Diff Between Forums

1. The "open to all who register" Community Forums and the Questions for Members, etc forums(Q&A Dialogues) are separate forums.

2. In the public Community Forums you do not have to answer questions, you can use an anonymous handle, and start any topic you like..

3. We will not divulge your e-mail address.

4. To be notified of replies in "open to all who register" Community Forums, click on "watch this topic" below topic entry box when you make your first entry.

5. We do not screen posts, but we do have a foul language filter. Upon repeated complaints of threatening or illegal language, we will ban you, as per registration agreement. Remember courtesy is a big public virtue.


How full member Q&A forums treat both questioner and Member-Yes/No persons impartially.

Q&A how to use.
1. Copy what your question is about from the Member or Yes/No forums or any Member Q&A Dialogue.

2. Then go to Q&A forum to question a Member or Yes/No person by clicking this link: then hit New Topic button and paste your copy in the New Topic box.

A glitch, after clicking on link above, you will same Q&A and Diff blocks. Don't worry, you did go to Q&A. Look below to see "Questions for Members and Yes/No persons" header and the "New Topic" button.

Our forums module treats Q&A forums and Community forums the same, so I can not get rid of the 'howto' blocks in Q&A forum YET so at first it looks like you did not go anywhere. Fix coming.


3. Put members nicl-(x) number, e.g. nicl-1 in "New Topic" Subject box followed by subject of question.

4. In Q&A Dialogues the "notification box" is automatically checked.

5. Remember, an "I agree" or a "this is my last response" ends your part in the dialogue, and the other person gets the last word.

Finally, read and reread the Q&A procedures. They are meant to treat both sides of a Dialogue impartially.

Since the purpose of the N1CL is to find out who among us is willing to swear in public that they honestly seek the truth; this public test is starting to surprise me. I would have thought there were more of us. However, we have not been at it that long and it is a revolutionary idea.

SOME QUESTIONS

You get to speak anonymously in these Public Forums so why do you think a seemingly large percentage of people are not willing to do a "scouts honor" public oath?

Are we fearful? I think a lot of us are.

Does the question make you look inside yourself and you are not sure of what you see?
We all lie to ourselves sometimes. Some more than others. That 'swearing' confronts this lying directly. That is uncomfortable, maybe that is why that agreement was done last a few months ago, instead of first as it should of been.

Without the internet, it was not possible to do before; so is it the newness of the idea? Human nature, with good reason looks strange new things over carefully; new has to be smelled, poked, looked at from all angles. A good survival trait. A big part of it, I think.

In the end, does it boil down to being willing to "Love thy neighbor as thyself?
In the Catholic catechism, the first question is, "What is God?", the answer, "God is everything.". Christ said there are no two commandments greater than these, "Love God with all your heart and soul." Since you are part of everything, that must mean love yourself with all your heart and soul. Christ's second commandment was, "Love your neighbor as yourself." They are part of everything too = part of God.

I think speaking honestly and seeking the truth is part of "Love thy neighbor as thyself."; what about you?

I am sure there are other reasons, perhaps some of you can suggest them.
