lol Jonabeth... I give you credit for being polite...hahaha...
Of course you can always ask, but I think you miss the point of the initiative... #newbieresteemday is meant to help "newbies" which you clearly are not. Why would you want to send out a "power of the gospel" message in this way without offering to help out your poorer and younger steemers?
If there was only 5 loafs of bread and 50 people to feed, do you think it says to jump in front and feed yourself when others are more needy?
I'll make a deal with you because I actually like that you were nice about it and you are trying to send a good message about God. If you take just one day in the next 7 and dedicate that day to doing what we are doing here (resteeming the posts of the newbies, helping them with good advice, and teaching them good practices); then I will resteem BOTH of the post you submitted.
In other words, if you show that you will help others and support the newbies with your resteems for just a day, I will resteem not just one of your links but I will do both of them.
The reason I am making this deal is that I believe you are a "good" guy who just wasn't thinking. And we can take the "goodness" inside you and spread it to help others less fortunate than you. By doing that, I think you will see that not only was it a great deal for you, but you will also learn something else. You will find you make great connections and build loyalty from those who you have earned their respect.
Do we have a deal? I'm hoping we do, because you can be a good force after this experience! I'm on your team, you just haven't realized it yet ;)
