How to Use Our Community Forums

All  forums are public and visible to everybody. No registration is required to read the postings.

All postings are moderated. Every time a new posting is made in one of our forums, we receive an email. We both read all postings and approve all of them, unless they are offensive or completely beside the point and irrelevant to the looking.

We encourage you to join the conversation and make your own postings.  In order to be able to make postings, you will need to register. Don't worry, it's simple and easy to register.

All of our meetings and events are always free of charge. All are welcome, with no regard for religious and spiritual beliefs and practices or any other thing.

Although our events are free of charge, they are certainly not free of cost. The money needed for this work must come entirely from the generosity and compassion of those who, like us, have seen for themselves the immense good that can come from spreading this good news to all humanity.
