And a hearty thanks for the grammar lesson! Not being of the hearty (strike that, I mean) hardy variety of spellers, I can use all the help I can get!

I ask, is it possible to have dialogue objectively? This would be my first and foremost goal on this forum in relation to brothers and sisters currently meeting in the Local Churches. Past experiences has indicated otherwise; a subjective reaction when questions related to history or practices are asked. At best the response given is "be one with the brothers". Which may illustrate concerns have merit, but not to the point of breaking one accord with the blended brothers.

As far as improvements go, I'd like to see easier thread navigation. Perhaps not having so much content threads are located under.

Thanks Terry. I think you bring up a lot of good points here. You are so right about "past experiences". One of the things I would like to see happen right here on this forum is to see some current members take a chance, come out on a limb, and break the cycle of ignoring their brothers and sisters in Christ.
