O.K. this is really making me mad. I write articles about different bible topics. They are mostly geared to new christians to help them get a better understanding of basic doctrine, christian life, and christianity in the early church. One of my articles in on the freeminds website and I also email some to friends so that they could have it put in their church journal. I don't charge for any of this work, it is strictly volunteer and I enjoy doing it. I only ask that I get credit for writing it by having the one reproducing it leave my name on it. I may write on the bottom copywrite 2006 Lilly Cruz or something like that as a reminder that although the article is based on the bible, it is my own creation.
Anyway about three months ago, a "friend" asked me if I wrote anything about the transfiguration and I said yes I have in the past. He asked if he could have a copy of it as he is studying this topic and would like to get someone's else view. So now three months go by and another friend of mine gives me a bible journal produced by this first "friend" of ours. So I am browsing through to check out the article when one of them catches my attention. And guess what it is about? Yep, the transfiguration. Only it is my work! My words exactly, my scriptures used for support, only HIS NAME as the author. I just emailed him that he had better stop sending this out as his work when he knows it is my work. And frankly that ticks me off.
Just thought I would vent! Lilly
