A Spiritual Walk

People join MSN Groups for many varied reasons, mostly to participate, share, learn and/or meet new 'likeminded' friends across the planet. It is a wonderful medium that we are all blessed to share.

MSN spiritual groups have a particular theme attached. Some have a specific 'mission' attached to that theme. Here at ASW, our personal mission is to offer all who enter or join us, the blessed 'Love of The UNIVERSAL Spirit' we endevour to constantly assist in shining forth from this community.

We offer all who enter, varied spiritual and motivational ways in which when followed, actually can and do ease life's problems. Also, we open a spiritual 'doorway' that can lead one to a 'working and informative understanding' of many other faiths, beliefs and traditions. We aim to create an 'open fellowship' between ALL faiths, under the UNIVERSAL banner of love.

It is imperative that upon joining ASW, as it is with many others groups, that new members actually take a moment before participating, to understand the workings of the group they are joining. And... the way to do this?

Many people are joining this community and not doing so. Therefore they have no knowledge of what I as THIS Group Manager... (or any another MSN Group Manager for that matter) permits or condones to be placed within their site or 'what is or is not' to be posted upon group message boards.

This has, in my personal experience to date, led to many new Members having their posts edited and re-posted. Or worse... deleted. Some repeatedly. They then receive a personal email warning that they have in fact incurred a 'ASW Rule Breach', simply because they DID NOT bother to read the site rules!

Sadly, some are 'offended' that this deletion has taken place! Many of them do actually leave the group! But, they do so completely unaware that they themselves caused their post/s to be deleted, for they were not in keeping with the ASW group giudelines! But as I mentioned, they simply failed to read the guidelines upon joining the group!

It is now, once again, going to be supplied in the 'welcome to the group' email. I trust it will be read and observed. Perhaps some email's will not show it due to email settings that do not permit html. But, if this is the case, they wont receive the ASW 'daily web' mail. Which everyone does if they request it. (This is but one of the many reasons I have been given previously for the site rules not being observed.)

Whatever the case, the rules are here on the site menu and they are there to be read... by ALL Members. I myself, as Manager/Founder of this group, WILL NOT waiver from the site guidelines set out for ASW Members.

Once you have joined ASW, PLEASE read through the site rules. If you decide that you cannot or will not comply with them, please CANCEL YOUR MEMBERSHIP. There is no point joining. I assure you, that as the guardian of THIS spiritual community, I shall NOT permit the site rules to be flaunted... by anyone.

SLANDEROUS talk against/about any other MSN GROUP

If there is an undertone detected here? GOOD! For it is present only because this community and the Members comfort GENUINLY matter to me personally.

I present this group on search engines, as a FAMILY SAFE 'spiritual' haven. A place where anyone can enter and just 'be'. Where all are 'free from the world' and its unwanted intrusions. I police the rules passionately so as to maintain this promise which I make to all ASW Members.

You will no doubt agree that there is enough bending of the rules going on 'out there' causing people grief and trouble, without it entering and showing its presence within this MSN community.

I do trust that you will understand where I come from on this subject.

As long as ALL Members respect and honor this community, its purpose, its people, its rules and its mission?

... You wont hear another peep out of me!
