Rather new to this place and I am curious what, if anything, "Cathecumen" and other obscure titles that appear under names mean. Sectlike? [:-)]

| Posted 6/25/2003 7:52 PM (GMT -6) | | frog,
Here's the rundown:
Neophyte (1-49 posts) a recent convert to a belief; a proselyte; a beginner or novice
Abecedarian (50-99 posts) one who is just learning; a beginner
Catechumen (100-499 posts) one who is being taught the principles of Christianity; one who is being instructed in a subject at an elementary level
Zosima (500-999 posts) the famous spiritual guide in Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov who was a lover of nature and experienced man of the world who believes the Christian path is to be lived in the world
Postmillennialist (1000-1999 posts) one who holds to the doctrine that Jesus's Second Coming will follow the millennium (i.e., after the 1,000 year reign)
SUPERSTAR (2000+ posts) a widely acclaimed star, as in movies or sports, who has great popular appeal; one that is extremely popular or prominent or that is a major attraction
We haven't seen anything beyond this so I don't know if there is another class of posters. As for Official Forum Admin and Tech - Forum Admin, nobody's really sure what they're up to.

frog, the obscure titles that appear under names are not meant to be taken too seriously, and are certainly not meant to be sectlike (we’re not organized enough to be a sect even if we wanted to be one). When I suggested “Templar” as a title, people on board talked me out of it because of its sect-associations.
Welcome to our discussion.
