approaching the Heavenly gift

Post by jeffrey09 »

I requested access a few days ago. Does it take sometime usually or did I miss something?

I think the moderators are just super busy and haven't gotten to us yet. :)

There's no initiation. Mods just do their best to keep up. Just saw this post. You both should have access now. Despite what the public thinks, all that is asked is to be respectful. If people were respectful, the forum rules would be unnecessary, much less a private sub forum. :)

sen6b, you rumor monger. ;) no initiation is required. I requested access a few months ago and it took a few days to get a response. some of the moderators have been fighting an uphill battle lately, so they are probably a bit behind.
fwiw, there's a lot of Denver Snuffer discussion on the athg sub forum. there is debate with different points of view, but it stays pretty civil and generally respectful. if you can stay within the bounds of normal decency, you'll be fine.

Dancing around a maypole with tree frogs in your hand - waiting for the snake to drop from the rafters. :ymdevil:

No roses, please. You just have to click the link: viewforum.php?f=45" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Hi Jules -

Could I please get an invitation to the ATHG forum? You know I disagree with your points of view, but I promise to be respectful in your forum. (Just as I disagree with the Catholic Church, but don't go into a Cathedral and criticize the pope). I know you previously said I would not be a good "fit" for the forum, but I think you guys should give me a second chance.

If not, what do I need to do to get my application approved? I've already criticized Denver so much. Am I beyond redemption at LDSFF, such that I can never be given access to this forum? How do I go about repenting so that I can be worthy to have my application approved?

Actually, I just denied your request. Your behavior on the forum since you joined is reason enough to deny access to that forum. If your behavior in this area of the forum drastically changed, then you could be given a second chance. I still feel the same way I did initially - that you would not be a good fit. :)

Here are the rules of that area - in case there is any question. I'm going to lock this thread and ask that people PM one of the HG moderators if they would like to discuss access. Also, forgive us for not getting to all the requests immediately - we have a lot, and we also have lives. :)
Welcome to the Heavenly Gift Area.

These are the standards expected from everyone in this group. These standards apply to all areas of LDSFF. You can be removed based on behavior in the public sections of LDSFF.
The Heavenly Gift forum is intended as a private / safe place for discussing the Second Comforter and Gospel of Jesus Christ. Many of our participants are interested in the writings of Denver Snuffer, specifically his book "The Second Comforter", and similar messages from others.

We invite and accept anyone that is interested in participating in a way that contributes to a Christ-like, contention-free and respectful atmosphere - allowing others the priviledge of believing according to the dictates of their own conscience.

The web is full of sites, blogs and forums for those who are critical of the topics being discussed in the Heavenly Gift area. While we do not require that you agree with everyone on everything being discussed, this area is for those who are looking for a safe place to share their thoughts and beliefs.

Accounts with zero posts will not be approved. If you have not otherwise posted and as part of evaluating your application, we'd like you to post a general introduction post to the main forum.

In addition, we'd like you to send an Email to this message letting us know why you are interested in participating with us, whether that is because of your interest in the writings of Denver Snuffer, other authors, or other reasons.

Thanks!
And just to add some clarification - for everyone that read this... "Denver Snuffer" was removed from the description of the Heavenly Gift forum but this should still remain a safe place to discuss his writings.. it is his writings that have attracted many people to this private forum area.

This should be a safe place to discuss writing/blogs/books from Denver Snuffer as well as others, be it Hugh Nibley, Avraham Gileadi, Max Skousen, Doug Mendenhall, Joseph Smith, John Pontius and so many others. It should be a place where you can discuss ideas, opinions and beliefs without contention and without being ridiculed and insulted by others for possibly believing differently than they do or even differently than what some interpret to be the mainstream accepted beliefs of the LDS Church.

Please just be respectful to the beliefs of others - allow them to share freely and be willing to hold your tongue if you happen to strongly disagree - fortunately most people here are like-minded but still we aren't always going to agree with everyone on everything - we tend to be the type of people that are thinking out of the box and outside of the mainstream.
ANYONE WHO POSTS HERE AGREES TO KEEP ALL POSTS IN THIS SECTION. DO NOT COPY POSTS OUTSIDE OF THIS FORUM UNLESS YOU OBTAIN PERMISSION FIRST!

We want this to be a place for likeminded people. If you feel strongly that you cannot join in fellowship with others in this forum, you are under a responsibility to inform a moderator so that you can be removed. Further, if others feel that you are disagreeable, then you may be removed.

Consider this place the living room of your hosts and behave as if you are there in person. Debates and even disagreements happen in living rooms, but there is always a level of love, fellowship, and politeness that is maintained. If that is not maintained you will be asked to leave just as you would be if you were creating a ruckus in someone's home.

EDIT 2014-02-08

I guess the general rule is if you wouldn't like someone coming in and saying stuff about Joseph and people you accept as prophets, then you probably shouldn't say it about Denver. And on the flip side, be as open minded about Denver as you would want other people to be about Joseph.
