  • Bnet Book Club
    Name:
    Bnet Book Club
    Status: Member
    Description: <b>What are you currently reading?</b> </br></br> This discussion group is open to all faiths, all political ideologies, all PEOPLE to discuss your favorite reads! <br /><br /> How did a book solidify your ideas, or serve to transform them? <br /><br /> One book per thread, please. If you see a thread already devoted to a book you're interested in, feel free to jump in! Don't see a book you're interested in? Start a new one! <br /><br /> Please feel free to state why an author's work either supports or detracts from your belief. Healthy discussion, courteous discourse and debate with civility in mind are more than welcome. Posts that lead to proselytizing and/or attempts to convert will be reported and repeat offenders will be discouraged. <br /><br />This does NOT mean religious works are unwelcome by any means. There is a lot of value in religious, spiritual and other forms of literature. But no soap boxes or street corner preachers, K? ;) <br /><br /> Some more food for thought..... At times we all need a little "mind candy".... Whether you call it light fiction, pulp fiction or sheer escapism, not all books we discuss here need be excluded to "heavy" lifting or require a lot of mental exercise! There's nothing wrong with interspersing more "serious" work with popular fiction. :) Our greatest, most universal truths can usually be found within the boundaries of imagination and fiction if only because said boundaries can be stretched and expanded beyond our current limits of reality.

    Description: Bnetters Against Activity Feed! is an ecumenical, cross-platform, "SINGLE ISSUE VOTER" kind of group!! The intrusive Activity Feed should either be removed altogether or an ability to OPT OUT should be provided. I like my Bnet Buds otherwise we wouldn’t be friends, but does this mean I want a “shout out” every time I rate a photo, post a comment on someone's profile, change my own profile, write a journal entry or make a new friend? NOOOOO! Let's join hands to register our dissatisfaction with this intrusion by visiting the PETITION thread! We’re not Facebook, MySpace or Linked In! We’re Beliefnet! :) As members of Bnetters Against Activity Feed! you have an opportunity to register your discontent with this alleged “enhancement” initiated by Beliefnet in June of 2008. Despite assurances from staff that they're "looking into" methods to either disable this feature or make it optional, nearly 4 months later nothing has been done. At first glance, this is a very small problem. Yet when you place these Activity feeds in the larger context of online privacy, FISA and how the accessibility of online information plays into counter-terrorism meaures, perhaps this problem isn't as small or unimportant as first meets the eye! Bnet Administration modeled the activity feed after Face Book. Are you aware that Facebook members protested against this to the point that Face Book woke up and made it optional? http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1532225,00.html
