Bethabara Posted August 28, 2007 Report Posted August 28, 2007 I'm interested to see how this board develops. I enjoy MA&DB for what it contributes, and even some of the give and take. But it frequently slips into patterns I remember from when the kids were teenagers. In any event, I have been an early morning seminary teacher for 6 years. (I miss symposium) Seattle was home until 9 years ago. Now, we are waiting out the heat in AZ. All of our kids have found their way down here as well, including 5 8/9's grandchildren.

We hope you enjoy this board, and with the help of the MA&DB admins we should be able to create two distinct and healthy communities.QuorumPrez
Jeny Posted August 28, 2007 Report Posted August 28, 2007 I'm not too familiar with the Madd boards...I have posted about 8 post up there...I got a little overwhelmed because there were so many threads to weed through!! And they were so long!!! Think I will just hang out here for awhile!! I teach the 9 years olds in my ward, and I am on the provident living committee and am a visit teacher (of course).
rayhale Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 I really like this format of discussing gospel related material, here is a list that I’ve come up with of some of the thinks that I like: (Not necessarily in order) 1. You can ‘talk’ as long as you want, without ANY interruptions. 2. You can take as long as you need to look up references, and post what you know. 3 You can take your time in a word processor, like Microsoft’s ‘Word’ and spell-check it. 4. You have all what’s said in the post right in front of you, so if you are gone for a while, you can just reread what others have said, to refresh your memory, and read any new posts that have come in since you were gone. 5. Since threads are there for, what I’ve seen, years, you don’t just have 1-2 hours, like church, or a scripture study class, so you can keep a certain topic going, and going and going. Now I’m not one of those people that will just say the good, or bad, things about something, so here’s my list of the bad: (Not necessarily in order) 1. You don’t know whom you’re talking to. 2. You don’t know how much the person your talking to knows, he/she, may say that he/she is a scholar, or a priest, or a bishop, but they might just be lying to you. 3. This is more long term, but it’s still a concern; you don’t know how long this site, or the technology will last, it might end tomorrow, next week, or ten, twenty years, from now. If anyone would like to add to my lists, or explain why you think I’m wrong with certain points, please post.
NeuroTypical Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 Hi Bethabara - welcome!I enjoy MA&DB for what it contributes, and even some of the give and take. But it frequently slips into patterns I remember from when the kids were teenagers.Fair enough, but take note - while MA&DB is full of people who act like teenagers and should know better, this forum has a few actual teenagers who don't know any better. It's a great place for people wanting to move to the next level. Enjoy!LM
Guest tomk Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 Welcome. I don't know if this place is any kinder or gentler, but we're all here, imperfect as we are, all trying to get along, all trying to come to a meeting of the minds, all, well, almost all of us striving to be like Jesus.
