CHRIST_NET Policy updated 17/05/97 by Harold Robbins, Moderator.
CHRIST_NET - National Network Conference Message Base (A private Echo)
I. PURPOSE: (see note 3.)
a. To Glorify Jesus Christ through word and prayer over a computer network.
b. To Study with openness, Agape Love, and understanding the Word Of God, the
Bible.
c. To Share the Christian Experience with others of like faith and doctrine.
d. To Encourage one another in a Fruitful Christian Spirit of Love.
e. To witness Christ's Word through the Holy Spirit to a lost and blind world
via the Natl Bible Echo.
(You need not carry the Nat'l Bible Echo to participate in Christ_Net or
vice versa. What I mean here is simply that in order to witness to the
those IN the world, one must have access to them. Since this is basicly a
CHRISTIAN Fellowship Net echo, you won't find them here. I believe that
the Nat'l Bible Echo is an EXCELENT way to witness to a lost and blind world
since it is carried on MANY SECULAR bbs systems.
If you are interested in obtaining Natl Bible Echo you should contact
Bob Hoffman on 8:8/0 as he is the Moderator of Nat'l Bible.
f. To establish a Christian link through a National Prayer Request Network.
g. To establish a "haven" for Christians to fellowship with one another
without interuption from non-believers (note, this means that unbelievers
(Non-Christians) are *NOT* to be allowed access into Christ_Net. For a
user to gain access into Christ_Net, he/she *MUST* request access and state
that he/she is indeed a Christian and believes along the lines stated below
set forth in condition a for the SysOp in regards to the definition of being
born again).
II. CONDITIONS (System Operators)
a. Must operate a System dedicated for the furtherance of the
Gospel of Jesus Christ, and advertise that fact publicly upon entry to
your system. I realize that the Lord calls us in different ways to
minister to different types of people, so while I don't insist that
a system have "Christian" posted all over it, I MUST insist that the
SysOp(s) be born again Christians. By born again I mean, they believe:
(Christ_Net's Statment of Faith:)
In the Trinity, that Jesus Died for our sins, that he rose again
victoriously over death, hell and the grave, in the virgin birth, and most
importantly have asked Jesus Christ into their hearts and confess him as
their Lord and Saviour over their lives. This applies to those who are
remote SysOp's as well, and thier USERS that PARTICIPATE in the echo.
They too must fulfill these requirements.
b. Must notify your users by posting this POLICY on your system where all may
view it and reprimand, if necessary, any offenders who post messages in
CHRIST_NET contrary to the PURPOSE as outlined above under heading I.
PURPOSE (a-f), including, but not limited to, exclusion of the offender
from further use of your Bulletin Board system. (MOST IMPORTANT see note
1 further down in this listing)
c. Must be willing to recognize the authority the Natl.Co-Ordinator has over
the Network Base and submit to this POLICY without question. (see note 2.)
(If you do have any problems with this aspect please talk to me about it
via Net-Mail. There are some areas where I am led to give some leway)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE:
1. Nature of reprimand up to the discretion of the Local Sysop who carries
Christ_Net.
2a. The Nat'l. Co-Ordinator has the right to discontinue feed from the Net
Systems where there are re-occuring offenders on a continual basis or
those systems where there is failure to comply with heading II.
CONDITIONS (a-c).
2b. It is the responsibility of the HUBS in the Network to distribute this
POLICY as well as updates to this POLICY to the Systems he/she feeds.
2c. It is the responsibility of the HUBS in the Network to send the Natl.
Co-Ordinator an updated list of any additions in Christ_Net to be added
to the Nat'l. Routing Diagram by the Nat'l Coordinator.
3. Each individual System Operator is responsible for the Net on his/her
System as pertains to this POLICY, and it is his/her duty to ensure
compliance under I. PURPOSE (a-f).
3a. Each individual System Operator is responsible for obtaining, completing,
and returning the Christ_Net application, which can be requested from
Harold Robbins, on 12:3000/9 before obtaining the feed for Christ_Net.
These files are titled C_NETAPP.ARC & C_NETPOL.ARC as well as a file which
has both included called APP&POL.ARC. These files can be file requested from
myself or any of the other listed hubs. The Hubs then have the athority to
o.k. the application providing that they are willing to comply with 2c.
Otherwise you will need to send the compleated application to myself,
Harold Robbins, on 12:3000/9. (If any of the Hubs DO have a problem with
this let me know and I'll note this in the LISTED HUBS section of this
policy).
3b. Failure to comply with 3a could result in the loss of the Christ_Net
feed until such time as said SysOp(s) complies with the requirements
in 3a.
3c. Anyone found providing a feed of Christ_Net to anyone else without the
expressed permission of myself (the Co-ordinator/moderator of Christ_Net)
COULD lose their own feed of Christ_Net.
NOTE: This echo was originated by Debbie Clement as a private echo and
expressedly not a part of any particular network. It was distributed mainly
in FamilyNet (then The Network) and CFN but private distribution was also
permitted and encouraged with the expressed permission of the Moderator or
"National Coordinator". Debbie retired and passed the Echo to Mike Shupe in
Virginia. When Mike retired he made the echo part of CFN and passed the
rights to the echo to Harold Robbins of CFN. This echo is specifically a CFN
echo and distribution outside of CFN is permitted only with the expressed
consent of the moderator.
