Kimra!!

You said it BEST!!! Thanks!!!

It is inevitable whe you have such a large group of people, that there will be some differences in opinion. I understand some people are uncomfortable discussing religion at all. I also understand that some people are uncomfortable not discussing it, because it is such a big part of their lives. We would do well to understand that some people make mistakes in posts, and some people are uncomfortable about other unintentional, or intentional words. Either way, we have all done something to offend, we have all made someone uncomfortable at one time or another. We have all slipped in our tongue, and we have all had opinions that are unacceptable to someone or another at some time, and generally, we have probably been forgiven for these things. If I may make a suggestion, we have other things to talk about. Let's be patient with eachother, and kind to eachother, and forgiving of eachother, whether we feel we are in the right or not. There are people on this list who need support, some more than others, so let's help eachother out, we are all in the same boat.

Love, Kimra Kai

No, Cindy,

I thought someone was advertising a product, not realising

they were actually a group member.

In that letter, I didn't ACCUSE, I was actually writing an

apology for following up with a question about the "advertisement"

(which, again, turned out not to be an advertisement).

And, no. It isn't a safe place for everyone. For instance, evidently

no one is allowed to have a differing opinion...

You are absolutely allowed to have a differing opinion...just don't ask someone else to change theirs!

Do you understand that I've never asked for that?

I completely support everyone having their beliefs, opinions, viewpoints,

and in particular, if something works for you, empowers you, then yay 8-)

More power to you.

Elissa, can you drop it now? You requested some form of censorship which

the rest of the group did not agree with and now people are thinking *we*

are an oppressive group because *we* want to police people's expressions of

faith and now we are losing members because of that. You're gonna have to

deal with your issues off-list. Please?

I think this topic has pretty much died off.

It was my sincere hope that this thread would die a natural death. But it seems to go on and on.Does this group not have a moderator? If there is one, why is he or she not giving an administrative directive, insisting that this topic be dropped immediately with the ultimatum that anyone who continues the thread will be removed from this group? I came to this group to get and give support for our efforts with Weight Watchers. I have to say that if this thread continues, I will be one of those who leave this group.Bette in CA
