Hi! I host a Bible study each week on Cornychat. Itβs every Tuesday at 8 pm New York time (we just wrapped up after starting about an hour ago).
Attendance and participation had been steadily growing and thriving, but for the past several meetings, itβs been quite low. In contrast with this, many people seem to value that I do this, reposting and liking my updates I send out with #nostrbiblestudy
Would a different time or something work better for the people who like the idea of this but arenβt usually joining?
Would people prefer a Signal and/or Telegram group to chat and get reminders instead of following a Nostr hashtag or joining the SimpleX group?
Please share your ideas!

I would love a Signal group as a reminder! Had a meeting for my neighborhood association tonight, but I do want to attend a future study!
Anything but Pm for me!
Meaning only mornings / before noon?
Pacific yesβ¦ unless itβs a weekend, then Iβm usually free
That might be tricky. But Iβve always hoped to see more Bible studies at different times with different vibes or studies pop up on Nostr audio clients. Not the only one just dwindle away π

Or late at night like now! (Not late in my time zone but late for eastern)
Cornychat has been pretty slow in the evenings lately. I think it may be that it's summer and people are busier π€·ββοΈ

Forgive me for the late reply! AM PT is touch for me, depending on the day and time. Evenings are best.
Thanks for doing this ! I was limited schedule wise before , however , that changed , Iβm planning on keeping up a lot more going into the future .
Hi, what time zone is this in ?
Ignore this I just found the time you posted. I am in Australia, so time does not suit. This would be a wonderful group to be involved in, I have lots to learn . One day I may be able to join β€οΈππ»
Fully supportive but I'm unlikely to attend anything due to time zone differences sorry.
I think what youβre doing is great but the day and time is an issue for me. Be sure and note if you make changes and Iβll try to attend if able. π«
Hey! For me itβs the date and time. I really want to attend but canβt. Iβm definitely open to attending if there is a change in day. π«Άπ»
What is the focus of your studies and which bible are you reading from?
I'm not so much interested in attending just curious, I noticed there are a lot of Christians on Nostr.
That and the Christians on nostr seem much more genuine and humble, on the right path actually trying to live by Jesus teachings compared to what I am used to from both real life and social media.
Nostr, SimpleX, or Signal work for me. Weekday evenings or Sundays are probably best for me, so I will set a reminder for next Tuesday at 8pm.
My mother's mother was kidnapped from her community as a child by the government for being mixed race and given to a Catholic boarding school to be raised as a domestic servant as part of the Australian eugenics plan known as "breeding out the black"
My mother was one of those cherry pick a bit of everything from any religion because it sounded right to her types, both devout Catholic but also a little Buddhist zain pagan droid whatever else.
My father's parents were Jehovah's witnesses, my father had very traumatic experiences as a child and put a lot of the blame for why his parents could be so abusive on the JWs and religion in general.
So my father raised me anti theist while I was attending meetings with his parents and my mother would take me to every different church mosque shine temple etc. she could.
Personally I believe the universe itself is alive and we are all part of it and any further explanation would be pointless because it's literally beyond our comprehension as human beings to even imagine what God actually is.
I'm just learning how to use corny chat through alby. No change is needed for me personally, I'll try to make it. Can I see invites or somethings?
For anytime chat, I prefer SimpleX over Signal or Telegram.
What would be better day/time for you?

I find this an excellent initiative to study biblical texts. I would be delighted to join. Keep going, may God π and Bitcoin β‘ continue to guide you.
Could we do some sort of asynchronous chat study? People could hop in whenever possible and contribute. It could be in addition to the actual live chat during the week.
This sounds a bit like why we made the SimpleX chat. Sometimes it gets used, but not very frequently, which is why I was wondering if it would be more active as a signal group.
Of course, youβre free to make whatever you want! I donβt hold a patent on Nostr Bible studies π
quite the opposite, I dream that someday there will be many different ones, having nothing to do with me but everything to do with Jesus.
I didn't know there was a simplex chat, to be honest!
Thursday or Friday at 5pm est. Sorry small window. During the day on Saturday is usually good for me but horrible for everyone else Iβm sure.
I'll do better to start attending again.
Iβm not sure what works best for me. But Tuesday/Thursday is definitely out. Donβt give up though. Post what you decide and Iβll do my best to check in. I havenβt been on CornChat much lately.
He is and ever shall be
