UPDATE: DISQUS Channel System Removal, Safety Tips & Helpful Information

Peace to you.

Previously, I shared with you all that DISQUS is sunsetting the Channel System. I look forward to the sunsetting of channels and welcome the end of this season. I ran my race here. I finished my course. I shared Jesus Christ and truth as often as I could with everyone I could...even through intense cyberstalking, death threats, death wishes, rape fantasies, etc. I am not responsible for anyone who rejected Him (their blood is on their own heads).

I am working on a blog for us. I will be tagging those I trust to our new blog (with instructions). I have taken some suggestions from Mick in that area. There are certain things you guys should know:

1. Be careful when visiting and posting on certain blogs and websites. Why? Because they can see your IP address, which can be used to identify you, your address, etc. If you choose to comment or post on blogs/websites, etc., be sure to use a VPN.

2. Try to avoid shady blogs and users, sealioning - those who will (intentionally) waste your time and try to raise your blood pressure, and troll-rich environments. There are a number of sites that allow the targeted harassment of Christians, conservatives and moderates, discord, strife, etc., in an effort to increase their numbers.

3. Do not feel any pressure to respond when I tag you...my feelings will not be hurt if you do not respond or accept the invitation. Again, I will only reach out to those I trust who have asked me to reach out to them. Most of all, I want you all to be safe online and offline. In my tags, I will not ask for any personal information (name, age, address, nor any other identifying information). For my personal private blog, I may need your email address to make you trusted users, but I recommend you use an email address dedicated solely to blogging that is not connected to your regular every day email address (if you would like to be whitelisted as a trusted user). PLEASE DO NOT GIVE OUT YOUR EVERY DAY EMAIL ADDRESS. PLEASE.

In all honesty, I planned on moving on after the sunsetting of channels. I didn't see a need to further till a ground that we have already tilled and where we have already planted and sown. But, there are a few who have asked us to continue. For them, I have considered this option.

Finally, it has been a blessing meeting, discussing and serving with you all. I've grown in my Christian faith and walk with God. Every person here has taught me something. Remember, the ministry continues long after DISQUS sunsets channels. Some of you, I will never chat with again after 9/1/19, until we get to heaven that is :). We hasten the return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I love you guys. You may see me sharing that message of love more the closer we come to the end of this journey. It's because I want you to know that you are loved before we part. God loves you and so do i (I know "I" should be capitalized, but that was a shout out to Amos :).

Let's finish these last few weeks strong.
