The weather is warming up and thoughts are turning to spring. What Spring activities <\/a> do you enjoy?
\nJoin our Spring holiday discussions
\nPassover<\/a>
\nEaster<\/a>
\nFor a spirited discussion about the environment drop by our Environmental Issues <\/a>board to join a discussion about the earth’s climate<\/a>.
\nThis week we’d like to introduce you to our Volunteer Host Moonstarwoman<\/a>. We had a few questions for her and here’s what she had to say,<\/p>\n


\nDo you have a goal as to anything that you would like to accomplish by virtue of being a Beliefnet host?<\/strong>
\nMoonstarwoman: I don’t really. I just would like to be the best Host I can be.
\nWhat prompted you to volunteer?<\/strong>
\nMoonstarwoman: At the time, Christianity Debate really needed some help with a few “difficult” posters. I had been around a while, and decided to help, rather than complain.
\nHave you met any Beliefnet members who have become a friend off-line?<\/strong>
\nMoonstarwoman: I haven’t, but there are many many people I would love to meet in person. I have formed many strong friendships over the years.
\nWhat do you most enjoy doing when you are not online?<\/strong>
\nMoonstarwoman: I enjoy my grandchildren…what else would a grandmother say? \ud83d\ude42
\nDo you have any suggestions for members who are new to the site?<\/strong>
\nMoonstarwoman: Sure. Don’t come on the site with guns blazing and attitude. Slow down and don’t look to “stir the pot”… and always … always be respectful.
\nWhat do you think is the dumbest question you yourself have ever asked on a message board, here or elsewhere?<\/strong>
\nMoonstarwoman: I think one of my first posts was “Hello? Anyone here?”
\nWho is your role model?<\/strong>
\nMy late sister Arlene. She died several years ago from Ovarian Cancer. I miss her every day.
\nIf you could invite any famous person to become a regular poster on your message board, who would that person be?<\/strong>
\nMoonstarwoman: George Carlin
\nThis week we were very saddened to learn about the passing of a beloved Beliefnet member, LeeThePisky<\/a>. May he rest in peace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
