With all due respect, I left a church group two years ago because of RULES about what I do in my private life while with them. I suggest you change this to A Guide.

its more of a guide but then again the law is a set of rules and thanks to the law there arent so many burglaries and vandals and other such goings on, therefore it is nice to have a set of rules, bearing mind however i did write them when I was incharge of another forum in which we did have a rather daft user who would have caused a whole group to go to jail knowing them! So yes they are rather on the strict side.

[Bramleyman]

Thank you for the explanation.
