My professional writer friends refer to faithwriters as a writer scam. I've posted, but never joined. Those who did felt they were mislead.
They paid the fees after being notified via email that they had a "Private message." The emails implied that someone was interested in them specifically because of work they had posted on the faithwriter site. However, the "private messages" turned out to be more like "public" calls for submissions and appeared to have been pretty much spammed to everyone on the faithwriter site.
Most of the leads went nowhere, and almost all of the "publishing opportunities" turned out to be non-paying internet sites.
The faithwriter concept is a good one and should be supported in some way. Maybe they should ask for contributions and acquire advertisers or be less misleading in soliciting members.
Dotsie could be the poster child for never misleading or taking advantage of anyone and I would be the first to contribute to this site if that becomes feasible.
Just my take.
