I wasn't in that thread. I come very rarely in this forum because I don't need help in this area and I also don't have a need or desire to discuss my spirituality. I just see the lead thread, and I noticed this one and was curious by the beginning of the title.

Was your disappointment by the purpose/parameters that limit the scope of the forum? I am sorry you are disappointed. There are many other places online to discuss/debate things about religion and spirituality though. If that's an area of interest for you, then perhaps join one of those? People often express disappointment (sometimes even anger) that DocJohn has limited the scope of what PC discussions are for. However, I have watched as he has continued to develop the specificity of the scope over the years, and I find it has contributed to PC becoming a very safe space for people to share and get support. In the end he has to decide what is conducive to the peace and functioning of the community and to the people here trying to heal.

Sometimes those limitations are frustrating, but PC is not meant to be all things to all people. It has a very specific purpose. I, for one, greatly appreciate that.

I do believe there is still a social group that you can join and post in to get more of the discussion you were interested in.
