Dear Jys , This what i had to say .Put forward your suggestions too Good day Welchy ----- Original Message ----- From: Welchy To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 09, 2001 1:23 PM Subject: RE: service team Dear Mathew, Here some issues I have personally encountered & i am putting them in points. Too many forwarded mails ..(Infact i have 84 unread mails in my account) .I hope the parable net makes a difference now .Imagine a person in the cyber cafe planning to read all mails....Its such a sorry plight.!!!!!!!.I could imagine my self when I as on leave for 3 weeks . Some offensive mails .We have many people of other sects like new life,born again etc .etc.We need to really be careful of what we say so that they are not hurted in any way .-& in this case if some one is offended unintentionally , i think we should take up the initative to write to the person personally. People getting bored of the same topic. -keeping one particular topic for a maximum of 4 days or so.We shouldn't keep dragging the topic for days together. Respond to mails -Really important!!!!People then understand that we read & appreciate their mails Throwing up challenging qts like CC, JPM does !-Keeps your mind at spiritual work, even when ones schedule is hectic Getting personal with other members at Joynet -Some at JOynet have a impression that all of us are highly spiritual people & that they r no match for us on the Jynet.I think we need to get really personal ...making them aware of that all of us are no extraordinary people . Can have a counseling cell or something like that -which helps people who r in need of spiritually & emotionally I wish all birthday notifications that i receive not knowing who the other person is.If these notifications can carry some details of a person that would definely make a difference ..what say?????? Yes!!! There are times like people don't understand abbreviations.Infact ,I don't understand them most of the times ;-) We need to encourage more of testimonies . & finally as As we are Joynet Service team...Lets endeavor to give JOYnetters "Personalized Service ":-) I dont really know if these points are practical & if they make sense .But this is what i had in mind. & now that we all in the mood of giving suggestions..do give me something on welcome mails too!!!!!! I have a query??? do we ask people the reason when they unsubscribe from the joynet .?????? Keeping Jynet in my personal prayers Yours in Jesus & Mary Welchy ----- Original Message ----- From: Mathew Joseph To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 06, 2001 9:56 PM Subject: service team Hello Service team friends, Just thought of giving some statistics :-) Between 20-July and 05-Aug, 48 people joined JOYnet. But the JOYnet strength is increased only by 21. That means, 27 people unsubscribed from JOYnet during this period. Due to some thing or the other reason, we could not make these people feel home in JOYnet !!!! (This data is as per the intro forms) Is this a matter of concern?? An area where we need to pray... Also an area for us to improve. Another thing is.... When I look into the members profile, there are many non-indians. But we have very few non-indians and non-keralites active in JOYnet... Does it mean that we need to change our style and language?? Does it mean that non-indians (non-keralites too) find it difficult to understand and relate to what we talk in JOYnet?? Welchy, Lukas, Patrick.... please give your valuable suggestions in this regard.. Please tell us how we can improve JOYnet so that people from different countries feel free to partcipate in the activities... And how we can build a real global ministry... Please feel free to correct us... Others please share your opinion about this.
