and I here quote "Give it a rest."

    In fact, if you recall, I already mentioned that I made a personal request that some non-involved Moderator of that forum or an Administrator close (and completely delete) the thread, which happens to be something I had never asked in more than 3 years and more than 8,000 posts, over that time, because of the charges and counter charges that were being made. Maybe DHK read my post and heeded my request to close the thread, I don't know. I do know that the particular thread was not deleted.

    The boy was suicide and you banned him. You all should of took the advince of this moderator. NOTICE there was only one thing he was wrong about and I marked it in red. AJ

    Dude---------as moderator of this forum I monitor and read many posts literally every day------including your posts---------and everytime I read whatever you post I say to myself-------"This guy has it together-----he's got a brain on his shoulder and knows how to use his mind!"------you are one of the guys I wouldn't mind meeting----I'll even buy your coffee, coke, supper----whatever

    What sort of "rock and hard place" do you find yourself in?? Whatever it is----dude-----you can make it!!! Chances are---you are panicing over something you feel you have lost control of--------hang in there------stay in contact with someone--------a brother, sister, aunt, uncle, cousins--------even us on the BB---------they can be a help -------- we can be a help-----------no panic in Heaven---Only plans---------and the Lord Jesus wants YOU in on them right here on Earth-------think about it

    Your friend,

    I came here to set the record straight and hope I am wrong in my assumptions. My father is Brother Bob and has been falsely accused. This is a man who has taught me to go the extra mile to do what is right in the eyes of God. He is loved and respected by all who know him and has dedicated his life to the Lord. To accuse him of lying and of registering on this site under a false identity is ludicrous as well as demonic. However, my husband did register on this site because remarks posted about my dad angered him. We know now we should have never responded to such childish behavior.
    The very foundation of this country is freedom of religion. Apparently this site has issues with that freedom. We blame others for the downfall of our nation and have become a society of finger-pointers. Maybe if we wagged that finger in our own faces this would be a much better world.
    You should be ashamed. It says in Mark 9:42 “And whoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.”
    I wouldn’t go deep-sea fishing any time soon if I were you.
    You can only pray you are as prepared as my dad when this life comes to an end.
    By the way, my name is Pamela Scott Johnson. I am not hiding behind a screen name or a computer sitting in judgment of others. I have one judge, as do you.

    It is obvious that you have no idea what you're talking about. AJ WAS suicidal and thanks to the generosity of someone on this board, who doesn't even LIVE in the states, he was able to take a first step towards healing. In the end, it was those online and offline who helped AJ through his crisis and he continues to be in my prayers and the prayers of others for healing, wholeness and a ministry for him in the future.

    However, from what I saw, AJ overstepped a boundary, was chided for that occurrance and would not accept the correction and instead posted over and over again on the board gossip about what happened and his obvious dissatisfaction. I once again say this is not our board. We are here as guests. I've been on boards where I feel I've been wrongly dealt with and I will address it and if I do not have satisfaction, then I need to decide if I will stay and forgive or else move on. The best course of action in this case would have been for AJ to move on. It takes a lot to be chided if you post here at BB. It's happened to me once and it was a wrong choice of words for me and a misunderstanding of those words. I was addressed quickly and quietly and I was able to deal with it in a graceful manner as opposed to raising a big stink about it.

    I'm sorry but Scripture tells us how to deal with conflict and what AJ did and what you are currently doing is not at all promoted in Scripture. Don't like the way something is dealt with? Speak to those who can change it and if nothing happens then MOVE ON. This whole thing is getting quite tiresome and it sounds like a bunch of 5 year olds who are arguing with their mother over not getting 3 cookies instead of 2. :tonofbricks:

    While there were some posts by AJ that let everyone know he was having trouble, there are only a few who know the details other than what was posted. Unless you are one of those few it is not helpful to AJ or this board to post about him as if you do know enough to make intelligent comments on that issue. There are those who have spoken with AJ outside of this forum and he knows he can always make contact again.

    While the word "banned" appears under the name these periods of banning can be set for short, long, or permanent periods of time. It has been the practice of this board to set initial periods for 10 days at a time to give someone a chance to get themselves together without further creating havoc on the board.

    Having been personally involved with AJ I can say that neither this thread nor any more discussion about him is helpful unless it is just to let him know we are praying for him. The action taken by this board was and is appropriate. This thread should be closed and the subject brought to an end.

    I am a little confused here. Are you all saying that Brother Bob is AJ?

    I thought the original post was talking about Brother Bob, Sue's son, and a moderator??????

    Cheers,

    Jim

    No we are not talking about brother Bob. But AJ. I guess you guys see it fit to banned someone like that.
    My point was on that post at the top where the moderator is talking that he did a good job but on one point about the bb helping him. Banneding some one to me is not helping them. That is my opinion. Banned for life or not banned for life it still going to hert. Just like brother Bob he has no defence to back up the reason he was banned. BB sure an't rebulic. Let us see what the bible says. 1Ti 5:19 Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses. So EVERY WORD MAYBE astableshed. He is a elder.

    Someone is banned on any board because of the actions they take - not because they are like anything.


    Listen, you have NO clue how Baptist Board helped AJ. I do. If you are ignorant of the facts, do not take up the offense. You have no idea what occurred and because of that, your opinion is in error.

    I can attest to the fact that things are not done lightly or quickly here at BB. I know that there is discussion, prayer, warnings and heartbreak in having to take action against a member. The banning of the two members in question was not a knee-jerk reaction but a necessary thing to happen because of members not following agreed to rules. End of story.

    All banning and suspension decisions are a matter of discussion and a vote. This being the case any accusation made must have the support of several more than 'two or three witnesses' before any action is taken.

    You are correct when you state that the Baptist Board is not a Republic. It is owned by one individual and he has the right by virtue of that ownership to determine rules and how they are enforced.

    Gossip is wrong. And that is what this thread is.
    It is posting opinion without knowledge of the facts. When you don't know what decisions were made and for what reasons, why are you speculating and gossiping about them.

    "Every idle word a man shall speak he shall give account thereof in the day of judgement;
    For by thy words thou shalt be justified and by thy words thou shalt be condemned."
