OT2, I believe the exact opposite point was made in the discussion below, that the coordinators were willing to go the extra mile to make Christian posters feel welcome on this site. If posters had wanted it, WC was willing to go to all the extra work of creating a separate Christian board. The purpose would have been not to 'ghetto-ize' Christians but to create a safer environment for Christians to post in a non-interrupted manner about returning to Biblical faith after the Family. Apparently that's not what posters want, so it appears we'll keep the one-board format. My thanks to everyone who voted & spoke their feelings, by the way!
Also, there is no intent to 'send Christian posters to NDN.' You are welcome here & I believe everyone realizes that. I have no objections if Christians prefer to post on NDN, but that's only because I have confidence in the integrity of the coordinators there. However, sending posters away is the furthest thing from my mind.
I believe some poster below used the term 'ghetto-izing' the Christian posters, saying that would be the effect if we had created two distinct boards, but that's not what the coordinators intended. I think our motives have been very clear & above reproach in all this. There is no anti-Christian bias on this board & I trust that our willingness to accomodate all posters have laid that to rest once & for all.
