Carta!

Charlene said:

may we have an update on where Logos stands with Carta?

Thanks for asking, Charlene

DAL said:

Notice the “If that changes, we’ll let everyone know...” So apparently nothing has changed

Let's not assume that nothing has changed, please, DAL.

Meanwhile, on my “A” company mobile app, I’m trying to decide which Carta title to start reading 😜

Call me a hopeless optimist but I still have positive expectations.

Nobody is saying to lose hope, but until FL updates everyone, the answer remains the same — No Carta products at this time.

The fact that there are no Carta products at this time is obvious from the catalog.

Folks like me are asking FL about progress and expecting FL to reply. It could be a matter of concern, curiosity or planning. Even if FL does not reply, your insights and prolonging the thread are not helpful.

Actually, you and those who are impatience are the ones prolonging this thread.  What part of FL’s response don’t you get? They clearly said: “There’s nothing to report at this time. IF THAT CHANGES WE’LL LET EVERYONE KNOW.  THANKS.” 

Capital Letters are for emphasis, so don’t assume someone is yelling.

So if you can’t wait and allow FL to communicate the changes when and if they become available, then someone‘s got a problem...and guess what? Is not me.

So allow FL to communicate changes when they have them and stop acting like a kid when he’s constantly asking, “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?

You get the point and you too can agree that it is annoying.  So don’t be that kid 😜 If you’re so desperate for Carta products do like many of us have done: Get it from Accordance. Trust us, you won’t regret it as the quality is far superior.

I bet if Carta makes it to Logos someday, many of you we’ll be back here complaining about the quality of the pictures. So in the end, none of you will be happy anyway.

Blessings! And I hope you get your wish 👍😁👌

The questions have come from interested users who for different reasons are asking FL about it. They are just entitled to that.

You are one individual (not FL employee) who is spamming this thread, putting down people and plugging the competition.

 The problem is that you haven’t come to grips with the fact that the question has already been answered.  Go back and read. Don’t do this to yourself! 👍😁👌 When and if they ever have something to communicate, they’ll be the first ones to let you know without you even asking. Accept this and you’ll be able to be at peace with yourself.

Peace ✌️

Your volume on this thread is directly observable. You can disagree but it is not right for you to make these snarky psychological side-swipes to me or anyone here.

From the Forum Guidelines:

"Please treat each other with the love, courtesy, respect, and kindness that you would if you were sitting in your living room together."

DAL, would you mind not trolling, please? It's not exactly courteous, kind, or respectful. Thank you!

Not hunting it down but I believe it was confirmed that Carta is not under exclusive contract to Acc, that said Carta may not want any other distributor.  I know Concordia years back made all sort of  demands when trying to negotiate with Accordance. Including saying they were happy with Logos. Now I do not know anything more there other than what was shared on the forums there by both sides (including the final polite unable to come to a deal and then never seen the Concordia exec again), but was given the impression that being happy with Logos meant they wanted much to come to a second platform. Carta may feel similar. As for things being done and settled I know that I have heard about Accordance being in talks for very long periods to get a deal done so things may not be dead. Theses deals which we would assume should be a meeting yea or nay, are not that simple. For whatever reason these negotiations seem to often move at a glacial pace. And Dal you may not be meaning to offend or not but the Pepe face has come to represent much of the worst of a certain groups on the net.  I will not assume that you necessarily hold onto any of those views which do seem to include some very unchristian ideas, but I know I was taken a back a bit to see him knowing some of the negative things it had been associated with.  

Sometimes you just have to let people tilt at windmills and just remember they may well march to drum beat you or I do not hear.

PS: please do not let my Don Quixote reference infer anything negative about your quest to get Carta published in Logos just the way some may perceive it. 

Just an observation: Funny how this thread started in November 2010 and FL’s first response came virtually 5 years later in October 2015.  Then a less optimistic response on 2017 and the other less optimistic responses earlier this year in March 2018.

5 years of silence and then essentially nothing if you really think about it.

No wonder all the desperation!

Let me see what I can do, but no promises, ok. 

I’ll post next week 👍😁👌 if they respond to my email. I may even call to see if I can get through, but don’t hold your breath!

Isn't it annoying when we are trying to be servants, and they treat us like...well, like servants.

I think it was Corrie ten Boom who was asked, "How do you know if you have a servant's heart?"  Her answer was that you will know when someone treats you like a servant.

How would you respond if you were in a restaurant, and asked a waiter a question, and the waiter's response was a snarky, "I have already answered that"?

If you don't want to answer questions, yes, sometimes the same question over and over, you do not need to be harming Logos by doing a snarky job of it.

Just my opinion.

You’re kind of late with your opinion Michael, but it’s ok. 👌 I’ll be posting soon with a fresh response or I might even be able to get a FL employe to do that 👍😁👌

It may just be a "smiley face" to you, but its general usage isn't very nice, to say the least. I believe you're a better person than what the meme represents.

My reaction to that image is the same as yours Petah.  Not positive at all.  Every time I see it pop up in this thread I cringe.

That just shows that you know too much and I don’t.  Besides any smiley face can mean anything you want it to mean because as far as that goes, the meanings are subjective. To me is just a smiley face that reminds me of the movie the mask, to you it may mean some pervert guy, so maybe you need to stop watching pervert’s stuff online.

👍😁👌

Ps. I called Bill and left a message and the week is almost over, and no news yet.  He must be very busy with Carta meetings  or perhaps his sweating bullets because he doesn’t know how to tell you guys that Carta doesn’t wanna have anything to do with Logos.  He can post when he can, I was just trying to do you guys a favor in trying to get an update from him directly.

DAL that comment was out of line. I never have and never will personally attack you or anyone else on this board.  All I said was that "smiley face" was not positive in my opinion.  

Then I truly apologize for that. But I don’t think is fair for anybody to assume I know something just because you know it. The meaning of things is subjective even for religious things. Too many people see the star of David, a Jewish object, as something bad,  but I cannot say is bad just because other people think it’s bad, the same applies to my funny smiley face. You cringe, I smile. I don’t surf the net for negative things unless I have to, And even then I have not found anything negative on this smiley face. I tried to search after people started saying it was bad, but found nothing bad.  Maybe you can provide a link So I can be up-to-date with the different meanings of different smi  faces. 👍😁👌

Ps. Family Guy is bad but there was a guy here before that had the Family Guy picture on his profile.

Has anyone tried Carta's BibleWhere?

I have not tried it but it looks amazing. It only makes me even more want to have Carta in Logos!

$13 a month online seems a bit hefty. Granted, maybe I own 18 months of Carta-related.

Bradley Grainger (Faithlife) said:

Bill is out of the office until October 5th.

Perhaps Bill is at ... Carta Jerusalem? [;)]

I haven't asked about Carta in a while, because $$$ (L8 purchase + planned L8 library expansion purchase).

Still, I'm hoping we'll hear something favorable about Carta, and eventually be able to purchase it in Logos... this year? [:D]

I believe Bill left the company (in October, I think).

DAL said:

If he left, he probably knew the wrath was coming

His leaving had nothing to do with Carta.

We were joking, Bruce 🙃 

Ignore previous post—I did not know I was only on the first page of the thread.

Is there a way to show or jump to unread posts in the forums?

Thanks,

Joseph
