Ah! Thank you! I knew this was all in the transcripts somewhere! Thanks for providing the link, and linking to where that discussion started.
I also recently recieved my (Listener-level) membership in FOTCM, but haven't found any private forums and no symbol on my profile. Is that all perhaps 'gained' at the level of Companion? As I understand, the Listener level is not actually a practicing role in the Fellowship, but simply making a statement that one's beliefs are in line with the FOTCM's Principles. It would make sense to me that once one has shown a level of participation and actual practice of the Fellowship's Principles we would become active members and get our lovely little symbol, access to the private discussion boards, etc.
So as I understand, no, you haven't done anything wrong, irjO, and neither have I, we have simply not yet moved into the circle of participating Companions and above. I understand you participate in your local conference, and I participate what I'd consider a bit above Listener level also, so perhaps for us it might be a matter of formally presenting ourselves to the Fellowship for consideration of the Companion level?
Again, I'm a fairly new member, so perhaps a more experienced member could confirm and/or elaborate on this for us? Almost not even a question, we've got a great group here :)

Ah! Thank you! I knew someone would help me follow that up. Much appreciated!
And WOW!! Somehow, I missed ever seeing that original crop circle pic! That one is definitely going in my "favorite crop circles" folder! :)
It has recently been presented to me to attend some "church" type activity. I was told to attend the Church of Christ as they are not so dogmatic. But I can't get comfortable with the creed and the sacraments. This is more of where I fit, I am sure. Physical fellowship certainly has its benefits as well as the community bonding, but my spirituality doesn't fit the guidelines. Of course if you ask most of the attendees at your local church its amazing how little they understand about what they have sworn or affirmed. So for me its not about fitting in, but the community thing feels good. As I learn more about FOTCM, perhaps I shall do some recruiting among the like minded. Our business creates its own kind of physical community anyway since we are an alternative healing facility offering custom herbal formulas, energy work, nutritional reflexology etc. Recently we have worked on a vet returning from 3 tours and have seen some amazing changes. The stresses in everyone are really high right now, not just vets. The techniques we use the most are B.E.S.T. (Bio-energetic Synchronization Technique) and Emotion Code. Used together they are amazing. That's a little of where I'm coming from. It's lightning here so I'll shut down. I've read Laura's book "The Secret History of The World" and have referred to it often and now I'm reading a book with the same title by Mark Booth, has anyone else read that one?
Welcome to the forum, Herbman! Please head on over to the newbies board to properly introduce yourself, maybe tell us a little about how you became familiar with Laura's work, so we can all get to know you: http://cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php/board,39.0.html
Just curious, but who 'presented' the idea to you? Sounds like an odd request to me.
There's a bit of a discussion about it here: http://cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php/topic,8120.msg241450.html#msg241450
