Just thought that I would share with the MFP community and staff, since I know that they are reading this along with every other post that is on here, you won't have to worry about me EVER posting on here again. I was unaware of the guidelines when I posted yesterday that I thanked a certain someone and I won't mention it because I will just get deleated again. I have seen things on here that are way more disgusting, offensive, and rude and I don't like it, but I ignore it. So thanks MFP for deleating a post that talked about how great I felt after losing 15 lbs. in 5 weeks, I did feel great but not now. Oh and by the way, I had no idea there were guidelines and if I would have known, I would have read them, but I thank one person and I get deleated but yet people post RUDE jokes and talk about their sexualility openly and other things but yet that's okay. I will just find another way to share with others about my success.

    AMEN! Before they close/delete this one too :)

    Sorry about whatever happened. I agree with you that I have seen some pretty lewd, rude and offensive stuff on here also. I ignore it like you do. It's sad however when you can't even say you are a Christian without the post getting locked or deleted.

    Making snarky comments to provoke a person isn't very nice either. Some people spell better than others, I'm sure that you aren't perfect either.

    Why swear off on ever posting again now that you know the guidelines?

    Josh - You keep up the fantastic work. Losing weight is hard, and you can do all things in Christ.

    Keep going and don't let these message boards get you down!

    That's what the group area is for. Find a group that follows whoever you want to thank and feel free to thank all you want there.

    I saw all that happen and thought it was a bunch of crap, as well! Shocking, really! It's a shame how so much "trash" is acceptable yet you can't mention Jesus Christ? I read these boards daily and the amount of rudeness...perversion...degrading remarks people make to others is ridiculous...but, apparently somehow acceptable!

    A link to the Guidelines is at the foot of every page on MFP afaik.

    The problem is that people can't act like adults and actually encourage one another instead of bringing them down. I guess it helps some people feel better about themeselves to make rude comments and bully someone about something.

    I'm not sure what this post is about, but I sure do wish I knew.
    He posted thanking the almighty's son (no not santa) for his weight loss, and because religion is frowned upon in public forums, his topic was deleted. I still thought the 40lbs was encouraging enough and even sent a buddy (hay sous) for support

    Wait, on a serious note, OPs post got deleted bc he thanked Jesus Christ for helping him in his weight loss? Am I understanding that correctly?

    That is RIDICULOUS. You should be able to talk about Jesus all you want, man.

    I mean, I talk about unicorns and pine cone bird feeders all the time, Jesus should be an acceptable topic as well.

    I saw your post, people say thank God all of the time or thank you Jesus, it's too bad people can swear on here and talk about sex all day long, post nasty pics but you can't say thank you Jesus for allowing me to lose weight. I am sorry it was deleted. It's not like you went on about religion etc which is against the guidelines, you however just gave thanks and that was it. I guess they saw something offensive about it. Hang in there and you stay positive and you don't give up. good luck with your goals

    I am not sure what post got deleted, but i am sensing that the OP thanked Jesus Christ and that got his post deleted? SAD!!!!

    @OP, don't let that discourage you. There are alot of Christians on MFP and Jesus does not need the acknowledgement of an MFP forum to accept the thanks and praise you give to his name.

    Keep the flame burning, we will do the same right along with you. :flowerforyou:

    Great job on your loss. And yes we give God praise :smile:

    Josh, I really enjoyed your post and reading of your faith. I, too, am not ashamed for my beliefs and for who I credit for my strength and motivation.

    Unfortunately, the world we live in today demands 100% acceptance and tolerance of all beliefs and lifestyles. However, that world also refuses to accept and tolerate those who do not think as openly as them. The internet is the absolute worst proof of that, because people can easily hide behind a keyboard and a screenname.

    It's like someone told me when I was in college and struggling with a philosophy professor. You just take it like you're eating a watermelon. Eat the good stuff, and just spit away the seeds. Keep your head up and keep working hard. In the end, it's your own personal faith and commitment is all that matters. But don't ever think that there aren't others who feel the way you do!
