H-F Netiquette and women in the bible

Greetings Saints in Jesus name!

About the subject of *women in the ministry* thread......

Remember we have Higher-Fire Netiquette posting guidelines by which
we use (keep in mind) prior to posting....

It just seems as though the posts are going around and around in circles
and we've started to re-hash something that's already hashed......

I like what Bro Richard did a couple of months ago when we were posting on
*veils* when we had to put a verse from Psalms 36 (I think) on the post
as a spirit check..... I think that's in order for this thread as well.

Any post ... when this post starts back up .... needs to have a verse from
Psalm 36 quoted ... or some other uplifting and edifying verse from the H.B.
To not include a verse of edification is grounds for immediate message 
discardation.

With that said..... lets... give the *women in ministry* thread a day's
rest..... no posts on it until Tuesday December 2.  Then keep in mind these
points of the netiquette guide:

B.  Are you monopolizing the conversation by posting too much?
 
Instead of replying at length to each message in a thread, compile your
replies into one post.  This forces you to think about such things as
structure and reasoned argument as you pull together the many lines of
thought in a thread.  It is also much more pleasant to read.

C.  Are you writing to the list, or just agreeing with the sender?

If the main message of your post is to say "Amen!" or "I agree
totally," please send the post privately.  Readers don't usually do a
tally to see how many people agree with a particular point of view.
The point of posting to Higher-Fire is to add to a discussion, blessing
people on the list, or other reasons of saint edification.  Sending a
post that quotes someone else at length and then just saying "Amen" at
the bottom does not add to the discussion.  It merely adds volume to
the list.  If you want the person to know you support them, tell them
so in private mail.

If you feel an "Amen!" is absolutely necessary, please include
something fresh as to how the previous post blessed you, effected you,
caused you to think more deeply about something.

D.  Has someone else already said what you want to say?

Read all the posts from HIGHER-FIRE (at least with the subject you want
to reply to) before you reply.  It's nice to be the first to offer a
suggestion, or make a reply, or ask a question in response to a post,
but because we are all from different parts of the world and we don't
all get mail at the same time it is impossible to always be first.
Make sure someone hasn't beaten you to the punch, and if they have,
keep quiet and just follow along in the thread until you CAN add
something unique.

E.  Are you posting an opinion on a topic, or have you become the
topic?

F.  Are you being disruptive?

G.  Has the discussion ground to a halt?

Sometimes, a discussion reaches the point where it is clear that
neither person is going to convince the other.  It is often best, in
these instances, to bow out gracefully.

Finally, do not subscribe to the theory that "some things just demand a
reply!"  Nothing demands a reply.  Sometimes it requires restraint to
keep from replying, but there's nothing wrong with remaining silent.  I
only know of one time that Jesus got angry and started shouting, even
though there were many provocations.  And when he did, he wasn't
defending himself, he was defending the sanctity of the house of God.
