                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By using the forum, you are agreeing to these rules.</p>
<p><strong>1. Be kind and helpful. </strong></p>
<p>We are here to offer helpful advice and encouragement. Assume the best and give others the benefit of the doubt.</p>
<p><strong>2. Christian Ethos</strong></p>
<p>Although anyone is welcome to post here, this is a forum with a Christian ethos. Anything contrary to the teachings of Jesus Christ will be removed.</p>
<p><strong>3. Have a Sense of Humor </strong></p>
<p>I love to laugh. Let's have fun. There are lots of little ways to do that (GIFs, emojis, etc.) in addition to what you write and share.</p>
<p><strong>4. No Politics</strong></p>
<p>None. Zip. Zero. Keine. </p>
<p><strong>5. If In Doubt</strong></p>
<p>If you aren't sure if you should post it, wait an hour and think about it. </p>
<p><strong>6. No Drama</strong></p>
<p>I have zero tolerance for drama and mean girls. I have a delete button and I'm not afraid to use it for the sake of the entire community. Don't test me and don't make me do it. </p>
<p><strong>7. Please Turn Off Your Adblocker</strong></p>
<p>Ads help pay for this community. Thank you.</p>]]></content:encoded>
