They key word in that link is MAY. Doesn't mean it will happen - the implementation of the MAY part is dependent upon a number of factors, including what you were convicted of, whether or not it was a first offence, etc. etc.

Well, if you were raping your wife it was a Godly act. Afterall, you body is no longer your own. Just sayin

I can post again. Yeah!!! :) For a while there it wouldn't let me log in.

I totally agree Ducttape. And yes, Facebook does pull information to suggest friends. I'm not sure it accesses your email accounts to do this unless you give them permission to. It will pull information from your friends list on facebook to suggest people you might know. And you have to know how to set your privacy settings and what the pitfalls of using applications are. But, if you think your email providers and your internet service provider is not also tracking where you go on the internet, you are fooling yourself. In this day and age, internet privacy is mostly a myth. Everything you do on the internet has a risk factor attached to it. Each individual has to decide the risk v the value and make their own judgment call. Many people enjoy facebook and have few problems, others have had a lot of problems. The facebook group is set up for those who want to use it. It is not going to be for everyone and is not intended to be a replacement for greasespot. It is simply another method to allow those who want to, to stay in touch.

There are a couple of people in the facebook group that are using their Greasespot names for their facebook accounts. That is fine. I only ask that you PM me here, so that I know it is really you.

Brainfixed, there is a facebook group where we can all stay in touch. If you are interested I posted the link below. However, I would appreciate it if you would private message me here and tell me what name you are going to use, so I can verify it is really "brainfixed" I am bringing into the group. http://www.facebook.com/notes.php?id=1445430273&notes_tab=app_2347471856#!/

Just so everything is up front, Bramble has made me an administrator at GSC again with my permission. I volunteered to continue to help out there at least until her husband is well. But, I have also made sure I am protected against further false accusations, by gathering what I needed to show that I did not remove anyone from the list.

Funny how some of the things that once seemed so important don't anymore, eh?

For those of you who may have missed it. The facebook group can be found here: http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/home.php?sk=group_179441518750241&ap=1

It is a very difficult thing, to come forward with a story like yours. I wish you peace on your continued journey and may 2011 bring much joy to all of us!

Okay, okay, I confess. I am Modbaker. There, I have come out of the closet. Are you happy now?? Actually this is Abigail. The most hated and feared of all moderators. ;)

I have a few of the posts. For those of you who may not know, accusing someone of being a troll IS a personal attack and IS a violation of the posting rules here.

I started to clean up some of the insults in this thread. In all honestly, along the way I lost my ability to be objective. I have asked some of the other moderators to step in. Until then, I am going to lock the thread, so that this doesn't become even more work for the next moderator.

Some of the newer posters down here have been making exremely lengthy posts. I would like to point out that the doctrinal forum is for discussion, not recruitment and not lecturing. It is a place where people can have a conversation with each other and/or friendly debate about doctrinal issues. Posts that are as lengthy as some of them have been more recently, are not condusive to conversation and take up a lot of bandwidth. In addition, if you are posting information that is taken from another website, you are potentially infriging on a copyright. Please simply post a link and a small sampling of what can be found on the website instead of cutting and pasting the entire thing.
