## Speech and Conduct

What is MeekSpaceNG’s Code of Conduct? The same behavior expected of you in the congregation at the Kingdom Hall is expected here in our online community. Our forum is operated by and for true Christians. This is a site for real Jehovah's Witnesses to engage in peaceful and upbuilding discussion. Therefore, your goal in contributing to a topic should be to share something of interest that will build up your brothers and sisters. We seek to maintain an up-building, entertaining, safe, open, and intellectually stimulating environment, where mature Christians can exercise their God-given "freeness of speech." (2 Corinthians 3:12).

## Few Principles

Few principles.
Matters of Conscience

If there are no clear indications on a subject in the Bible or in the publications of Jehovah's Witnesses, then we are obligated to show respectfulness towards the conscience decisions of others, both of those that are stricter than ours and those that are less strict. (Romans 14:3) Do not make rules where none exist.

## Handling Disputes

It can be very productive to discuss areas of disagreement, as long as this is done in a "spirit of mildness," avoiding mockery or belittlement. (Galatians 6:1) Keep in mind that this is a forum for discussion, and not a place for heated debate. Express yourself with love, and do not "pour fuel on the fire", as it were. While expressing disagreement, your goal should be to keep the conversation calm and cool, so "before the quarrel breaks out, take your leave.” (Proverbs 17:14) If you are seriously concerned about someone's motives in posting, please contact a moderator or administrator privately, and do not assault another user publicly within the topic.

## Avoiding Offense

We all want to try to apply the counsel, "Do not be quick to take offense." (Ecclesiastes 7:9) However, it will be easier to do that if we watch for each other's areas of sensitivity, and avoid them. (Romans 14:15).

## Acceptable Language

Jehovah's Witnesses on the web come from diverse social, cultural, and geographic backgrounds, which means that they will have different standards of acceptable language. Please endeavor to be sensitive to these differences, both in your own choice of word and in how you react to those of others. If you are seriously concerned about language that you feel is inappropriate, please contact a moderator or administrator privately. Do not engage the other user publicly within the topic.

## Freedom of Expressions

The above principles definitely do not mean that matters of conscience and speculative questions cannot be discussed. The Watchtower of May 1, 2000 gives the following balanced perspective: "It is normal to discuss Bible accounts or wonder about aspects of the promised New World that have not as yet been revealed. And there is nothing wrong with exchanging ideas on personal matters, such as dress and grooming or choice of entertainment. However, if we become dogmatic about our ideas and take offense when others do not agree with us, the congregation may end up becoming divided over minor issues." (w00 5/1 11,14 Firmly Uphold Godly Teaching - [we recommend reading this whole subheading]).

## Personal Disputes

The scriptures urge us to settle personal problems in private. (Matthew 18:15) Personal or private details of ongoing situations, whether those of your own or those of others, should not be shared on the board. This is true even if the problem is with someone who is not a member of the forums. When dealing with past situations, discretion and good judgment are still needed.

## Cooperation

The Administrators and Moderators are responsible to what occurs on the forums; we therefore plead, please give them the opportunity. (1 Corinthians 16:14)

## Commenting and Moderation

MeekSpaceNG has a thriving user community. We are dedicated to maintaining a respectful, engaging and informative conversation. Towards that end, we have basic ground rules for commenting to maintain a civil atmosphere. These are supported by a team of staff moderators.
If you wish to participate in the community, we ask that you follow the ground rules below and the spirit of the community they seek to promote.

## Apostasy Not Permitted

We will not tolerate anything against Biblical standards, including apostasy and unclean or obscene speech. (Eph 5:3,4; 2 Tim 2:16-18) Links to apostate sites (anti-witness sites) will get you banned, as will hateful speech and obscene language.
The following guidelines should help demonstrate the quality of the content we expect from you, as well as the moderation efforts that take place on MeekSpaceNG Forums.

## No Spamming

Do not excessively communicate the same phrase, similar phrases, or pure gibberish, or make non-constructive posts. If a comment is solely promotional in nature, we will remove it from the site.

## No Strolling

This would include creating threads or off-topic comments that cause unrest or disturbances in forum threads. This community does not tolerate direct or indirect attacks, nor does it tolerate intentional attempts to derail, hijack, troll or bait others into an emotional response.
We reserve the right to remove these types of comments if warranted. Individuals who consistently or intentionally post these types of comments may lose their ability to comment permanently.

## Limited Access and Moderation

To maintain a clean and civil community, we reserve the right to have our moderation team read comments before they are displayed on the site. Review time can vary depending on the availability of our moderators, who are all volunteers, as well as the current queue, so please be patient. Please, do not resubmit the same comment or complain to the moderators assuming it has been deleted.
If we refuse to publish your comments, we will send you a private message explaining why. If we publish your comments, we reserve the right to edit them as necessary.

## An Online Spiritual Paradise

We strongly believe that MeekSpaceNG Forums should be a safe space for brothers and sisters from all around the globe to express their ideas. As such, purposefully insulting and hostile language or personal threats are not welcome here.
If you directly or indirectly threaten the physical or mental well-being of a member of this community, you may be removed immediately.
If a credible threat is made against another member, publicly or privately, not only may it be removed but we reserve the right to report the matter to your congregation elders and/or law enforcement agencies.

## Personal Identifiable Information

For the privacy and protection of all members, we insist that you do not post publicly identifiable information, such as your email address, phone number, street address, etc, on any content that is visible to the public or even the community at large. Any comments that contain this information may be deleted. Your email address is kept private and we encourage communication using the forum and the private messaging system only. If you give out your contact information for other services, you are doing so at your own risk.

## Forum Files Uploads

All streams shown are available elsewhere on the internet-space. We merely 'hot-linked' from these sources via 'embeded' coding provided as a feature of these sites.
We are not responsible for the production of any of this materials and equally not responsible for any damages or infringements caused.

## Media Files

MeekSpaceNG do not host any audio or video contents but merely source for, scoop for and stream directly from the host contents or their subsidiaries. MeekSpaceNG merely provide users with links to materials from hosting channels and hence we do not take any responsibility for those streamed channels and their contents.

## Videos and Audio

This site is meant to assist users at easily finding access to media contents through the LINKS we provided over the internet. All video streaming on this site are found elsewhere on the internet. As a matter of policy, MeekSpaceNG do not host any audio or video contents but merely source for, scoop for and stream directly from the host contents or their subsidiaries.

We are not responsible for the production of any of this materials and equally not responsible for any damages or infringements caused.
In as much as we do not host or upload any video or media files on our site; many of the coded files here are a product of, hosted and broadcasted on youtube.com, vimeo.com, jw.org, etc. among others. If there is/are issue(s) with any/all of this media file(s), please contact the appropriate media file owners and/hosters.
Materials for Meetings Preparation
The November 1999 Our Kingdom Ministry states "Using another person’s research for a talk or [as a substitute for] meeting preparation really defeats the purpose of personal study." Posts on spiritual matters should therefore contain the results of your own personal meditation, first-hand accounts of what you heard at meetings, and brief quotes from the publications of Jehovah's Witnesses, along with appropriate references.
If you want to share a meeting part that you worked hard on, please do not post transcripts or audio recordings of your assignment prior to their being delivered in congregations all over the world.

## Audio Recordings of Talks

We do not host or upload any video or media files on our site; many of the coded files here are a product of, hosted and broadcasted on youtube.com, vimeo.com, jw.org, etc. among others. If there is/are issue(s) with any/all of this media file(s), please contact the appropriate media file owners and/hosters.

## Transcripts

The Question Box in the April 2010 Our Kingdom Ministry discourages the circulation of recorded talks and transcripts. Remember that MeekSpaceNG is about news updates [linkages] and discussion, and not for trading recordings of talks and TRANSCRIPTS. With that said, although we will not prohibit a user from occasionally sharing a recorded talk, however, we will not permit a user to make a habitual practice of this. Uploading of a Circuit Assembly or Regional Convention program is strictly prohibited in accordance with the announcements we receive at each of these events (km 4/10 3).
Unverified Experiences and Sensational Stories
The October 1999 Our Kingdom Ministry says: “What if the experience you pass on is not accurate? Would this not be sharing in perpetuating an untruth?” - (Proverbs 12:19; 21:28; 30:8; Colossians 3:9).
Be mindful of sensational stories or experiences that you cannot verify. This becomes a problem from time to time. It’s a chore for moderators to read extremely long ones, and likely someone will point out what they feel is ridiculously sensational and unrealistic and publicly state why they find it too difficult to believe some facet of this incredulous story. It's important to protect the gullible for believing everything he or she reads.
If the story or experience is legitimate or truly encouraging yet not overly far-fetched, we’ll probably let it go. Just remember that spamming us with such tall tales, email forwards, or similar content circulating social networks is not the purpose of our community.
Generally speaking, links to experiences about our brothers should not be posted unless they are first-hand accounts and we personally know the writer or we can testify to the veracity of the account/writer.

## Ads and Posting Secondary Links

Before linking to any page, please make sure that it does not have ads for pornography, comments by apostates or opposers, or prominent ads/links to apostate or other inappropriate sites.
We would not want to be responsible for exposing our brothers to temptation or facilitate the efforts of those who want to draw our brothers away. (Matthew 18:6)

## Ownership

Caution must be taken to respect the copyrights of others. All sites, whether public, commercial, social, personal or private--contain elements that are protected under copyright laws, whether they are original works, fixed works, works made for hire, commissioned works, or works that have been assigned.
We reserve the right to edit or remove any post, image or other media that, in our opinion, constitutes a violation of the copyrights of any other individual or enterprise.

## Fair Use

You agree to become familiar with typical "Fair Use" laws and to use good judgment when submitting content to the MeekSpaceNG community.
It is usually both reasonable and acceptable to include a quotation from an article or other literary work, or to reference a single image or photograph, in order to start a topic or that is pertinent or necessary to further a current discussion in the community.
However, do not post entire articles or large portions from other publications or upload them as attachments to the forums or our Files Library. Likewise, do not upload content containing multiple image attachments that you do not have copyright ownership or rights to.

## DCMA Takedown

It is our policy to respond to all notices of alleged copyright infringement. If you would like to bring a copyright issue to our attention, please use the Contact Us form or send us an email at meekspaceng@gmail.com.

## Miscellaneous

By the second week of the midweek meeting the service.

## Association on Internet

Remember, while every effort is made to ensure that only active publishers in association with Jehovah's people are granted membership here at MeekSpaceNG, there is no real way to verify the identity and congregational status of each registered account members. The faithful slave cautions against associating with people whom you do not know over the internet, even when they claim to be your fellow brothers and sisters. Those cautionary statements are valid and apply to the MeekSpaceNG as well (km 11/99 pp. 3-6).
Do not use this forums or your status updates to sound off on what you think the organization should do differently. It is discouraging, and not up to you to do anyway. Do not bring issues or posts to the community concerning things that you ought to be speaking to your elders about first.
Since all members of this community are supposed to be active publishers of the Good News and counted as Jehovah’s Witnesses in our monthly and annual reports, you must NOT count the time you spend participating on this forum in your monthly field service reports. We understand that most people are shy by nature. If you comment here at MeekSpaceNG, please be making an honest, sincere, prayerful effort to comment at your congregation meetings as well.

## Conclusion

In all instances, we retain the right to trim, edit or remove content that violate the policies above. We reserve the right to update these Forum Membership Policies and Terms of Service at any time, and it is your responsibility to check periodically for changes. When changes are made, a post will be created in the Announcements forum. Failure to comply with the above membership policy may cause your account to be "Banned" - at the moderator’s discretion. Here are a few guidelines that all our registered members must agree to observe... MeekSpaceNG (2021).

## Spiritual Quotes

"I wanted to reassure you that I am a Jehovah's Witness and one with a good standing." That is what a deceptive apostate would likely say too; isn't it? So I guess the best thing to do would be to let our Bible train consciences be active (Question From Readers about websites in the April 2018 Study Watchtower).
Proverbs 20:11 - 11Even a child\* is known by his actions, Whether his behavior is pure and right.+
Matthew 7:16-18 - 16By their fruits you will recognize them. Never do people gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles, do they?+ 17 Likewise, every good tree produces fine fruit, but every rotten tree produces worthless fruit.+ 18A good tree cannot bear worthless fruit, nor can a rotten tree produce fine fruit.+
Matthew 12:33 - 33“Either you make the tree fine and its fruit fine or make the tree rotten and its fruit rotten, for by its fruit the tree is known.+
Luke 6:43-45 - 43“For no fine tree produces rotten fruit, and no rotten tree produces fine fruit.+ 44 For each tree is known by its own fruit.+ For example, people do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they cut grapes off a thornbush. 45A good man brings good out of the good treasure of his heart, but a wicked man brings what is wicked out of his wicked treasure; for out of the heart’s abundance his mouth speaks.+
w77 12/1 p. 712 ¶ 2 If our counsel to others is based simply on our own conscience or opinion, we are bound to mislead them. Even if we try to counsel altogether according to the Bible, we must be sure that we have the right understanding, not mere conjecture or a privately held view. When a person accepts counsel based just on another’s conscience or opinion and puts it into effect, it is of little benefit to him. It may even cause much damage. Why? Because he is not acting at the direction of his own conscience. For, “indeed, everything that is not out of faith is sin.”—Rom. 14:23.
w78 3/15 p. 21 ¶ 15 What a person does should be something that in no way makes his conscience uncomfortable. If his conscience is bothered, he is self-condemned.
w72 9/15 p. 564 ¶ 11 Even if the conscience of a person is overly restrictive, no one should presume to override that conscience or try to argue the person into going against it. As the apostle’s corresponding discussion in his letter to the Romans shows, if a person were to eat meat while having doubts as to the rightness of the act, “he is already condemned... because he does not eat out of faith.” The Christian who acts according to faith has a clean conscience; but if he acts without faith that what he is doing is proper, then his conscience is not clean, for, though feeling that the act is contrary to God’s will, he does it anyway.—Rom. 14:5, 14, 23.
Romans 14:5 5One man judges one day as above another;+ another judges one day the same as all others;+ let each one be fully convinced in his own mind.
Romans 14:14 14 I know and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself;+only where a man considers something to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
Romans 14:23 23 But if he has doubts, he is already condemned if he eats, because he does not eat based on faith. Indeed, everything that is not based on faith is sin.
