Faith on Fridays,....for those that believe in God and want some encouragment

@Joannie 

I have just posted this message to Tennille on her post as well as 

Dear oh Dear!  I think it's time to take a deep breath and perhaps take a break and come back when you are feeling a little refreshed, had a walk, cup of tea or whatever you find helps to relax you, whether that be in an hour or so or a week or so 

Please be mindful that @Giovanna and the others do a damned good job.  We are a mix of all different stages of treatment, walks of life, the affect on us personally and everyone conveys their message as best they can but sometimes it is misconstrued.

Take care

Hello @Joannie,

Thank for your message.  As I mentioned on both of the threads that you are referring to, it was not my intention to offend you.  I was merely trying to add conversations to the respective categories in the online forum.  I am really sorry that you have taken offence to this.  The threads have remained in the discussion forum.  As one of the online moderators, my role includes reading all of the content posted in the online forum and making the necessary adjustments, while making sure that it is a safe and supportive environment for all.

You ask if there has been some feedback, yes there has been some feedback from other community members regarding the following threads below and keeping discussions in the relevant categories i.e. (A beautiful hymn for those that believe in God & Faith on Fridays, for those that believe in God and wont some encouragement).

You mention below

@Zoffiel I was about to respond to your comment you just put up, and seems all the comments contributed today by a few others have been taken down also..... and they were comments that welcomed this thread. 
Same with the other thread... all new comments have been removed.
Sorry about that.

I have at no point over this weekend deleted any of your posts or anyone else's posts that have been added to your threads and just wanted to make this clear to you and other forum members. I have also at no point said, that I have a problem with the title of the post or the use of the ‘God’ word or the topic.  I have only made one adjustment this weekend, and that was closing your thread titled ‘I am leaving the forum’ in which you specifically asked me to do so.

Moderating the online forum is not an easy task.  It can be really tricky trying to please everyone and as we have said we don’t always get it right.   If you have any concerns regarding my role as moderator or your experience in the online network you are most welcome to contact @Marianne_BCNA Manager, Member Services Team and or @Kirsten_BCNA CEO of Breast Cancer Network Australia.

Who knows but they should be for all to see not just a particular group. You never know when your comment may help or reach someone.

Thanks to the pettiness of the moderators. I too will be leaving the BCNA forum. Seems swearing is ok. Mentioning God is not. Guess we are now being told how we can Express ourselves. So much for freedom of speech.

Hi there @Joannie . I really appreciate you putting up your post. I think everyone deals with this shit fight that is bc in their own way and your way is your way and that is just fine with me. I actually have faith. I’ve been through plenty of shitty stuff that’s true and I’ve screamed ..... what the fuck many times but I’ve also Had many good things happen to me also,  and I’ve seen a lot of miracles in my nursing  career so there must be something out in the universe watching over us whatever that Is. And believe me when I was first diagnosed I can guarantee you I prayed like shit to get through the toxic waste that was about to be fed into my veins. So your post most definitely has a place on this forum and if it gives only one person some encouragement then it’s been a good thing. We are all entitled to believe whatever we want to believe, there will be no judgement or offence  on here from anyone and if there is well then just don’t read it ..... simple. Big hug love.
