That's the part that makes me just delete anything that's forwarded to me without even reading it. Although one that I read on Loverly's request was hilarious... "If you forward this to ten people, you will have made ten people laugh. If you don't... you didn't make ten people laugh."

Thanks for replying mvic.
Copying and pasting the content (without the bit about passing it on to receive a blessing) is not going to do any harm but whether it does any good will depend very much on it's content.
I'm not so sure... They can often give warm fuzzy feelings, but do they really do any good? I've never seen it.quote:
Wishy-washy 'feel good' stories are not going to convert anyone - only hearing the pure Word of God does this. So if there is a Biblical message - I would say - Hit the SEND button...... 
I've told my family not to send those things to me. It's even gotten to the point that if I read "FW" or "FWD" in the subject line, I just delete it. Why? Because I've gotten tired of emails trying to make me feel bad about not passing them on. "If you're ashamed of Him, He'll be ashamed of you." I'm sorry, but not passing on an email does not constitute being ashamed. It does constitute a desire to NOT fill your friends' inbox up with mindless drivel.
And if someone wants to send me an email, feel free. But make it YOUR thoughts. That's what I want to read.
I don't want to give any misconstrued ideas here. I am not in favour of chain letters which promote 'fear' and 'intimidation' and I'm certainly not afraid of them. What I was intending to say in my post is that if there is sound Biblical content contained in such (and not merely 'wishy-washy stories') then hit the SEND button minus the superstition part that is (delete that part).

OK ... let's focus everyone!
Are we talking about the same thing?
Some of the devotionals I get from CrossDaily (and others) are really very good. I'm sure they won't be happy to have their work described as "silly", "superstitions" and "mindless drivel".
I know what you mean MVIC, not chain letters but devotionals w/ Bible verses. I get mine from KLOVE and if one really speaks to me I will print it and tape it up or take it to someone who may be blessed by it.
As for chain letters/psuedo/wannabe Christian emails, I have a Believing friend who gets emails constantly from an acquaintence who lives with her 'life partner'. The emails detail how to have a 'more Godly life' and how to be blessed. My friend becomes a bit irritated given the source/content of the emails but also feels very sad that this acquaintence is so misled.
