I have been away and just now catching up on the activity of this group...Thank you WW for your wisdom and understanding...when there is turmoil over spiritual discussions I am reminded of the man who sat on the roof of his house during the flood and cried that God would save him. When a boat came by he waved them away saying "God will save me", when a helicopter came by he waved them away saying, "God will save me". This happened several times and then he drowned. When he saw God he cried, "why didn't you save me?" God said, "I sent you boats and helicopters."
I am sorry that anyone felt they had to leave a group because of a posting by one member, but thank you WiseWolf for upholding the integrity of the group by allowing each of us to think for ourselves.

I wouldn't have it any other way, Kansasgail. And I think I can safely speak for ASRAI and Agapejeff to that fact as well!

We all have our beliefs/opinions whether it be on this site or anywhere else. We can either accept another's belief or choose not to. It is our right.
This group is and should be open to all beliefs. Peace.
I am always sorry when someone decides to leave, but part of our name is adult~ I rarely get upset at posts, for I try and respect all, who post/ and reply. I might not believe their ideals, but I find them interesting, and will not reply, or just move on~I enjoy studying people.
I find the power to love all, my guiding light, I may not like some actions, but if ignored usually these situations run their course.
We have a bunch of amazing souls here, and we usually move on~But I must tell you all we are all connected, and my prayer is to coexist in love~ (((As always hugs)))Namaste~

WW, you were right in standing up for Crying Earth and it seems all the other replies agreed with you.
As Asrai said, we are supposed to be adults here and this is the best spiritual group I have found. Not because everyone thinks alike, but because we can present our beliefs in an open forum without acrimony.
I know that is how I learn to test my beliefs - if they can stand up to the challenge of other ideas. And what do you know - every now and then I find that my belief needed some tweaking and more than once needed to be discarded because it could not stand up to the light of someone else's truth.
Namaste.
