FFL gets about 4-8 new members a week. I see the comments they’re required to make when they sign up. Many are intrigued by the description on HYPERLINK "http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/"http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ FairfieldLife/ and figure they’ve stumbled upon a pretty cool, open-minded group of spiritual seekers. For the most part, they have, but I also see many of them unsubscribe after a few days. They don’t have to leave comments when they unsubscribe, but I suspect that many of them are turned off by the bickering and trash talk that sometimes prevails. This is an unfortunate loss IMO. Don’t the spiritual traditions which we all respect advocate love, forgiveness, acceptance, etc? I don’t understand how people can tolerate indulging in negative feelings and behavior for weeks, months, years. It’s self-polluting. I should think spiritual seekers would be inclined to look within and locate the source of such impulses, and try to eradicate it.
