If someone doesn't believe in what you believe in then they don't need to go there. I'm Catholic so I go to a Catholic Church. I'm not a Buddhist so I don't go into their temples. Is it that hard. Never mind...I can hear the next argument now...
We're gonna need 8 new categories so that there is no discrimination. Hahaha!

Spiritual Support and Encouragement
This is a place for prayer requests, encouragement and support ONLY.
I think this is a great Idea,
When I worked in a factory many people knew that I was a christan. I was joke to many of them, until they needed prayer for a son who was sick, or a wife who had cancer or a divorce they were facing. What I found out that when you pray for a co-worker or a boss. You become closer friends thru the power of prayer and watching Jesus at work. I feel that we pwi are close due to are work.

I think if you have a forum for it and you don't want to post there then don't.To say religion and politics have no place here after some of the best threads we have had on here are Jeff loving up on Obama and the rest of us jumping on him is wrong.I think you could have meaningful religion discussions.I don't think you could post sermons on here and it would get a good response.I see a lot of threads asking for prayers requests already.If Al wants to have a segregated area where only christian posts could be made and the rules be very strict as to language and such then I disagree with it.I think that we are grown men and as such some talk and act in different ways and we have to learn to deal with it.Jesus didn't segregate himself from people he walked among them.

I'm all for it. Scott and I are fundamentally different on some of our views, but we've had some pretty good discussions in the past. You don't have to be a twin to be a brother.

Thanks guys for your support on this,
let me address a couple areas.....seems like the main reason someone might not want this is the fussing and auguring that it might generate.
As a Christian, most people when they meet me, they respect my beliefs and most of the time they will reframe their bad habits (ex. cussing ect.) and or will at least make an effort not to offend me.
That is just a show of respect that most people have in them somewhere.
Then you might have some that just don't have no respect for you or anyone else that just want to see someone blow up...
That is why we need to have moderators that support this, to nip it in the bud before it escalates into a big bashing contest, which is what I am fighting against on this board.
There needs to be a place here where that it is not allowed.
Most Christians would agree with this statement We are supposed to put God first above all, even our Wifes, Family and Work and IF we do that We will be Blessed in All Areas.
What the good side to this......Wouldn't it be nice if someone ask someone here how you came to know Christ and you told them on PWI board!!
I am going back to bed now, trying to catch on the sleep I lost last night.

Al I am not against religion,I'm not a great Christain Catholic, I pray, I talk to God but on a PWing BB. I am just not sure its the place for a section just about religion. What if a muslim, a jew, a pagon (sp) or others want to post or someone against religion. What if their view, christian or other wise is extreme, it will cause fights, its going to happen. Do we censor the extreme, do we censor the the group that doesnt believe in others views and they argue that view. A muslim, may not like the views of America, not even extreme views, they may just think that Ameerica cares more about jews and a fight could start. I just think there would be so much deleteing, moving post, people offended. The conversations will go towards, gays, abortion and even politics, it always does and there will be fights, we would be opening a can of worms that I don't think PWI needs or should get involved in
Just a slippery slope and I dont think its the place for this, sorry

this is a email from one on my family members that I just received, He is schedule to basically have the top of his skull removed to allow room for his Brain.
Hi Everyone!
This is a request for prayer and cards and pictures. Austin's surgery for his head is scheduled for July 29, at 10:00am, and may take about four hours. During one of his previous hospital stays, he noticed that other children's rooms were decorated with balloons, cards, etc. and thought they were having birthday parties in their rooms. What do you think about us decorating Austin's room this time? I thought I would get some balloons and decorate as soon as a room was available for him. And if we had cards and pictures for him to open after the surgery, he could then put them up on the wall near his bed. If anyone wants to make cards or pictures for him, you could mail them to me and I will get them together to give to Melissa or Mary.
I know this is email of now "MY" prayer request is off topic in a way, lets make a place to post it elsewhere, so we can ask for prayers from others on the board who are willing to put him in their prayers.
