        Hi Lee, 

As you have noticed, those who participate on the list are not "screened" 
for their knowledge or doctrinal positions. Any person - lost or saved, 
naughty or nice - with an internet connection can find their way onto 
House Church Talk  and instantly participate. Many do not even read the guidelines 
because they "don't like to be told what to do." Therefore, stuff is 
going to eventually happen that ain't gonna suit the others.  :-)

(Whatever the moderator does or doesn't do will always be criticized ad 
infinitum, of course, which is why self-moderation is encouraged.)

Concerning Jim, those who doubt him might check the archives or do a 
google groups search on "goodword and Christian" together. For me, Jim is 
the real deal and has been a huge encourager over many years. He 
regularly travels into the most hostile :-E environments of internet 
discussion, such as usenet, in order to lift up our Lord and the words of 
eternal life.

Lee, please feel free to return, later. I am certain God can and will 
employ you among the saints in cyber-space, brother, here and afar.

As always, let us who remain not be overcome with evil, but let us 
overcome evil with good. That's 'good' as in Jesus, the 'Good Shepherd.'

Mail traffic has been high lately so if you want the digest version of 
this list just go to the link at the bottom of each post and change to 
the daily digest. Digesters, btw, should always change the subject line 
after they hit their reply button. Thanks.
