Joining the private FOTCM Board

[Learner]

Don't you think that the statement "The only true ones" together with the statement that "people are denied true knowledge" and "the world is moving away from the truth" and the suggestion to find answers in FOTCM is a good introduction to any sect? Wouldn't it be closer to the truth to say that "we strive wholeheartedly to live fully with the truths of the original Christians" ?

Have been re-reading that site and to me the text is being conveyed in quite a different way which also matches my own experience: This group is not demanding exclusivity for themselves, but actually inspiring people to do their own research with an open but scrutinizing mind, and to network.

It helps to widen the perspective for many - something that is not in accordance to the wishes of the Powers That Be, as they want to keep people's awareness as narrow as possible. At the same time, this group honors the free will of people to gather knowledge and implement it as they see fit (or are ready) regarding their own individual situations.

As for other groups, I believe if there were ones working in similar ways like FOTCM, they already might have been trying to make contact. FWIW.

I am glad Learner that you perceive it that way , the only logically true statement in my statement is that one cannot assume that someone is the "only thing" without first proving that there is nothing like that thing besides that thing or conclusively proving that that thing is the only thing. All the more reason I wanted to point this out because the C's said that there are "others" like this people/group so to say that one is the only group in some general sense is quite a risky statement. The rest is my subjective comment about the possibility of interpretation. In general I presented my concern I think in a sufficiently logical way so I end here so as not to maintain an unnecessary discussion because I see that I provoked a reaction of denial and a sense of attack.

There might be other similar groups but we don’t find anyone else calling paleochristians themselves as we know the term, so until proven the contrary, yes, we are the only group. If you find another group with this same approach who also call themselves paleochristians, let us known then, and the elders might consider or not, if re-work the statement, otherwise, you are debating about something insignificant.

 

[irjO]

Let me rephrase; even though I do see where are you coming from with your concern, you are debating on a detail that doesn’t have much importance to the value or our principles about paleochristianity. Apologies if I sounded harsh on my previous post, wasn’t the intention at all, but after re-reading it, I realized I sounded a bit harsh.

Hello all,
I'm excited to say that it's been 1 year already I've been part of this incredible community of people on this forum!
Happy ForumDay to me! (4 days in advance )
Even if I still have a huge pile of books to read, looking back, I feel I've learned so much and am forever grateful for all of Laura's work.
As I had discussed in one post earlier this summer, I would be interested in networking with like-minded people, and as per iamthatis's suggestion, I feel I might be ready to ask to join the private board. It's ok if the group feels I'm not ready yet, or if it's not yet relevant to my situation to be on the private board.

Here's the post where it was discussed: Session 6 July 2024

As the 1st post says, if you registered as a FOTCM member, you don't automatically get access to the private board.

As you probably know, or you will find out soon, there is a private sub-forum for FOTCM members. If you have received a FOTCM welcome package this only means that you are registered as a FOTCM member. Access to the private board is not granted automatically when you join the Fellowship though, but is instead decided by the Moderators/Admins for each of you on an individual basis.

I lost my private board access due to lack of participation. I went walk about for several years only checking in now and then to see new sessions and browse topics that I was pondering.

To be honest the private board was above my league but I’d like to give it another go and try to deepen my connections to the energies of the people on the forum.

I would like to be considered again. Or have I blown my chance already?

Should I reapply via the online form?

I believe I’m still a FOTCM member just having my private board access restricted.

Should I reapply via the online form?

No don't do that. The online form is for joining the church which you have already done. Private board access is discussed and determined by the mods and admins based on many factors.

Thanks Beau, that was my impression, just checking to be sure.

Belatedly meadow_wind - congratulations!

Even if I still have a huge pile of books to read

.. and that is unlikely to ever change!

Hi,
Just wondering if I’m still a part of the private forum? I’ve been overwhelmed with commitments recently and have not been able to post as much as I was but I’m still here and participating when I can. What would I need to do to be able to remain or reinstate my membership?

Edit: weird the FOTCM badge next to my avatar was gone but now it’s back, either that or my personal fears over rode what I thought I saw. Anyway I think everything is okay. Just panicked at the thought of not being able to connect here, it’s been a driving force in my life the last five years greatly for the better.

I can’t speak for the elders but to me you’re a valued member of the group and I don’t think you have anything to worry about. Sounds like your negative introject got the better of you.

Feel free to network if you feel the need!

Hi gottathink, probably it was a glitch. The FOTCM badge is still there.

Me too, lately I'm bit too overwhelmed by work and not always i'm able to attend the meetings but when I can, I do it with joy.

Hang in there and take care!
