Patience, Please! This is a large, and possibly a slow load, because you can access all of the 1,000+ pages in the User Forum from here. You may also access the individual Chapter Forums one page at a time from their matching Grandfather's Family Bible pages, to avoid the long loading time. Just visit the chapter you wish to comment about. This page is for high-speed users. Dial-up users should go to the chapter pages. Thanks for your understanding.

Forum Rules

Offensive Actions
Do not use language and/or images that may be offensive to other members, such as abusive, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, threatening, or sexually-orientated language or images, or any other material that may violate any applicable laws. Language that includes profanity, or that violates other rules are not allowed.

Links to images from sites other than the Forums
Any link to images that are deemed offensive, obscene, or vulgar will be removed and the poster will be warned. If the image linked to is of a sexual nature, the poster will be automatically removed and banned for life. Grandfather's Family Bible does not condone any posting of material or images that belittle either gender and will not tolerate such actions.

Law Violations
Do not promote or solicit illegal activities or violate any copyright laws.

Flooding and Duplicate Posts
Do not create an execessive amount of topics in a short period of time about the same subject. An example would be someone creating 10 topics within 2 minutes about their website before receiving any replies. Do not create duplicate "Copy and Paste" topics, even if they are located in different forums. Constantly posting on "dead" topics which receive no replies to spam another website's services is also considered flooding.

Other Boards
Links to other forums are allowed depending on the site content and/or forum subjects. In no way do we endorse or are we responsible for the off-site links that users post. Links to forums that may be offensive or insulting to others will be removed based on the Moderators decision.

Blatant Spamming
If the majority of your posts or reasons for being here is to spam other websites, then topics will be moderated. This rule is in place for those who only come here to spam and nothing else, which doesn't help the Christian community.

Mimicing
Do not impersonate other members of Grandfather's Family Bibles' Bible Study Forums. This would result in your immediate ban.

Moderation Complaints
If you have a question or comment regarding a moderation, contact the Administrator or the Moderators privately. Complaints posted which concern forum moderations will be either locked or removed, since a lot of members wish to enjoy the forums without having to put up with the drama.

Trolling
This is a rule which is implemented on a lot of huge forums that helps prevent a few moderations. Trolling is when someone intentionally tries to instigate a problem or tries to solely annoy others. This rule will be judged by the moderators on whether the individual is intending to cause trouble or not

Respect the Rules
Do not make any insults against the moderators or the administrator of Grandfather's Family Bibles' Bible Study Forums.

Final Statement
Grandfather's Family Bible offers this free service for the promotion of good Christian dialogue among the diverse members of the body of Christ. Anyone who deliberately violates the rules to cause trouble will be warned or banned depending on the severity of their actions. The Site Administrator and Moderators have the right to edit or delete any message, titles, member name, signature, image or related content on its boards at any time, without notification.

While the Administrator and Moderators of this forum will attempt to remove or edit any generally objectionable material as quickly as possible, it is impossible to review every message. Therefore you acknowledge that all posts made to these forums express the views and opinions of the author and not the Administrator and Moderators (except for posts by these people) and hence will not be held liable. You agree that the Site Administrator and Moderators reserve the right to delete any message for any reason whatsoever if they feel it is inappropiate.

Furthermore, we reserve the right to not disclose our reasons for deleting message(s). Grandfather's Family Bible is not responsible for the loss of any messages, or any other data stored in the database. The forums are free for use by all members. Therefore Grandfather's Family Bible has the right to make any necessary changes to the forums if deemed necessary. If a topic you have created is moved to the appropiate forum by the Site Administrator or Moderators, do not consider this as a punishment, it is just a way to keep the forums organized. However if you continue to deliberately post in the wrong forums or create identical topics in more then one forum you would be politely informed of where to post your topics. I try not to be strict on this matter and understand some members do not really understand where to post certain messages. Should a violation of the rules result in a user being banned, any new accounts created by the user will also be banned. Please respect the members of Grandfather's Family Bibles' Bible Study Forums and enjoy your stay. Use this site to meet new friends, there is no need to stir up trouble and it will not be tolerated.

Repeated or severe violations of the rules after banishment or engaging in actions we deem as abuse of the boards will result in dire consequences (you’ll be turned over to the proper authorities in the case of illegal activity.) If you do not agree to these rules or choose not to obey them, then do not post here.

Thanks and I wish all of you the best.
