Welcome

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome new poster Paul -- or "MrNirom" to the list. This welcome includes "Kristin," "acey888," "ngc.3603," and any others that I may have overlooked.

Speaking specifically to Paul I want you to know that active LDS (Latter-Day Saints -- Mormons) members are welcome here. We have a number of active LDS here and as far as I recall they have all been model members. I make no judgement about anyone's motive of being here. Even if someone is here to report the writings to church authorities is of no concern to me. Maybe they will still learn something useful.

The important thing for all members is that they obey the basic rules of the group namely to be reasonably courteous and not make a nuisance of themselves.

Bringing up questions about other philosophies out there is fine. The only thing that crosses the line in this regard is if one acts like an Amway salesman and starts forcing off topic material upon us.

You've shown no signs of doing this. I'm glad you brought up Dr Dahesh. I have heard of him before and find him an interesting character, but miracles alone are not enough to convince me he is the Christ, or even a Master, for a higher entity (good or bad) could be working through him. Thus we have to look at his teachings and his fruits.

I hope you forwarded my last post on Dahesh to the follower that responded. I am curious about his response.

I'm also interested in what your opinion of Dahesh is.
