Subject: The Voice Chat Room

To the Gentleman of the Christian Gypsy Voice:

Hello from a lost brother in the Lord. My name is Mike Andro (aka. MikeA1, MikeAndro & Alabama) Although I no longer fellowship in the chat room I have been monitoring the progress from a distance for the past year and the direction the room has taken is not the way it was intended to go. It was intended to be a place of Fellowship and Open Worship, to share with one other, to be able to come in and just listen, to come in and bless someone and be blessed. But it has become a Church. A church of a selected few that has to follow rules and regulations, rules and regulations that were frowned upon in the beginning when the room first opened.

In the beginning the Lord led a few men, including myself to start �The Christian Gypsy Voice� chat room. A place were ANYONE can come in and have a VOICE, not just some but ALL. A place were anyone can come in and not be judged by what church they attended or what was there Pastors Doctrine, A place were you can and ask a question about Christ or Salvation and not have to worry that his or her identity have to be reveled to ask a question, A place were when a person entered the Chat Room her or she was only asked �CON SON?� And if he or she did not want to say who they were, the �NICKNAME� was good enough. But if the nickname was rude or questionable they were asked to change it and if they refused and caused any trouble they asked to leave and as the last resort they were booted out of the room but ONLY as the last resort.

Now, what did I mean about �A Church� I believe that in the past year that I have not been apart of The Christian Gypsy Voice there has been some Rules that needed to be in place due to the growth and popularity of the room, so I can not say that all the rules are bad or unjustified. But I do believe that some are not working. I know what you are thinking or saying right about now, �How can he say that because he has not even been in the room for over a year now� But all I need to say is this, If the Christian Gypsy Voice Room was going in the direction it was intended to go there would not be any need for �OTHER� gypsy chat rooms. If it were going in the right direction then the room would not have SPLIT. A Split like it dose in a real church. And that is one of the reasons why it did split. The Christian Gypsy Voice became a �CHURCH� and The Christian Gypsy Voice was Never and I mean NEVER intended to become a church or to replace the church and that was one of the only few rules that were in place when I was active in the Growth of The Christian Gypsy Voice but, that is what happened. The Christian Gypsy Voice became a church, an Internet Church, an Internet Church with positions and jobs, an Internet Church with all the problems of a real church. An Internet Church that SPLIT. That�s why I can say �a Church�
I know that I am not one to speak because of the business I choose to be in but I can not stand to be quite any longer The Christian Gypsy Voice is still a part of my life that can never be taken away from me. I have hope in Christ that one day my Family & I can be restored into the fellowship of God, Christ & the Holy Spirit
The Christian Gypsy Voice was and hope will become one day soon again a tool to bring Unity to all Christians all over the world and not to cause deviation. But, this ministry is in the hands of man and only man is the one that can cause Unity or Deviation. YOUR CHOOSE
