Welcome to the Fidonet OPEN_BIBLE Conference!
 OPEN_BIBLE is for rightly dividing the Truth of Scripture.
 Here are the rules as of April 1, 1998:
    +-------------------------------------------+
    | SYSOPS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONTENT OF |
    | MESSAGES ORIGINATING FROM THEIR SYSTEMS.  |
    +-------------------------------------------+
 By posting in this echo, participants agree to uphold this policy.
 This is an English-Speaking Conference. Please Post in English.
               Three arrows ( i.e. >>> ) designates
          recent adds or changes you should be aware of.
               TO SYSOP'S WHO CARRY THIS CONFERENCE
               ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    By carrying this conference, Sysops of participating systems
    agree to uphold this policy. In addition, refusal to accept
    netmail from the Moderator of Co-Moderator will result in
    immediate disconnect of feed.
    Please send replies to all Moderator-Sysop issues to:
    Harvey Smith, 1:100/519 Moderator OPEN_BIB, OPEN_BIBLE,
    or to Shoshona Bieman, 1:103/505 ...
               BLUEWAVE IS OFFICIAL OFFLINE READER
               ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    While not required, the Moderator recommends the use of the
    BlueWave Offline Reader. It is both quick and easy to install
    and use (excellent mouse and extended memory support too). It
    supports nine out of ten BBS message bundle types in wide use
    today including QWK (QWK, QW1, or QW2, etc.), Maximus, Telegard,
    Opus, QBBS, RA, and SBBS. BlueWave should be available on a BBS
    near you. If not, ask your SysOp for it.
                 "NO WARNING" POLICY ENFORCED
                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Any first time violation may result in immediate loss of access
    to this conference. Read carefully the limits contained herein;
    you may not get a second chance if you violate them.
        ***  THIS ENVIRONMENT MAY BE OFFENSIVE TO YOU  ***
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS NOT A CHRISTIAN ECHO.
    Do not expect to find Christian harmony here. There are groups
    of people who participate here who do not claim Christianity.
    You will find total disagreement here on almost everything, and
    with that, extreme controversy.
    While I encourage you to express your convictions (even if they
    are strong ones), be aware that others have strong opinions too.
    You will come under quite a bit of scrutiny from opposing
    viewpoints. Tolerance by the reader is crucial. Diplomacy is
    advised at all times, and will get you the best results.
