Not for PM but just a small circle.
Is there many people you know that may be interested in Spiritualism?
You only need a few to start off.....

Just me, that I know of.

Maybe some day, we'll have something going here. . .

Starting one yourself? Any friends you have who are interested?
You never know until you look.

(you having a change of site as well? )

NAH, Joanie: lacking mediumship ability, ministerial background, money, a suitable meeting place, etc., I don't see myself as a church-planter. I'd be delighted just to meet a fellow Spiritualist in the flesh.

As for sites: I had notification of some PM's here. But SPIRITUALISM TODAY is THE site for the subject.

Every site has it's ups and downs,Jim.
Some flourish and some don't.
Three are flourishing,this one,another one and our's!

I spent 2 years in a cult, very strict, judgement and condemnation for anyone who doesn't agree with their idiologies..

After I left I joined an evangellical christian church, it had more life in it, much more spirit but still found it quite robotic, I was searching but couldn't get passed the fact the teachings were all plagiarised from older stories.dieties such as mithras / osiris etc..

I think church is good for some, gives them a sense of belong and I get that

But then I started "getting it" and came to realise that Christ was a man connected to spirit not some god.. he went round teaching others how to connect with spirit and instead people are riding him rather than his message!

There's so many scriptures that sing a completely different tune to me now.. Added to other texts and ways of life such as eastern religion and shamanism which I now practice, everything really starts falling together and making sense.

I think religion restricts people from finding their true nature and divine self / their role in this higher consciousness.. At the same time it's a nice comfort for some so I'm not going to condemn religion but it's not for me!

I see your point,Freespirit.

My interests now are fully with Spiritualism.
I see a different point of view with religion as I used to do.
I see a more balanced and believable 'religion' (if we wish to call it that).

Jesus was a medium whether the son of God or not.

If folks want to believe he was the son of God,then that is their belief.

I stick to the fact not fiction of a life after death.
