The Freedom Preacher forum serves as an important accessory to the Freedom Preacher website. Its primary purpose will be to make ongoing discussions about many of the Freedom Preacher articles possible.

One of the great things about the Internet is the possibility for two way interaction. I hope that the opportunity to discuss the concepts and issues that I raise in many of the Freedom Preacher articles will not only make them more enjoyable, but maybe help to get the message across. I think it is more important than ever that we learn how to get along better, and these ongoing discussions just might help.

How it works

I think most people are familiar with online forums, and the Freedom Preacher forum is essentially a regular forum. There are a couple of things that might be different or unexpected which I will explain here.

Anyone can view the forum. Posting requires a paid membership.

Very few online platforms allow unrestricted posting access. Spam, all by itself, provides more than enough reason to limit access. By requiring a modest fee for posting privileges, I hope to build a membership that is as committed to improving our ability to get along with each other as I am.

You can find pricing information for the Freedom Preacher Forum posting access here.

Most of the forum will be dedicated to discussions about Freedom Preacher articles.

One thing that may seem different compared to many online forums is the ability to create new discussions or new topics. In the Freedom Preacher forum, there is one section in which members can create new topics. This is the exception, however, since everywhere else in the forum discussions are linked to, and limited to, discussions about articles on the Freedom Preacher website.

This linkage of Freedom Preacher articles to Freedom Preacher forum discussions should have the effect of making the forum an interactive extension of the website. For those who like the idea of some interaction and discussion about the concepts presented on the website, the forum will provide an alternative to the Freedom Preacher private sessions and the Freedom Preacher Zoom sessions.

I will do my best to respond to as many postings as possible, at least the ones that seem like they could benefit from a response. In this way I will be able to provide a “Freedom Preacher” perspective on some of the issues raised in the forum.

How does the “linkage” between the website and the forum work?

I will provide screenshots in this section. Many articles on the Freedom Preacher website will include a red “forum discussion” button in the right-hand column. If you click this button, you will arrive at the corresponding discussion on the Freedom Preacher forum. Anyone can read the discussions, and forum members can post replies.

Policies for “acceptable use” will be similar to those for most forums and online discussion groups.

All the standard policies found on most online forums will apply here: no personal attacks, no profanity, no spam. In addition, postings to discussions about Freedom Preacher articles should remain focused on the article involved. There will be one open section of the forum in which members can post pretty much anything, provided they remain observant of the form policies.

Enjoy the forum!

I am hoping to build an online community dedicated to the idea that we really can get along with each other, thereby making the most of our time in this “quite imperfect world.” We might not be able to make it perfect, but I believe we can make it better.
