Spiritual Forums isn't the first Spiritual Forum I have belonged to....It is my fourth forum of this type.

Whenever I join a forum like this one, for the first year or two of membership, everything goes swimmingly. People share their experiences, people relate how God has touched their lives and those of others they know...there is much joy and happiness to be had in the sharing and relating...in the whole "two or more being gathered in His name" thing.

Then, one person (atheist/skeptic) joins the forum and their agenda is to plant seeds of doubt in the minds and hearts of those who believe...with a "how do you know it is God and not chemicals in your brain?" They went to the "Richard Dawkins School of Religiosity".

Then they stay, and after a month or two another joins them who may have had a bad/negative experience with a religion in the past (usually Christianity) and they cannot tell the difference between "religion" and "spirituality" so they start to demonize both equally or simply say "Spiritual people have no need to believe in any "God"...you ARE God and there is nothing greater than you believe yourself to be"....sucks for those who believe themselves to be the embodiment of abject insignificance.

Then after a few months, more of these types join up..and more...until they number about a dozen (this forum has about half that number) and those who were happy, peaceful, loving and enjoying the chat with other members and sharing experiences starts to leave because of it. In my time here, I have seen many beautiful souls move on to secular pursuits offline due to constant "gaslighting" and closeted "hostile intent" which is not overt enough to break any of the forum's rules.

Then, when more "spiritual people" leave (like I have been tossing up doing...I just don't want to see them "win" yet again) and when more "anti-spiritual" people join up and realise they have nobody left to fight because they are all in agreement with each other, they have no purpose left either and so, they start leaving too and the forum dies...yes, they have pretty much accomplished the goal they set out to do...destroy those who believe in anything.

The Christian folk have a name for that behavior...they call it "Satanic" and all I can say is "and this is why we can't have nice things".

Oh well, "into every life a little rain must fall."

Luke 6:46-49 New International Version (NIV)
The Wise and Foolish Builders
46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? 47 As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like. 48 They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. 49 But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.”

Just that!!! I've said my piece to him! I haven't come on here to be critised/bullied/ insulted/ or worse still... A suggestion that my child was around swearing and a negative environment. Whilst ever he is free to make people feel this way it makes a mockery of the whole forum. I have been bullied enough and put down too many times to stand for it now. I am nearly old enough to be his granny! I will not stand for it and have urged anyone that feels bullied/ intimidated on here to speak to me. And dear God....I've only been on here a few days!!!!!! This is not what I expected.

Bloody Christ, I was just being sarcastic, and not even refering to you. As for your question who I think I am, well I'm a piece of misanthropic, cynical, melancholic stardust. Nice meeting you.

We've had battles before slayer you and I - you should think about what it will be like eternity in the lower astral realms and stop upsetting people. gift of life and thrown it away, that's just my opinion...

I personally think masters are respected - this is a spiritual forum and masters should respect that, they are looked up to... Somethings wrong with the way that works here - masters should be graded 1 to 5 for the good they do and some un ranked or another word for it - just my opinion on all ive read on this forum and comments made by masters, usually top quality by most masters as it should be, but not all unfortunately.
