How cool is that!?! I'm sure you will be a great ambassador for Tribe of Judah.
HAHA thats awesome
Eh? They're writing an article on Tribe of Judah and they haven't contacted the President of the organization?
(Of course, to be fair, they probably couldn't find my phone number, seeing as I use an online pseudonym to protect myself and my wife from harassment. They could e-mail me, though. The address is tek7 AT toj DOT cc is any reporters are reading this.)

I've also noticed visits to PureFun from someone inside Washington Post. I'll be on the lookout!

AKAIK this should be forwarded to Tek since he is the TOJ Pres.
I think it is awesome that you get to do another article for them CGamer. You must have made an awesome impression the first time. You may want to pass on Tek's email info though just in case they want to contact him (or mention him at least)...looks like he feels a little left out.

I think one of the reasons I was contacted first was I was Redeemed's guild leader and chapter leader at that time when I did the first article and also the writer of the first article recommended me to this guy. I wrote this post hastily last night before i left for church, i plan on contacting him today and giving him Tek's contact info.

Our deeds should never be for our self-glorification. Too often people start good deeds with the right intentions, only to fall prey to self-glorification. A good way to counter this is to try to do our good deeds as far as possible in secret. 1 Pet 2:12 tells us how our good deeds can lead other people to glorifying God too.
Grats guys on another interview for the post. This is awesome and will serve make more people aware the Christian gaming is alive and well.

I have to admit, it's a blend of both. After leading Tribe of Judah for over seven years, I've only been called for one interview, and that was with a Boston Herald reporter a few years back. The reporter ended up either not quoting me or not writing the article on Christianity and gaming as he had originally intended.it's not left out..it's following the chain of command..
I'm certainly not doing this for my own glory (since there's very little glory in leading a Christian gaming group) and I'm definitely not doing it for the money (seeing as I've never made a penny off Tribe of Judah). All the glory goes to God; without His support, Tribe of Judah would likely not have taken off, let alone lasted seven years.
But I have to admit that I get excited about the possibility of putting the name Tribe of Judah out there, if only to tell other Christian gamers that there's a place for them.
As for the chain of command: If someone is speaking to a reporter about Tribe of Judah, I at least like to know about it. After pouring my heart and time in Tribe of Judah for so long, I would be understandably upset if one day an article popped up with a member slandering Tribe of Judah. I've never had that experience and I don't anticipate that I ever will, but I do like to know in advance when Tribe of Judah will be mentioned in an article.
And for the record, I have no issue whatsoever with CGamer sharing about his experiences with Tribe of Judah. I'm glad he took the time to speak with the Washington Post reporter that wrote the previous article. When that article was published, I printed a copy, highlighted the reference to Redeemed, and showed it to my wife with a big smile.
If I remember correctly, the previous article in which CGamer was quoted focused specifically on World of Warcraft. Though it would have been nice to get a phone call and a few questions, I understand the logic behind interviewing the current Guild Leader of a Tribe of Judah guild rather than the President of Tribe of Judah for that particular article.
And I appreciate that very much, sir. Thank you.

Thxs Deut I was gonna post the part here but when i checked the washington post website archive you had to have a subscription to get it.
On a side note I spoke with the reporter and gave him Tek's info as well. He said he would contact me over the weekend as he was currently working on 2 articles already at this point Monday 5:30pm I haven't heard anything from him.
