Why aren't more members posting?

Seems as though lately it's been Katy King, Admin Jim, Quiet, and myself.

Jim

Maybe its something we said.
;-)

But at least we're talking!

Jim

Maybe there's some super dooper other website we don't know about.
I' happy enough on this one. Nice class of posters and no obvious nut cases.

Maybe you're not saying the right things to encourage more contributions?

Seriously, though, there are only so many subjects that can be discussed without repetition or deviation - sounds like the rules of 'Just a Minute'!

On a personal level I'm tired - even a little bored - of the same, old same-old and I'm taking a literary break until something new, or something less visited, comes up.

As a further thought, we have another Spiritualism-focused website and I contribute to other websites where Spiritualism is simply another forum, often with few contributors or visitors there.

Without new topics, or without new seekers, it's all-too-easy to run out of stuff to discuss....

I thought there must be other spiritualist websites but am new to all this.
Where is it at mac?

I've been making the occasional posts - but have enjoyed reading more of the replies and information posted by others.... That's the nature of forums... some lurk, some shirk and some spurt

How are things in Wales Les?
Are they keeping you busy over there?

Hi Peter, Dark and gloomy here in the land of dragons and castles
Quite busy at the moment - took over as our Churches booking sec about four months ago - which I actually enjoy! Had a number of private reading this week - which I also enjoy!! And... had an amazing time at my weekly circle (closed).... I'm very new to trance mediumship, and slowly... slowly... slowly... developing (so any tips advice, or help from you lot reading this - would be gratefully appreciated ).

How about you? Good week?

Busy last week thirteen sittings at tea with Spirit and a few one to ones at church. Colleague at work off sick so covered her evening class hence worked four six to nines and had to cancel my Weds sittings here at home. She was in work yesterday so hoping all back to normal next week.
Trance is hard work. Gives me a raging headache so I don't do it so much now. Over shadowing is as far as I go these days but they like that and Joanna is a strong guide so she's OK with limited resources from me. Robert on here with White Feather is your man for trance tips. He's possIbly the best trance medium bringing philosophy still working in UK today.
I've never heard anything but praise for his work.
Jack Corbett the trance medium's trance medium was a life member of our church here. He's passed now.

Jack works with Stephen Wakeling who has
spiritualismresources.com
Steve is more of a mental medium though. You can see clips of him working on that site.

Thanks Peter - will take a look.

Hoping to see Robert this year and of course try to book him for here in the land of castles and dragons.

This forum is very interesting but in my time of reading and participation it hasn't had huge numbers of people posting.

I've learned quite a bit here but I like feeling some kind of kinship with people who share some of the same beliefs and principles.

I have missed hiorta in recent weeks and hope that he is well.

Ah, then, Mac: we'll have to come up with something new, to titillate your fancy!

I miss him also. Does anyone have any news on Hiorta?

Jim

I can see he was here today around 7.30am our time. So he is all right

I shall look forward to that, Jim....

Maybe you are full of your own pissing importance, and nobody else needs bother??

WC, I notice that in two of your earlier posts, you have been quite critical of David Thompson's abilities, does that mean you have had the decency to sit with him
before pouring forth your own venom?

That's not a nice way to put your point across, is it?

wcthethird? Perhaps that's why you have a mouth like a wc......

It's bad netiquette, offensive and against forum rules to personally attack members as you have. Attack what others say, the weak points they may make and that's fine but personal attacks are not. That's a principle I apply routinely to my contributions.

If you can't challenge ideas without offensive remarks, then you shouldn't write at all.

I do have a suggestion.Make a safe corner ,where no challenges allowed.
People can post spiritual ideas ,experiences,stories in safety and feel they
won't be subjected to ridicule or any criticism.
Stephen

Well my reason for not posting is a simple one,,,,, there is so much here to read

I must say that I feel a little bit intimidated to post things as I'm new to the subject and fear criticism from others of my lack of knowledge and experience or differing opinions and thoughts. But maybe that's just me. I can be a bit of a scaredy cat at times.
