            (Network Conferences)                          Updated: 12/08/95
     ͼ 
     There are 3 required conferences that must be carried by any Node of
     One_Net.  They are:  One_Net Admin, Open Forum, and Praise/Prayer.

     Only the One_Net Sysop and Conference Host/Hostess are allowed in
     the One_Net ADMIN conference area.  All other users must be restricted
     from this conference.  It is for network administration purposes.
     -------------------------------------------------------------------------
     THE FOLLOWING RULES APPLY TO EVERY AND EACH CONFERENCE AREA IN THE NET:

     1.  We are in the presence of the Lord.  Be accountable in your posts.  
     Be clear and concise, and post with gentleness and reverence:
     
     1 Peter 3:15-16
     but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always {being} 
     ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an 
     account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and 
     reverence;  and keep a good conscience so that in the thing in 
     which you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior 
     in Christ may be put to shame. (NAS)

     This, obviously, means that there will be NO FLAME-MAIL.  No personal
     insults, slander, or attacks on character.

     2) Over quoting is to be avoided.  Don't quote the entire post. Keep  
     messages short, clear and concise!

     3) All messages are to remain on topic.  If the thread changes, move the 
     conversation to the appropriate conference area.

     4) One_Net, the administrators, nor any Hub or Node shall ever be
     liable for any claims from the participation of the network.

     5) Messages that do not glorify Christ or have gone off topic can be 
     terminated by the administrators or conference host/hostess, at their
     discretion.  We reserve these rights for the welfare of the network.

     Conference:  Open Forum
     Description: This is the fellowship forum.  A place to meet new people
                  and form friendships.  This conference area is for 
                  non-serious stuff.  As the subjects change, so should the
                  thread.  Have fun here.  More focused topics will be moved
                  to an appropriate conference.

        Welcome to the Open Forum of One_Net Christian Network!

        This is the fellowship forum.  A place to meet new people and form
        friendships.  This conference area is for non-serious stuff.  As the
        subjects change, so should the thread.

        Have fun here.  You won't get mail if you don't let us know that you
        are there!!!

        More focused topics will be moved to an appropriate conference.

        Here are the rules that apply here and to every conference in One_Net:

     1)       NO ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES!!!  You know what this means.  If you are
     not sure if it is legal or illegal... DON'T DO IT OR USE IT!
 
     2)       NO ALIASES!  An alias is defined as a name that the caller is
     using that prevents true identification.  The reasons for this are
     simple.  This reduces "flame-mail", and keeps the integrity of the
     network.  When you have to put your name on something, you are more
     accountable for your actions.  
 
     3)       NO ABUSIVE NET USERS!  No offensive or abusive language is
     permitted in the network.  The usage of any word, group of words,
     expression, suggestion, comment, that is obscene, indecent, profane,
     filthy, lewd, or that is ethnically or racially demeaning is absolutely
     prohibited.  The local sysop is required to remove any user from any
     One_Net conferences that this is occurring in.
 
     4)       NO FLAME MAIL OR PERSONAL ATTACKS!  This should be simple
     enough.  No name calling, insults, slanderous statements or comments,
     arrogant, or posts designed to enrage, or any other obnoxious behavior
     or comments are allowed.  This is an absolute must.  It breaks down the
     integrity of the system and is harmful, not edifying.  The One_Net
     Christian Network and its administrators assume no accountability or
     liability whatsoever for any violations of this policy by any and all
     users of this network.  Network sysops can and will be held accountable
     for failure to remove access of any offending party to the network
     conferences that demonstrate a lack of compliance to any of the above.
 
     5)    Message Conferences:  All messages posted in the One_Net
     conferences are considered PUBLIC and READABLE by ALL CALLERS.  All
     messages are the property of One_Net and are not to be copied onto
     other message bases or to be echoed on other networks.  Quote at an
     absolute minimum.
 
     6)    NOT ALLOWED!  This net is for the glorification and exhalation
     of Jesus Christ.  This network will not allow the promotions or
     proselytizing of views, opinions, or any organizations that are contrary
     to the purpose of this net.  If there is any question to what that may
     be, consult the ONSOF.TXT for this network's statement of faith. 
 
     7)    TELEPHONE NUMBERS or PRIVATE INFORMATION!!!  No sysop is to give
     out any telephone numbers or private information about anyone in the
     network to anyone else without getting permission from who that
     information belongs to first - this includes Hubs, Nodes, users, etc.
     Hey, if someone asks... get permission first from the person whom that
     information belongs.  This will prevent any misunderstandings and keep
     the high integrity that we strive for. 
 
     10)      RESERVED RIGHTS!  The system administrators reserve all rights
     to terminate ANY posts, discussions, or threads which are deemed
     contradictory to the well-being of the network and it's users. 
     
     Hosts:     Jim Rooney and Ted LaPoint

     Conference:  Praise/Prayer
     Description: This is a very important conference area.  This is where
                  praise reports are given (for His glory, Amen!), replies
                  to praise reports (let your voices be heard as you have 
                  been moved or touched), prayer requests (let your needs 
                  be know so that the body of Christ may pray for you and 
                  minister to your needs- you have not because you ask not),
                  and responses to prayers (let your brothers and sisters
                  in Christ know that you are there in support - show the
                  light of Christ!).

         Praise the Lord everyone! And welcome to the Prayer and Praise
         Conference.   The purpose of this conference is twofold:

         1. To provide a place where we can bring our prayer needs and
         requests before our friends and brothers and sisters in Christ.
         (Mt. 18:18-20)

         2. To provide a place where we can give praise to the Lord not
         only for the blessings He has bestowed upon us in our lives,
         but also just to praise Him for being Him!

         Now for a few ground rules:

         1. First and foremost, no profanity, flaming, or personal
         attacks will be  tolerated.  This is a Christian conference
         and is carried on many  Christian bulletin boards. Please
         remember that when you write a message, you are being invited
         into many people's homes, so please act accordingly.

         Thank you.

         2. This is NOT a theology conference. There are other conferences in
         One_Net where the discussion of theology is appropriate. This
         conference is for praising the Lord and for prayer.  Personal
         testimonies are allowable as they serve to Praise the Lord for
         His goodness to us.

         3. Please keep quoting in replies to a minimum. Every extra
         byte in your messages is an extra byte that those who move the
         mail around have to pay to move.
         Thank you for your consideration!

         4. Above all, have fun and don't forget to praise the Lord!

     Conference:  BioGenesis
     Description: This area is to discuss the beginnings life in the world
                  in accordance to the Book of Genesis.  Bio, meaning life; 
                  Genesis, meaning the beginning.  
     Host(s):     Open

     Conference:  Apologetics
     Description: The defense of our faith.  This conference is a place to 
                  challenge our thinking as we consider and discuss the depths
                  of the faith that the Lord has called us to.

     APOLOGETICS CONFERENCE

        This conference is for the defense of the Christian faith.  This
        forum is a place for thinking to be challenged and ideas about
        Christian theology to be examined, both internally and
        externally.  God has given us substantial reasons for faith in
        Jesus Christ and his claims as outlined in the Bible, so this is
        the forum to dissect and debate these ideas.  All topics
        concerning apologetics and ideas connected to this, are welcome.
        Please understand and follow the rules as outlined hereafter.

        1) JESUS CHRIST IS LORD OF ALL
        We are in His presence in all we do, so let us live (and type) as
        such, believing that this is right in the sight of Christ.

        2) NO FLAMING
        Flaming is defined as an attack on any ones character, or person.
        While you may disagree with some ones actions or ideas, do not
        attack or defame that person, in posts directed to them or anyone
        else.  If you disagree with an idea or action, limit your
        discussion to the idea or the action, as opposed to the person to
        whom the idea or action is ascribed.  This rule applies people on
        and off One_Net, including but not limited to politicians,
        celebrities or any other person.

        Bear in mind that the very nature of this forum, as it deals with
        exposing truth and error, with differing and often diametrically
        opposing viewpoints, can be a hotbed of emotion and frustration.
        Strive always to maintain an attitude of respect and humility (no
        matter how right you may or may not be) and we will all grow,
        learn and develop into more mature and better informed believers.

        3) MAINTAIN CONSISTENT THREADS
        Please keep the thread consistent.  If the thread is deemed off
        topic by the moderator it will be summarily moved to the
        appropriate forum, upon notice, by the moderator.

        4) AVOID OVER-QUOTING
        Please refrain from over-quoting.  Remember, the sysops are
        often-times footing the bill for long distance charges, so please
        be consistent.

        Do not, however, feel you must under-quote.  Do what is necessary
        to maintain a coherent conversation, just use discretion.  As a
        general rule of thumb, anything over ten (10) lines in any one
        block should be the maximum.

        5)NO ALIASES
        'Nuff said.

     Conference:  Teen Network
     Description: This conference is for teens only!  This is an excellent 
                  place for teens to discuss the difficulties and struggles
                  of their growing years.  This is also a place for friendships
                  to build.

     Users of the One_Net must follow these simple rules, to have access of
     the conferences.

        1. No harrassing or misconduct towards other users on the NET.
        2. No foul language, or any phrase that is displeasing to God.
        3. No Aliases of any type.
        4. Please use the conferences for what they are there for =
                                 "To Glorify The Lord"
        5. And, since it is a teen conference, teens only, please.

        If there are any questions regarding what is allowed and what isn't,
        please ask your local SysOp or address a message to me -

     Conference:  Singles
     Description: This conference area is for those who find themselves single
                  at this time in their lives.  That means NOT MARRIED.

                                  CONFERENCE RULES:  SINGLES


        Welcome to the Singles Conference of the One_Net Christian Network.
        This is the gathering place for single Christians, whether you've
        never been married, are divorced or widowed.

        Our Guidelines:

        1.  This conference is for the fellowship of single adults.

        2.  Remember who you're claiming to be a child of...  This means
        ABSOLUTELY NO flaming, foul language, conveying of unkind
        thoughts, etc.  The respect you give is proof of who you belong
        to...

        Offenders will be warned for the initial offense, a repeat gets
        you locked out of the conference.  If you're locked out, I'll
        require a written request to consider reinstatement.

        3.  Enjoy this unique opportunity to engage in thought-provoking
        conversations with others in your "singular" situation!  Share
        your experiences, testimonies (if you like), within the sphere
        of your "single" environment.  We're here to learn from and
        encourage one another.

        4.  Out of respect for the SysOps who access this conference via
        long-distance communication, please strive to keep your quoting
        minimal.  Two or three lines should serve to remind the recipient
        of the thought you're responding to.

     My name is Darnise Bailey and I'm your Conference Hostess.  We'll
     have fun, counsel one another, and above all, share.  Let me know if
     there are things of particular interest to Singles that you would like
     to discuss.
     
     Hostess(s):     Darnise Bailey

     Conference:  Marriage
     Description: This area is for the discussion of the topics of marriage.
                  What brings them together and what pitfalls to avoid.

                  have been there.

     Conference:  Theology
     Description: The Theology forum is for the discussion of many various 
                  ideas, beliefs and thoughts.  Debate will happen here, but 
                  there are a few rules to follow in this forum:
     
     Agreement to disagree is okay on secondary items.  Offensive behavior 
     will not be tolerated.  Maturity is a must here.  Be respectful and 
     tactful. No tantrums are allowed!  AND NO FLAME-MAIL!
                
                Here are the rules of the Theology forum:

        1. First and formost, we must all accept that this is and always will 
        be a debate forum. The purpose is to discuss differences in
        theological beliefs.  Please keep in mind that the key word here is
        DISCUSS!

        2. As the NET rules state, there will be absolutely no flames,
        personal attacks or any other form of hostility allowed in this
        conference. We can talk about our differences without attacking
        each other.

        3. Keep quotes to a minimum. There is hardly ever a need to quote more 
        than 3-4 lines of a message in a response. In those rare occasions
        when it is necessary, please make note IN THE RESPONSE that you felt
        it was essential to use a longer quote. Since the moderator reads all
        messages, this is the best way to make sure he/she knows you felt God
        compelled you to use a LONG quote! <G>.

        4. The moderator/host reserves the right to remove a user from this 
        conference at any time. This is a private net and forum, not public!

        5. Keeping rule 4 in mind, the forum "user removal" policy is as 
        follows... 
          
          First offense: Warning
          Second offense: One week "vacation" from the forum.
          Third offense: One month "vacation" from the forum.
          Forth offense: Moderator will submit a request to the Overseers
                         to remove the user from the entire net permanently.

        We certainly hope and pray that these rules will not have to be 
        enforced... but they will if necessary. We would like this to be a 
        place where we can all have informative and enlightening discussions 
        about our difference theological viewpoints. Please brothers and 
        sisters... let's try to write all messages with love and respect for 
        others. God bless you all.

     Conference:  Another Gospel
     Description: This conference area is for the discussion of JW/LDS, cults,
                  and various other subjects that would classify as "another
                  gospel".  As threads get more focused, new conferences will
                  be established.
                                
                                ANOTHER GOSPEL Conference

                  Statement: This conference is for the airing/debating of 
                  various theological opinions and beliefs which include 
                  orthodox Christian views, along with those that are 
                  considered by the orthodox Christian community as 
                  "another gospel". This area is for the discussion of these 
                  beliefs, and in doing so the following guidelines MUST be 
                  followed:

                  1.  Understand the definition of "another gospel" is as
                  such:
                  a. Any gospel that denies the ESSENTIALS of the orthodox 
                  Christian faith (the Deity of Jesus Christ, His Death,
                  Burial and Resurrection, the Trinity, Christ's Second
                  Advent, and all other essentials. If you have any questions
                  about this, please mail moderator, or download One_Net
                  Statement of faith).

                  2. NO FLAME MAIL AT ALL! PERIOD!
                  Knowing that this subject of exposing truth and error, with 
                  differing (and often opposing viewpoints) can cause very 
                  heated emotions, there is to be NO PERSONAL ATTACKS! This 
                  will not be tolerated by the moderator, nor any Sysop on the 
                  net. No foul, abusive, or derogatory remarks will be 
                  tolerated as  well. Remember, arguements achieve nothing,
                  and this forum is for debating opposing views.  So, in
                  keeping these things in mind, please be courteous. Beliefs
                  may be challenged and confronted, but this is never to be a
                  personal attack.    NEVER!

                  3.  Remember, others are using this system. 
                  Please do not say anything you would not want said to 
                  yourself. 
                  
                  4. Thread
                  Please keep the thread consistent. If the moderator deems a 
                  topic to be "off subject" from the purpose of the forum, the 
                  thread will be moved to the appropriate forum upon notice 
                  from the moderator.
        
                  5. Over-Quoting
                  Please refrain from over-quoting messages if possible. 
                  Remember, the sysops are often times footing the bills for 
                  the phone (LD), so please be considerate. Also, please 
                  don't feel you have to underquote something either. Please 
                  do what is necessary to answer a post, yet with personal 
                  discretion.

                  6. NO ALIASES!

     Host: Willam Woods

     Conference:  Bible Q & A
     Description: This conference focuses on Scripture interpretation.  
                  Direction in this conference should be focused at what does
                  the Word say, what does it mean, who was it written to, etc.
                  This is a good conference to get into if you like being in
                  the Word (and we hope that you do!).

                        Bible Questions and Answers Conference.

        Welcome to the One_Net Christian Network Q&A conference.

        Purpose:  This conference is designed to assist brothers and sisters
                  in understanding what God's Word has in store for them.
                  It is primarily an open forum for airing various different
                  questions about the Bible.  Many brothers and sisters will
                  undoubtedly respond with what the Lord has shown them about
                  any particular questions.
        
        Psalms 119:89 Forever, O LORD, Thy word is settled in heaven.
        (NAS)

        1 Pet 1:25 But the word of the Lord abides forever." And this is
        the word which was preached to you. (NAS)

        2 Tim 3:16-17 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable
        for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in
        righteousness; that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for
        every good work. (NAS)

        Eph 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of
        the Spirit, which is the word of God. (NAS)
        
        1 Tim 4:13 Until I come, give attention to the {public} reading
        {of Scripture,} to exhortation and teaching. (NAS)

                 The sacred Book, or collection of books, accepted by the
            Christian church as uniquely inspired by God, and thus
            authoritative, providing guidelines for belief and behavior.
                 Major Divisions. The Bible contains two major sections
            known as the Old Testament and the New Testament. The books
            of the Old Testament were written over a period of about
            1,000 years in the Hebrew language, except for a few selected
            passages, which were written in Aramaic. The Old Testament
            tells of the preparation that was made for Christ's coming.
                 The New Testament was written over a period of about 100
            years. The original language in which it was written was
            Greek. This portion of the Bible tells of Christ's coming,
            His life and ministry, and the growth of the early church.
                 Authority of the Bible. The authority of the Bible is
            implied by its title, "the Word of God." It is the written
            record of the Word of God which came to prophets, apostles,
            and other spokesmen, and which "became flesh" in Jesus
            Christ. Christians believe Jesus Christ was the Word of God
            in a unique sense. Through Jesus, God communicated the
            perfect revelation of Himself to mankind. For Christians the
            authority of the Bible is related to the authority of Christ.
            The Old Testament was the Bible that Jesus used-- the
            authority to which He made constant appeal and whose
            teachings He accepted and followed. When Jesus was arrested
            in the Garden of Gethsemane and led away to His execution, He
            submitted with the words, "The Scriptures must be fulfilled"
            <Mark 14:49>. He saw His mission in the world as a
            fulfillment of the predictions of the Old Testament.
                 The Canon of the Bible. The word canon means a "rod"--
            specifically, a rod with graduated marks used for measuring
            length. This word refers to the list of individual books that
            were eventually judged as authoritative and included as a
            part of the Old Testament and the New Testament.
                 Behind the Bible is a thrilling story of how God
            revealed Himself and His will to human spokesmen and then
            acted throughout history to preserve His Word and pass it
            along to future generations. In the words of the prophet
            Isaiah, "The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of
            our God stands forever" <Is. 40:8>.

            Since this conference is not designed for "theological" debates,
            but rather for the building up of one another in His Word, there
            shall be none of the following:

            1)  Flame mail.
            2)  Foul or abusive remarks.
            3)  Personal attacks.
            4)  Or any posts to prove something other than Orthodox
                Christianity.  ie,

            John 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with
            God, and the Word was God.  He was in the beginning with God. 
            All things came into being by Him, and apart from Him nothing came
            into being that has come into being. (NAS)

        AND:

            John 1:14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and
            we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the
            Father, full of grace and truth. (NAS)

            5)  Keep posts on thread.  If the subject becomes "off-thread",
                the conference moderator will ask you to move it to a more
                appropriate area.

            6)  No overquoting.  Keep quoting to a minimum.  A few lines are
                usually enough to get the idea across.

            7)  No Aliases.


        I pray that the Lord may use this conference to usher us all into a
        better understanding of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, His Grace, and our
        Christian walks with our Lord and Savior, through the cleansing of His
        Word.

                        May the Lord bless us all,
                                Your conference host,
                                                Ted LaPoint

     Conference:  His Coming...
     Description: This conference is focused at the "end times", were our hope
                  is.  We are told by Scripture that there will be signs.

     "His Coming..." is a conference for the discussion of things related
     to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.  We begin with two very
     important truths:

        * Jesus Christ >WILL< come again, as He promised, as it is revealed.
        ( Mark 14:62  Acts 1:11  Revelation 22:12 )

        * No one knows when that will be.
        ( Matthew 24:36  Deuteronomy 29:29 )

     From here, Christians have and will differ.  No system of end-times
     belief is completely without problems.  The guidelines for this
     conference should be simple.  Seek a greater understanding of God and
     His Word.  Seek a greater understanding and love for each other as
     brothers and sisters in Christ.  Seek to apply the knowledge of His
     sure return to our daily walk as Christians.  The glory is His.

        "Wherefore comfort one another with these words."  1 Thess 4:18


     Host(s):  Open

     Conference:  Jesus Only?
     Description: This conference is for those who may not know the Lord.  Why
                  Jesus?  What about all the other "religions"?  Let's win these
                  brothers and sisters to the Lord.
     Host(s):     Open (everyone, I hope)

     Conference:  News/Events
     Description: This conference is for informing the church of news in the
                  political, social, environmental areas.  There is so much 
                  happening in our nation and world today that it is difficult
                  to keep abreast of it all.  Anything that is newsworthy 
                  should be posted in this conference.  Christian events, such 
                  as Promise Keepers, Billy Graham, Harvest Crusades, etc. 
                  should also be posted in this conference.  Often times, we
                  don't act because we don't know.  Let this not be the case 
                  any longer.
     Host(s):     John Bozinny 
     
     Conference:  For Sale
     Description: Here is where you place things that you may have for sale.  
                  It is also a good place to ask if anyone has an item(s) that 
                  you may be looking for.

        1. All For Sale items MUST be named. In other words, do not post
           a product for sale, telling what it does or is, but not
           disclosing the name.

        2. All For Sale items MUST have a price posted in the ad.

        3. Using this forum to solicit distrubuters for a product is
           STRICTLY forbidden. In other words, do not go on a distributer
           fishing trip for Amway, etc. This forum is for SELLING and BUYING...
           not for finding distributers!

        4. Absolutely NO copyrighted material may be sold in this forum unless
           you own it! In other words, if you're selling software, you have
           to sell the whole package and keep NO copies for yourself.

        5. BUSINESSES & INDIVIDUALS may sell ANYTHING as long as it does not
           violate any rules and it is not illegal.

        6. Absolutely NO foul language or rudeness will be tolerated.

        7. This network will NOT be held responsible for any damage resulting
           from the use of any product, service, or advice sold in this forum.

        8. ALL sellers must agree that what they are selling will not be DOA
           (dead on arrival) and that the item will perform as advertised. In
           other words, if you're selling a toaster, then it should make toast.
           If you claim that a monitor is in "like new condition", then it
           should be exactly that. I guess the whole idea here is complete
           honesty.

        9. Do not sell anything in this forum that you wouldn't be proud to
           own yourself.

        10. ABSOLUTELY NO pornographic, adult, or non-Christian-like material
            (such as adult or demonic games or adult Gifs) shall be posted in
            this forum. Simple rule folks... if it isn't something Jesus would
            sell, then you shouldn't either. THIS rule includes a penalty...
            First offense will get you a simple warning... second offense will
            result in a 30 day suspension from the FORUM. Third time... well...
            THREE STRIKES AND YOU'RE OUT!! There are not necessarily any
            penalties for breaking any other rules... we will just kindly
            remind you of them. The penalty is for THIS RULE ONLY and the
            "you're out" means out of the For Sale conference... not the
            entire net!

        11. Firearm (gun) sales are strictly forbidden on the net.

        12. Above all, BUYER BEWARE! You need to know who you are dealing
            with here. I would suggest looking for a pattern of sales or
            messages from an individual before sending them a check or
            money order. Always use a credit card when possible as your
            credit card company will always go to bat for you when there are
            problems. Sellers must keep in mind that if they sell something
            and cash a check, that constitutes a legal contract and they are
            legally obligated to send the item. If an item is purchased and a
            check or money order is cashed but the item is not sent within
            2 weeks of the transaction, the police department in the sellers
            city will be notified of the fraudulant act and they will follow
            through with a complete investigation. Also, providing a false
            credit card number to a seller constitutes a federal offense and
            any such activity will be fully investigated by the FBI.

            Thanks in advance for your cooperation. I certainly and sincerely
            hope and pray that there is no need to enforce any rules here.
            Please feel free to sell whatever you like within the guidelines
            and may the Lord bless you and keep you. Please feel free to leave
            me a message at any time with any questions about the forum.

            God Bless you all...

     Conference:  Men to Men
     Description: This is a men only conference.  It is provided for men to
                  encourage other men in thier walks, singleness, marriages,
                  familiy, service to the Lord, etc.  This is the place where

                  that God has appointed.  Women are not allowed to post in
                  this conference.

          Welcome to the One_Net Christian Network's "Men to Men" conference.
          It is our desire to provide a place for men to share with other men
          their joy and praise, as well as their tears and their burdens.
          Women are welcome to read this conference, but we would ask them to
          respect the intent and refrain from posting here (thank you
          ladies!).  The usual net guidelines apply here too.

          Scripture tells us David was a man after God's own heart... and
          what higher goal can any of us pursue?  It is my prayer that such
          will be the goal for all of us, and this conference is offered
          with the hope of serving that focus.

          Ps 1:1-3
          How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the
          wicked, nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of
          scoffers! But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in His law
          he meditates day and night. And he will be like a tree firmly
          planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season,
          and its leaf does not wither; and in whatever he does, he prospers.
          (NAS)

          We've all read the poem "Footsteps", and we've all been touched by
          it.  But you know guys, when I turn around and look at the footsteps
          in the sand of my life, I want to see in the hard times, the
          footprints of my Savior carrying me, surrounded by the footsteps of
          my brothers walking together... what do you say?  Join us, won't
          you?

     Description: This is a women only conference.  It is provided for women
                  to encourage other women in thier walks, singleness,
                  marriages, familiy, service to the Lord, etc.

        It is time for us as women to rise up to the level of Godly living
        we were created to enjoy.  We were created to know and serve God
        and enjoy Him forever.  We were created to be the support for men
        that God intended.  We can only rise up to that level when we're
        on our knees.  Our men and children need our prayers and loving
        support.  It's time to stop listening to the world and start
        listening to the Creator of the world.

                  not a bad witness to the name of Christ.  The purpose
                  of this conference area is to have fun.  This

        These are the rules and regulations for the ONE-NET Hobbies & Sports
        conference.


        1.  We are in the presence of the Lord.  Be accountable in your
            posts. Be clear and concise, but remember that you're to have fun
            here.

             1 Peter 3:15-16
             but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always {being}
             ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an
             account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and
             reverence;  and keep a good conscience so that in the thing in
             which you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior
             in Christ may be put to shame. (NAS)

             This, obviously, means that there will be NO FLAME-MAIL.
          1) First and foremost, no profanity, flaming, or personal
             attacks will be  tolerated.  This is a Christian conference and
             is carried on many  Christian bulletin boards. Please remember
             that when you write a message, you are being invited into many
             people's homes, so please act accordingly.

          2) Over quoting is to be avoided.  Don't quote the entire post. Keep
             messages short, clear and concise!

          3) All messages are to remain on topic.  If the thread changes, move

     Conference:  Culinary Arts
     Description: Food, food, and more food!  This conference is dedicated to
                  our stomachs (one of our favorite things).  So, recipes,
                  new discoveries or adventures in the kitchen are welcome
                  here.

     Host:  Open

     Conference:  One_Net Precinct
     Description: 

                Listen up, People!  Attention to roll call!

        When your name is called, answer "HERE."  I will pray that
        your name is called.  This Conference is about cops and cop
        stuff.  Anything pertaining to police work is the topic,
        however, since police work encompasses the entire human condition
        much latitude is given within reason....just tie it in to cop
        involvement.

        Keep in mind that our Chief of Police here is also our Lord
        and Master and He attends EVERY roll call!  If you wouldn't
        say it in His presence, don't say it to a brother or sister.
        He is always present!  If you worry about offending the Chief or
        your personal worldy boss, keep in mind he can only mess up your
        life.  Considering the authority our Lord has should you not worry
        more about offending Him?

        Our text of the day....every day, is Romans 13.
