Hi all,
I wasn't going to write anything like this, but there have been enough questions that I guess I should.
I appreciate the thanks, and I want you all to know you are very welcome to whatever help you can derive from this forum. I pray always that this will be a help to people.
I started this forum because my own marriage had transformed from nearly sexless to pretty incredible over a period of a few years. This was largely due to contact with a few people who helped us overcome our problems and a lot due to Laura's book. Sadly, I lost my wife and companion of 28 years in 2008. I was blessed to meet a wonderful new lady in 2009, and we were married in just a few weeks.
I have discovered a lot of interesting things from others through this forum and have learned a lot. I don't post on this forum because I don't want to be seen as any kind of authority, which I am not. I have held many callings in the Church, as most of you have, but I do not in any way represent the Church or its policy.
I am in a position to easily support this forum financially, so that is not an issue for me.
I know that many disagree with the decisions I have made in management of this forum. Many think that it is "too racy", others "too conservative". I have tried to balance things to the best of my ability. I have prayed for hours about the "Non-Traditional" section. My initial thought was to remove it, but I decided that to impose my standards on the forum would be a kind of moral censorship that I did not want to be a part of.
I ask all of you to show love and tolerance for each other and leave judgement to a just God.
Your brother.
Don
