Pets In The Afterlife ...

Hello, Everyone!

I started this group while going through a rather difficult time in my life, and as a result, I have been unable to monitor things as I should have over the last couple of weeks. My deepest apologies. Things have settled down here now for the time being, so I am now taking the opportunity to UPDATE the group, starting with this NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS section. This is where ALL updates/ethics/rules and other various announcements will be posted, so PLEASE check it when you visit! That said ... on to the News and Annoucements! LOL!

WELCOME NEW MEMBERS!

We have SEVERAL new members since I was last here, and I could not be happier! It is SO WONDERFUL to see our little community growing! I would like to extend a VERY WARM WELCOME to ALL of you, THANK YOU for joining us! Please feel free to start your own discussions and invite your friends to join us here as well! We're looking forward to getting to know you!

COMMENTS FEATURE HAS BEEN DISABLED!

I know that finding the "START A DISCUSSION" link can be a little difficult in these groups, and as a result, many people simply use the comment feature. This is obviously the case here as well, as I came back to MANY comments that were simply ongoing discussions between members. Nobody did anything wrong! This was an error on MY part. I should've disabled it from the beggining, and I'm sorry that I overlooked it. This makes things just too hard to follow, and makes for too many ongoing off topic discussions, which eventually lead to arguments, and therefore, I have DISABLED the COMMENTS feature. Therefore, from now on, if you wish to participate, PLEASE, either add to an ongoing discussion, or start one of your own so that EVERYONE can follow along. Just look at the bottom of the discussions listing for a little green plus sign!

RULES AND ETHICS! PLEASE READ!

I'm going to keep this really brief, and so long as there are no problems, it will stay that way. If I have to though, I will add to it as needed.

1.) Please stay ON topic!

2.) If you disagree with someone's opinion or beliefs, do so with RESPECT! Consider the other person's feelings and those of the other participants BEFORE you post about it!

3.) NO FLAMMING OR CHARACTER BASHING! If you have a problem with someone, EMAIL ME and I will do what I can to help you resolve the issue.

Please do remember that this group is centered on a very sensitive subject! I created this group so that we would all have the opportunity to share our thoughts and opinions and in the process, learn from eachother and offer support to one another. Healthy debate is fine here, if it's done with tact and compassion, but PLEASE, keep an OPEN MIND! Nothing is written in stone, and if you are open to other people's beliefs and opinions, you just might benefit from something they have to say. PLAY NICE!

INVITATION RESENDS!

IF you are already a member but you continue to receive invitations, please simply disregard it. I use the RESEND INVITATIONS feature to send to all my friends, and that is why you may get duplicates.
THANK YOU!
