Community Guidelines

Your Testimony works because people are honest here. These guidelines exist to protect that. They are not about policing how you write or what you believe, they are about making sure everyone can share without being hurt.

What belongs here

Personal stories of faith, told in your own words. There is no right length and no right style. Doubt, anger, unresolved endings and plain description are all welcome. Honest is enough.

Encouragement in the comments belongs here too. If a story moves you, saying so is often the most useful thing you can do.

What does not belong here

• Hate and harassment. Nothing that attacks or demeans people for who they are, and nothing aimed at hurting another person here.
• Political content. This is not the place for party politics, campaigning, elections or political argument of any kind.
• Spam and promotion. No advertising, no link dropping, no fundraising, no recruiting for anything.
• Anything illegal or anything that encourages harm, including self harm.
• Graphic detail where it is not needed. You can write about hard things, and most hard things can be told without becoming distressing to read.

Other people in your story

Most testimonies involve other people, and those people did not choose to be written about. Please share only what is yours to share, and leave out private details about others without their consent. Changing names, or describing someone without identifying them, is usually enough.

Only post stories you have the right to post. Please do not submit someone else's writing as your own.

Posting anonymously

Every story can be posted as "Anonymous", and choosing that is never treated as a lesser kind of sharing. Sometimes a story can only be told that way. Your name is never shown publicly on an anonymous story.

How we moderate

We read every story and comment before it is published. We may edit lightly for length and clarity, decline something that does not fit these guidelines, or remove it later if we need to. We will not change the meaning of what you wrote.

Accounts that repeatedly break these guidelines may be suspended. Our Terms of Service cover that in full.

If something is wrong

If you see something that breaks these guidelines, or you want your own story taken down, email kristoferstoimenov2@gmail.com and tell us what you found. We would rather hear about it than not.
