A rather lengthy religious question and discussion about church policy was started on this board today. Some of our newer members may not be familiar with the Message Board Guidelines (sticky at top of page). The policy is stated as such:
We discuss all subjects on this board related to the struggles of AD spouses. Religious discussions are inappropriate and not allowed per Message Board Guidlelines (see sticky at top of page) Quote from the guidelines--"Religious and Political Discussions - Everyone of any faith or no faith is welcome on these boards to discuss their struggles with their spouses' Alzheimer's Disease. However, this is not the place to discuss, persuade, or influence anyone concerning one's private, personal, political or religious beliefs. These types of discussions are ripe for misunderstandings and offending those who do not agree with you. If you wish to discuss at length your political or religious beliefs, there are countless forums on the Internet that will meet your need. The Alzheimer Spouse website is NOT a place for these discussions and will not host them under any circumstances."
Whether you agree or disagree, I am asking everyone to please respect these guidelines and refrain from religious discussions.
