You might want to consider (or to reconsider) visiting or joining the
two other Universal Life Church groups at yahoo which are well
moderated
and have been around for years without any spamming disruptions.
Of course, you might also find difficulties there of a different
nature, difficulties around more spiritual and social-political
dilemmas:
the dialogue and discussion there really does bring us in touch with
Rev. Kirby's initial teaching to "do that which is right", leaving its
interpretation up to each one of us. At those Universal Life Church
groups we often experience the natural frustration and confusion which
goes along with that existential and moral dilemma ...along with the
excitement of new ideas and beliefs!
Examples of recent articles there with interesting themes to explore:
On the Psychedelic Path to the Divine:
Albert Hofmann, "...a joy for the universe"
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Universal_Life_Church/message/2166
On the alleged relationship between pornography and sexual violence:
Darklady -- on Playboy Radio’s Night Calls
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Universal_Life_Church/message/2163
and
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Universal_Life_Church/message/2164
The core of every major religion, faith and path in the world contains
spiritual truth which we embrace. The two email groups I mentioned
often
provide venue for expression of voices within the spiritual community
which are not easily tolerated elsewhere. The material in their pages
is
certainly guaranteed to challenge, upset, inspire, and rejuvenate some
of us from time to time.

Please consider visiting, searching through the Archives of past

See you there!
