Dear Thomas, I understand your feelings.. I think it is good to give a small explanation on the points you raised.
As of now, there is NO filtering or 'editing' done in JOYnet. I have received all your earlier mails in my mail account. I got your reply regarding 'Fate and Luck' yesterday itself and I liked your explanations... Good. Just now I checked the 'JOYnet Mail archive' in the JY site and your mail is available there, which means it has gone to all JOYnetters!! Even I got both your earlier mails 'for helping the person for the record book'. I suggest you check up with your mail server administrator for this problem. I doubt, the problem could be with your mail server!! Freedom of expression is one of the basic constitutional rights!! And we don't deny that in JOYnet. We say JOYnet is a global christian Family. We don't restrict the freedom of expression in our families, right?? Ofcourse, there may be some orthodox families were the parents are very strict and they won't allow their children to speak out. We can make out such children... They will keep quiet at home and once they come out of their family, they will talk all bad things about their strict father and mother.... We don't want JOYnet to become like such a family. The rule is simple.... If you don't allow people to speak in front of you, then they will definitely speak behind you!! I think the beauty of JOYnet family is its freedom. We all have equal rights and responsibility in JOYnet. We believe all of us are mature christians who has the ability to discern what is good and what is bad. When I look back to the JOYnet's four years history, it is wonderful and a miracle that none of the members misused this freedom.. I strongly believe that this is nothing but the power of the Holy Spirit.. Many times, many of us had the fear that what will happen to JOYnet if somebody start misusing it or if somebody sends some nasty and vulger mails to JOYnet... But so far, God was guiding this family... And I would like congratulate all the past and present members of the JOYnet for showing excellent maturity and discernment in JOYnet. So, dear Thomas, no need of such fear of 'punishment'. Please continue your good work in this JOYful family... Let's all work together for the kingdom of God. cheers!!
