Hey! There has been a new GROUP created just for Christian women who are ttcaal. We welcome all and hope this can be a positive and uplifting place that Christian women feel comfortable to discuss their walk through a loss and moving forward in a safe environment. Check it out! It's a very new group so we're just getting started but there are hopes to make it into something more
Re: Christian Ladies Come In
And OP we have a weekly Bible Study check-in on this board for ladies of faith to participate in.

On a side note, it looks like you only participate in a birth month check-in and in the daily throat punch thread. That is probably why so many members looked kind of side eyes at a random post from someone (who pretty much nobody recognizes) that is trying to draw people away from the board.
It is not SPAM but it comes across as "spammy" when a stranger posts "hey, come to my new board" KWIM?

This exactly. Also, I did not tell you to comment on everyone's post. This community thrives on people giving support to others. You certainly can give a TP every day if that is how you want to use this board and never give a hug or word of encouragement to a person outside of the two threads you typically post to - all I'm saying is that I (and every other regular poster) read this post and said "who is this stranger trying to drag people away from TTCAL. Best of luck with your social group.

If you have the time to read, then you have the time to respond. That's how you get people to know who you are. Give support to get support, that's how this community works.
This community is a place of support and encouragement.

1. Actually if you reread what you wrote, you said, " I cannot possibly keep up with everything that goes on in this board and comment on everyone's posts." That is saying you are too busy to offer support (or in your words "lift others up")
2. That's great that you read posts on here. Our motto is "give support to get support". To truly be apart of this community and to experience the amazing support & love of these wonderful ladies, you have to give back. Support others. We don't expect you to be an "expert" to comment; if you don't know what to say, a simple " (((hugs))) I'm sorry/you're in my thoughts/etc" is a great way to support other ladies.
3. Everyone here was a newbie at some point. The only way people can get to know you is by you participating and commenting. This is the internet; if you lurk in the corner & don't talk, no one will know you are here.
4. This is a great place to find support. The ladies here are AMAZING and willing to share/support/love each other thru wherever each lady's journey takes her. That being said we are also protective of this place we call home, which if you stick around you will soon appreciate as much as I know the rest of us do.
Finally, it's not about stepping on toes. PP are just trying to explain to you why you got the reaction that you did and where you went wrong so you can LEARN moving forward.
ETA well apparently I took too long to calmly word my response and shit started going downhill in the process. that's what I get for trying to be nice and "helpful"
