   Bob, I'm kinda new to all of this, but if I have said or done anything to offend or harm anyone, I apologize. I believe a blog is just another place for someone to spill their guts. Let me put it like this. I have people I know from all over the world that send me those "Send it to the next 10 people you know and then back to me if you "REALLY" love the Lord" Is that an advertisment. Or if someone is offering their services for a fee or anything along thosae lines, I look at all of it as expression.

   Some might not know better, but who are we to judge anyone's words? Maybe but whatever they are saying on this place set aside for "BLOGS" is what is helping them. Hey, I say, whatever makes it work for you. I have too big a beam in my own eye to c oncern myself with the specks of others. Bob777, write me and let me know what's stuck in your craw, maybe it will all end in us saying His grace is sufficient for us, for His strength is made perfect in my weakness. If a BLOG is a chronology of thoughts, who are we to say what others should think.? What say you brother. Oh, by the way, love your transparency, awesome dude, thourough.   Peace    <   OldSchool777

You always express yourself you have to if you want to remain Tom. God has put you here for a reason. We all need self expression. Everyone does in there blogs and you have just as much right as the next person. Some may not agree and show compassion as they should ALWAYS!  But, show them the mercy God gave us! I love Bob...he's a wonderful man who is going through a lot now as well. If I'm not wrong....the purpous in blogs and recovery is the opperinity to express our feelings and others to have the love and compassion to pull together as healpers for one another. You are doing great. I know God loves you and there are no mistakes in trying to share our feelings with those who should want to be of service. May God bless you my friend. May He quiet your mind and soul, spirit and heart....in His name....

      I too, will agree with Ken and Philip. If you've ever worked in the usegroups, you find they have been overrun by advertisements for services and spammers - to the point where one must actually join a private site and pay for the "privilige" of discussing matters on specific topics without being bombarded by sales pitches and digital graffitti from all directions.


      As specified in the terms and conditions, this site is a social networking site available to people in recovery for the purpose of giving and receiving Experience, Strength and Hope. Whlie not explicitly forbidden, purely commercial advertisments in the form of blog and forum entries is disliked and discouraged by the majority of the membership.


     If these commercial advertisements started to be 90 percent of the blog, forum, bulletin board and shoutbox entries, how many people in recovery would remain? Not I... 


YF,


Dennis
