Respected Prof.

I have read your comments and agree and disagree with what you have to say. I have been reading those posts you are refering to long time back when I joined them but now I do not read them. When I know what those posts refer to and If I am interested in them I do read them, if not then I avoid it. It is so simple. Why to complain. After all it is not anything Vulgar or Porn posted here for that has to be deleted immediately.

I am a member of Silva India Meditation Group which course I did in meditation. The soul purpose of the group was to heal others. Requests were posted there often about the person and others healed that person, there were other request to get the wealth lost or do betterin exams or get a promotion or a job in a reputed company. so on and so forth. Then people started posting all about interesting posts which you will find even in the General Discussion. Then the moderator did issue a warning and for some time it subsided but again resumed with full force. Now a person well known for boasting his prowess posted such spam posts which are forwarded to others as per instructions and claimed silly things. When he was warned he said you don't read it if you do not like it. The wonderful part is after every 6/7 such posts of this person there is someone always there to praise him.

Now this person has posted of all the things, proposal for marrying his relatives daughter with her details and the type of boy wanted. Can you imagine? What has a meditation group to do with marriage proposal to be posted. I do not read it although my reaction to that post was just like your reaction to post on Religion. If we do not like it we leave it. You have protested and your views are known and I won't add to it. Just leave those posts and read others and do post yourself too as I like to read your posts rather than those on religion.

With regards.

Pravin Kumar

So pull the "spiritual" part OUT of the occult and magick section, and make it its own forum. Then you can add sub-forums with various religions in it. That way, people wanting to talk about Christian things would have a place to go. People wanting to discuss Wicca, and not just "pagan" things in general, would have a place go, etc. I am Wiccan, and I have nothing against other pagans and their beliefs, but some of their beliefs just don't fit in to my particular belief system. It would be much easier, and more rewarding, for me to go to a section with like-minded individuals. If I choose to discuss other religions, however, I would know right where to go for questions or discussions regarding other views and faiths.

I hope the Spiritual is left in.
I would hate to see these forums turned into a place for all the religions and their derivations to be listed.
I think it would be far too confusing.
I respect that you are Wiccan, some of my best friends are. I just think on these forums it isnt necessary.
I love the Spirituality that is shared, the various times people share about their beliefs and the respect shown for all the beliefs represented here.

I thought spiritualism is what breathed life into religion and brought it down from the Heavens to live and heal on the Earth!

But what do I know, eh sister?

Hey Prof!

Your graphic skills sure have improved since I ran into you last :-) But you still remain as lovable despite your now 3D 'moves'!

Best...

[quote="Prof. Akers"]Mystikal Miss you have my point, I'm not against anyone expressing their views what I am against is these reams of religious rubbish that clog up an otherwise entertaining board.
I was on another board the other day - nothing to with matters spiritual and this buch of people kept coming saying stuff like, 'I believe in God the Father and Jesus is my saviour.'
It had nothing whatsoever to do with the ideas under discussion and the same thing happens here;someone comes on makes a statement and then gets all huffy and fluffy when you question why they are here.
If you don't want to get into a discussion keep your mouth shut, I don't mind discussing this - or most other things and if you have a view - feel free to express it but don't dress it up as 'The word of this god or that god and it must not be questioned - because he says so.'
I'm not American but I feel I have a right to a view on George Bush, I'm not fighting in Iraq (I'm too old) but I have views on the rightness of the conflict.
When dattaswami is allowed to put reams of stuff about what this guy said or that guy promised and no-one says anything then he'll continue and I think it's wrong.[/quote]
