Moderators:

Who would like to help moderate the community? It isn't that hard. I'd like to see other people involved, just in case I go AWOL.

Moderation would be a group effort, other than outright banning cat haters. I'm serious about this, no exceptions. We haven't had a problem, but I'm not interested in closing the garage door after the cats have got out. I like to be proactive. I'm not sure if that's a power that non-administrators/moderators would have. I don't think I can make people co-admins. We'll see when someone(s) volunteer(s).

Your duties. Let me show you them.

Changing out the "featured video" once a week. I take the ones that haven't been featured from the "Cats on Film/Video" discussion, and retire the old one there.... unless they've already been posted.

Featuring discussions, like I'm going to do with this one.

Changing the decor ought to be a group admin/mod decision, with input from the group.

Please comment here, or send a private message if you'd like to help moderate.

Rather than commenting here, please send me a private message. I've just responded to two people who are interested.

Please add a warning to any posts where there are any disturbing pictures of cats, ie. violent death, torture, etc..., or discussion of such acts. This hasn't been a problem, but there's always a first time. Since people who join this group are cat lovers, it would be most considerate.
Ning now offers people the option to leave anything they've posted on the site if they should decide to end their membership on Nexus. I'm hoping that people will chose this option if they decide to leave. A couple of members left Nexus and deleted all their content who were members of our group, so now there are huge holes in conversations.

Please check to make sure that a topic hasn't already been started.  It's more fun or helpful if one topic continues through time, rather than each person making a post about the same or a similar topic, and then each of these posts sliding off the front page to obscurity.

Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film video

Posted by Debra Stevenson on May 21, 2013 at 2:37pm 0 Comments

There is a video of the Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film.  The man isn't demon possessed, there are likely no 'real' demons.  He's just delusional and doesn't want to accept personal responsiblity for his own behavior for his own dysfunctional life.

Do you support 'traditional' marriage, vot now ad

Posted by Debra Stevenson on May 21, 2013 at 2:28pm 2 Comments

There is an ad that reads ' Do you support 'traditional' marriage? Vote Now"!  .

 

 

No, I don't support 'traditional' marriage because there is no such thing. I support heterosexual and same-sex couples marry each other legally , yes.  'Traditional' marriage promoters largely do not believe that heterosexual women are co-equal to their husbands.  Their only purpose in 'traditional' marriage is to sexually satisfy their husbands if they can and raise children and do all…

i've got no problem with everyone saying "merry christmas" on christmas day.  however, they've turned it into an entire holiday season where it lasts a month or more.  in those situations it should be perfectly acceptable to say "happy holidays" or call it a…

My first funeral as an atheist

Posted by Two Cult Survivor on May 21, 2013 at 11:30am 0 Comments

I posted the bulk of this on another thread, but wanted to add some context separately.

I finally confronted my faith and embraced the fact of my atheism late last August, 2012. Days after I revealed my "epiphany" to a few friends who knew me from another message board, my sister died from Lou Gehrig's Disease (which pissed her off because she hated catching a disease from someone she never f---ed).

THAT was my sister, understand? She was a beautiful, life-loving, potty-mouthed…
