Rules:



1) This is not an official list of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. However, we try to keep this list in harmony with its teachings. The material posted represents the experiences and opinions of the individuals authors. However, it is expected that posts will be in harmony with the teachings of the church. The teachings of scripture and the General Authorities of the Church are a foundation and take precedence over the philosophies of men.

2) Healthy discussion is encouraged and honest differences of opinion can and will exist. However, the spirit cannot be present in an environment of contention. Participants are expected to be courteous and respectful of the opinions of others.

3) Postings must substantially address aspects related to the Church in Eurasia. Off-topic postings will be rejected. The rejection of a post does not mean that it is not valuable or appropriate for other lists, but that it may not be appropriate for this list.

4) Posts should be rational and facts-oriented rather than emotion-driven.

5) Postings should not be addressed to individuals. If you have private remarks to make to an individual, please do it off the list. We strive for quality content without the social chit-chat.

6) If you don't have adequate information, please reserve judgment rather than jumping to conclusions. It is expected that participants will thoroughly read posts to which they wish to respond in an open-minded fashion. If you do not understand another person's viewpoint, please ask for clarifications rather than making unwarranted assumptions.

7) Material from this list may not be forwarded or re-posted to other lists.
