WELCOME EVERYONE!

[cebula_2005]

Everyone is welcome, but beware we will be discussing religion on this board as well as debating or doing anything else that you might want to do. NO PROFANITY IS ALLOWED, however, and we all want to act like good Christians here.

We CAN debate, though. We can seriously talk about anything we want. This is meant for AMERICAN GIRL DOLL FANS, but all topics are allowed. Please put OT in the title, though, so we know if the topic is different.

Children are allowed, but mature content might be discussed on this board. I feel confident that some children are mature enough to handle that. If you are not, you do not have to be here.

Thanks for browsing and joining.

Post anything about AG or Christianity (or both [img]smile.gif[/img] ) that you want.

HAVE FUN!

[cebula_2005]

Oh, and no personal attacks on members are allowed either. If you disagree about something, you can at least respect the person as a person and Child of God if not his or her views.

[cebula_2005]

And NO USING THE LORD'S NAME IN VAIN!!!

[cebula_2005]

Do not do anything that will harm the spiritual health of another member or yourself.

Also: remember I am the only mod, and I cannot be on 24/7 so if someone breaks the rules and I do not do something about it right away, don't assume I'm not going to do anything at all.
I will try to do as little moderating as possible, though, as one of the reasons for this board is a sort of CIVIL and CHRISTIAN free expression.

Does one need to be Christian to post on this board?

[cebula_2005]

No, you do not have to be Christian to post on this board, but you do have to respect our rules, many of which are derived from Christianity..i.e. no using the Lord's name in vain.

Another rule: No misquoting the Bible. You may quote it all you like, but please refrence it (i.e.put chapter and verse) and quote it correctly.

Thanks,
Tra

No, I don't think so. I mean, I am and I think a lot of people are, though. But everyone is welcome to share their point of view [img]smile.gif[/img]

[talentedtwelve12]

1. No using the Lord's name in vain (either God or Jesus)

2. No swearing

3. No profanity

4. Do not have attacks on one certain person!!! It doesn't matter if they believe different than you.

5. Off-topic threads are allowed. Please put "OT" in the thread though.

Thanks for your cooperation!


Any more I should add??

Here, have a cup of coffee. [img]graemlins/coffee.gif[/img]

[cebula_2005]

Thanks for the summary, Katya. Good idea to have these all in one place.

You forgot:
6. No misquoting the Bible. Put chapter and verse when you quote it.
