I was unable to complete the sixth step in CCCC. I read it but was unable to digest it and write about it. But, I wish to share something that happened. I had posted at my previous site what a blessed morning it wasand that at particular moment i was at peace, and then i gave a personal account of focusing on God and how I know no matter what I have gone through or Will go thru that it is as long as I focus on God it is so much easier and much more peace.

Well, that friend IMd me and said they were asking all journalers to refrain from discussing God in public forums and stated that the site had been in an uproar over 9/11.

It ate at me. Maybe I should've just let it go and let God. I made one final post to the forum titled: You've got to stand for something, or u'll fall for anything. in which i stated that the site had been helpful for me and if they found theirselves feeling support then encouraged them to continue using the site as long as it has a positive influence. Life has many avenues of healing. And then I wished them all much abiding peace on thier journies. Now underneath that I said i was Imd by a friend who advised me that my previous post was inflammatory to the site. And that my posting had been changed to friends only. And I mentioned various people (this person being included) that i was leaving the site and told them they made a diff to me and I am sure for others. But that i found myself confronted with the thought of staying there and essentially denying my faith, as I was unable to post about it in public forum and that that i couldnt do that I had to stand for my God and my faith. I told them all i luv them and i wished them all much love and peace on their journeys,

Well, my friend IM's me back ( this person used to run the Christian part of that program) and said they took THAT one as inflammatory and questioned whether i was singlehandly trying to destroy the site. I told my friend that if I had intended it to be inflammatory that I wouldve said alot more and that i was saddened by her decision to take me off friends list.
And I would take her off friends list as she had said she was taking me off of hers and I was going to respect her wishes.

This has been my night. I am curious and am looking for opinions here. Was my final post baiting? Should i have just not made a final post? I dunno. What is righteous way to handle this? Did i do the right thing?
