I personally know a few who started cutting their hair
after reading a certain persons writings
Now, that I can definitely believe.
I don't doubt the effect of peer pressure, or the influence a group can have.
But, like I said, this forum is just a medium, just a tool......my guess is those folks would have changed soon enough, even without the forum.

Renda surely you know that this place either impacts or validates a great number of folk moving from traditional Oneness belief to something else.
But, that's the difference - - those folks are moving already. They are searching or questioning already - finding "likeminded" people here might help them not feel so "out there" in their thinking. Does that make sense?

without question i believe this forum has helped people change their beliefs.

The information and opinions found on this forum have definitely had an effect on people, but the forum is merely a medium.

Well, peoples, as much as I'd love to stay here and continue this little exchange, tonight is golf league, and my partner and I are only 1 1/2 points out of first place.
So I'm headed to the range!
Be back later!
