The First Ever GBSTC NEWS post!
July 14th, 2006
Hey all! It's Rowena, trying something new (again).
I'm putting together a general update post, just to get together the info about general happenings in our guild and among our members.
--- --- --- --- ----
GUILD CLEAN UP!
So in the last week or so the crew has been working on cleaning up and cleaning out our guild. With Se Ga Takai's help, our members with 0 posts were officially banned, in an effort to cut down our 39 pages of members. As of Today, we are down to 25 pages of members, all of who have AT LEAST posted once during their membership. We also started a guild feedback sticky, so you all can let me know what you think is great, and how you think we can change what isn't great, about our guild.
Guild clean up will continue in several smaller ways over the next week or so, including some PMs to members who haven't been around alot lately (and you all feel free to remind people we exist), a few possibilities for new subforums/threads, and in general, just me figuring out how to be more efficient.

NEW SUBFORUM?
There is a thread going around that I started to get a general feel for if members would be interested in an "off topic" subforum. As of today the poll lists 100% of votes in favor of the new subforum.
everyone please visit the thread HERE and voice your opinion.
I am also looking for ideas for other subforums that would be of use to our members...so anyone with an idea, please PM me, Rowena Marion, or post in the new guild feedback sticky. ((PLEASE do NOT post responses in this thread! They will be deleted.))

Recent Additions
This section is to update everyone on the newest of members...those who have most recently given us an introduction.
Big Welcomes to cryptic_solitude and Scarletfox, the two newest intros!
cryptic_solitude
Hello. I am cryptic_solitude, cryptic, or Lori. You can call me whatever you want. ^w^
I'm 17 and going into my senior year in high school. My faith has been challenged over the past when I was much younger. I, wrongly, converted to a religion not supporting God and paid with plagues of nightmares (which, by the way, scared me half to death every night.). But, now I have returned to being a devoted christian. When I lived with my mother I never knew of God. The only way I was ever brought to the light of his salvation was through my grandfather (May God bless him in Heaven.). Now, I live with my father, happily, after all my mishaps with the law which I do wish to put behind me and move on to greener pastures. ^.^ My mother and father both don't go to church. So, even when I was at the age of say 7 or 8 I had to catch rides and tag along with neighbors. Now I try to tag along with friends, though, I do think they'e getting tired of me always bumming rides. Nya....must.....purchase....vehicle. And.....uhhhhmmmm.....other than that.......my life is fairly normal.......yup. ^.^; And, sorry for such a long winded intro to myself.

Scarletfox
Hello, I'm Scarletfox, I just joined.
Currently I am 18, female, and I just graduated high school. I like para para, music, art, and video games. I also have Body Dismorphic Disorder.
I have been a Christian my whole life, but I accepted Jesus as my savior in 6th grade. I was baptized a few months ago.
Laters.

Prayer Requests
a section for (obviously) prayer requests, the most recent from our members. so:
Mencha-Bloom would like us all to pray for the parents of her dad's friend, who died recently. Their son was their support and his parents are very on their own.
Rowena Marion would like prayer for a bad situation among a circle of friends. Prayer for peace for a friend feeling rejection and healing for the relationships possiblhy damaged. She would also like prayer for herself, that she would have the grace and composure not to explode at them.
Draycore would like prayer for his relationship with his girlfriend, because things don't seem great right now.
Allaraina is going through a hard situation involving her parents, particularly her dad. please pray for her and her father, specifically for healing within their relationship.
Se Ga Takai just got fired...so pray for a new path God is opening up to him, a better/new job, and not to much accumluated debt in the meantime.
And for any unshared requests!

Praise Reports
a section for (again, obviously) reports of praise--celebrations of GOOD THINGS happening in our lives.
Chaos_Bunny's cousin successfully had her baby!
Rowena Marion is soon to be promoted.
JesusFreak60148 is praising God for trials, because hard times grow you in your faith (James1:2-3).
Kawaii_Senpai and her husband just purchased their FIRST HOME!

That's all for now! I look forward to getting your feedback (but in the feedback thread, not here, please).
