Maybe They’re Trying to Tell You Something
This morning I received an email in my inbox. Nothing unusual about that, but the email itself was interesting. It came from a Christian website that I joined to investigate why my site was getting so much traffic from them. It turns out that this website was designed to pirate Christian music and software. Anyway, I wanted to share the email with you because I found it rather amusing.
Dear _______ member,
I’m writing this announcement to inform you that in the following couple of days ______, ______ and ______ websites are going offline for an indefinite amount of time. It may be for a few hours, it may be for a few days, it may be for some months… no one can tell at this point. The reason for going offline is that our current host won’t host us anymore for reasons that I don’t agree with but I totally respect.
We’ve been through much trouble as a community all these years and if it wasn’t for God’s grace covering us, and some people’s dedication and really hard work, we would have been just a distant memory by now. Whatever your feelings are, please pray for this community as a whole, for the individual members, and for us the administrators as we all really need it at this point.
If anyone has any hosting solutions, suggestions, or connections, please let us know.
The only official way to contact us for the time being is by e-mail on _________
"May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all" – 2 Corinthians 13:14
Thank you all for your continuous support,
_________
Seriously?! You would think that their webhost is trying to tell them something. Most webhosts only take your site down because of excessive bandwidth (which wasn’t their problem), pornographic material, or illegal activity. Given what the site was engaging in, it’s definitely option number three. Yet, these people continue to think that what they’re doing is legitimate and covered under the grace of God. It amuses me how people try to justify their sins, lusts & evil desires, especially when it’s under the guise of doing a work for the Lord.
It’s my hope that this site and others like it don’t come back online and that any other host keeps them off of their servers. It’s definitely my prayer that while the site is offline that the Holy Spirit will prick them and make them aware that what they’re doing is wrong and cease any attempt to move or resurrect the site.
