What time will bible study start? I have physical therapy starting at 4 and I usually don't get home till about 6. Good question, we probably need to standardize the discussion time. What time zone are you in? Well, the forums has a clock now. So let's just use that? It's the same as mine, which is EST.

prison ministry is the bomb
also does anyone else here volunteer to help out the adults with the middle school youth group I work with the elementary class. I'd love to help with a middle school group. What's it like? Well, hard to keep their attention, especially when there's close friends in your small group. You have to get creative sometimes to keep them attentive on the subject matter and keep them from digressing. This will be my third year helping with EDGE as a high school volunteer. My first year I was sorta the youth minister's errand girl, and last year I assisted an adult core leader and fellow teen volunteer with a group of 8th grade girls. This year the same teen and I are suppose to get our own group with no adult, so I'm nervous.
Last year's group was pretty good though. 8th graders are in that transition period when they're no longer super hyper but also not as self-conscious as high schoolers, so they answered questions and weren't afraid to ask some of their own. And I, being the apologist I am, love getting to answer theological questions.

Hi as well.
Also, Im only just now starting to notice all of the threads about the forums in OTD and I have no idea what's going on truly. I am in a skype group so I've been in kind of the loop in knowings but I haven't seen anything bad enough to warrant all of this.
I hope everything ends up being all right.

@spottedstar3137: literally nothing. You? Dreamers Delight: Ikr? I had zero idea that there were any issues like this. I mean I knew that there were a few trolls, but I hadn't seen anything myself, so I just kind of assumed that there weren't widespread issues. It's sad that people feel the need to be uncivil.

I had no idea anything like this was going on so I was like "What the heck?" But almost all of the time I spend on here is spent on this thread, so I guess I just haven't seen any of it. What's their new album called? I like Skillet but have never really gotten too deep into them

The only time I ever caused conflict was when I said something that was meant to be supportive but people thought was offensive, so I don't think I've really stirred anything up tho i mean there's no way that you're not going to offend no one It's good to try and be respectful and all that but there's no way to please everyone. But yeah I didn't know things were bad

The "mm" thread seemed to be mostly about people deliberately mocking and putting down others. Pretty sure you're 👌

I can only control me so idk what else could be worked out Unleashed. It's pretty good, I'll admit. A few songs are a bit ehh but mostly good.

Yeah though I believe some of my friends are considered to be in that "mocking" group, when they really aren't trying to mock or put someone down.

First time hearing of any forum 'hostility.' Personally haven't seen any of it either. A few cynical comments, but that's to be expected, and nothing even approaching 'threatening'. Have a feeling a lot of people are exaggerating. That said, I'm very hard to offend, so I'm probably not the person to judge, haha.
Sometimes the internet is mean. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Gotta learn to deal with it.

It's hard when it comes to jokes bc some people see jokes as really offensive and other people see them as offensive but know that they're jokes and supposed to not be taken seriously it's a balance

I think the only thing that can really be done about this type of thing is report anything that seems mean-spirited or toxic and let the mods decide what to do with it. I just found a video of the entire album on YouTube so hey, I'll give it a listen

Just that there are going to be trolls anywhere you go on the internet. You just have to get over it. And if you can't, maybe the internet isn't for you. Maybe this sounds harsh, but...

I have no real idea though because I haven't spent much time on the forums at large.

Ah, shucks. Dizziness is NOT fun. :/ Definitely get it checked out if it continues. The pills I took to help with mine took my spells away within a couple of days!

I've seen some of the things people have said and it just seems it's being very exaggerated. But I haven't seen it all, so Im not really sure.
