Hi everyone!
I’m new…am I following the proper protocol just jumping in like this? I didn’t see any links specifically for new people to introduce themselves. So I am brazenly starting a thread. Please be gentle. : )
I’ve “lurked” at a few forums here for a while and thought I might fit in. My life at the moment is kind of isolated and I wanted to try to reach out to others. Since joining a week ago today, I’ve contributed a couple of comments where I thought I may have something worthwhile to offer.
I would very much like to fellowship with Christians with kind hearts. I’ve witnessed some rough behavior on some other threads and want nothing to do with it. Yesterday morning I logged into the chatroom and within minutes someone had sent me a private message…I was warned that the website he was trying to link me to (or whatever he was trying to do) had sexually explicit material and users had to be over 18. Has this happened to any other women here?
I told myself that maybe it was a good thing that happened to me instead of another woman who may not have been able to handle it as well as I could…then a while later I sort of freaked out a bit. : ) I’m not particularly naïve, I don’t think, but I was not expecting that kind of behavior. I was also disappointed because it was the first time I’d logged onto chat and the topic of conversation was one to which I would have felt comfortable contributing… and of course I ended up logging off.
I know that unfortunate incident does not represent this website or its members. Frankly I didn’t want to keep it to myself, if you know what I mean.
Anyway, I'd love to fellowship here and hope to make some friends! : )
