Where does this individual launch/attend meetings?

Regarding flying rockets or using usenet? One has little to do with the other.
You didn't mention your denomination. While I find it commendable to monitor and investigate a potential activity of your students, the manner you have gone about it is slightly suspect. No one here knows if you're Jim Jones or Billy Graham. Anyone can say they are a Reverend.
I know many true Christian rocketeers, from a number of churches / denominations. Most recently, last Saturday our local club had a Royal Rangers group come out to fly and they had a great time as did the other club members there flying with them.
Please correct me if I'm wrong but if I'm reading your post correctly, you have generally decided rocketry is not a good thing and may possibly corrupt your students. That's fine but if all you have to go by is what you've read on rmr, you have a very finite sampling to use as your guide and come across as being judgemental. As a pastor you should know the difference between discernment and judgement. Do you hold the same opinion concerning all sports activities and secular occupations? After all, there are many negative role models in sports.
I'll accept you at your word but from one Christian to another, you might want to remove that mote.

This should be in the FAQ.

Your admitted inexperience with Usenet explains this perspective. If this is your first venture into the "wild wild west" of the Internet, then you have never received threats of physical violence (or worse), had anyone make vague references about "bad things" happening to people, etc. etc.. I, and many others, have. The really sad part is that this particular group is quite tame in comparison to many others.

That was what is known as an inside joke.

I get the distinct impression your mind was made long before you came to RMR, but I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors. Attend a local launch, introduce yourself, ask some questions and then observe if you really want a proper perspective.

Just think about this a moment. This guy rudely jumps onto RMR asking personal questions then says we're all Devil Worshippers and not acceptable for his little congregation to associate with because we exercise proper judgment in a very public forum.
I say "Hit the Road Jack and Don't Come Back", I know I don't need to be judged by the likes of him nor do I want my kids associated with his organization. He obviously lives in a glass house and doesn't just throw rocks he uses a catapult.
This guy is worse then some media idiot looking for problems when there aren't any and decides to make some up to have an article to write.

IMHO this forum isn't the best place to learn about rocketry, and is especially not very "family oriented" -- i.e., I wouldn't recommend this forum for minors. This is not a moderated forum, meaning anyone can post anything here.
There's another, moderated, forum which you may prefer: www.rocketryforum.com

Interesting.
You should launch them still. Great fun, you know.

Did I imply or state there was issue with your "rocketeer status" in regards to queries posed upon others?

Was not aware that Kevin was the arbiter of propriety on RMR. Be that as it may...
(Hi Kevin ;-)
  Quoted Text Here  
Simple uncertainty and suspicion would preclude many from answering such queries. You might be a fed, an agent provocateur, or even an evil terrorist. Perhaps a revenge minded former rocketeer intent upon bloody vengeance for some past (real or perceived) slight. Or maybe even just a pervo looking to "cop a feel". Who knows?

Then Jerry is his man. To bad Jerry didn't answer.
I find it odd that he would ask where we are yet seems to be unwilling to say where he is. Also, he hasn't said what his name is. Maybe it's little Iz.

If it's a reasonable for you to ask where people launch and attend meetings, then it is also reasonable for others to ask you the same question. I see you have answered that now, thanks!
The question I have is the one you have not answered.(at least in the posts I've seen) Why does a person, (you) who claims to not be involved in the hobby, care where others launch at? I think that's a reasonable question for you to answer, yes?
BTW: Just for the record, I launch with the same club that Trojanowski does.

Does he owe you money or something? Did his great-great grandpappy insult your great-great grandpappy...and you are just wanting to settle some century-old feud?
:o)
Your asking such a question, in the setting of this group...is *very* creepy.

I personally agree with you, Greg. While it lies in my professional nature to be suspicious of the agenda of an unknown individual desiring information of such a nature, I also find such interrogative behavior unsettling...probably more so if I were one of those he was inquiring about.

Well...to be fair, the reason for his "inquisitive" was finally revealed. If the person had simply, at first, stated: "Hi, I am Mr. MyName; and I represent MyGroup; and we are interested in entering the hobby, and perhaps getting to know a few of your members, and learning from you..." then I think he would have been given a better response.

Ehhh? I copied and pasted the original request for info from jimhod, then changed the names.
Unless perhaps you forgot a smiley?
Or you are giving me tit-for-tat?
