We Have Our First Group Area!

Yesterday members of the Order of the Standing Oak chose and cleared a designated area in Middleworld Woods for their group, assisted by Kate, John, and myself.  We got to meet a couple of new friends and finished up by cooking out and having some great conversation.  It is nice seeing the church grow - right now we have a dozen members and 3 groups in the church.

It does seem, however, that there are a few people out there who are busily making asses of themselves by spreading gossip, trying to tear other people in the Pagan community down and generally engaging in juvenile behavior fit only for those without any moral compass or basic sense of common respect.  These people will ALWAYS exist, and to be sure, will consistently go out of their way to disparage both individuals and groups with whom they have absolutely no ties, no information, no insight, and no knowledge about.  I'm sure by now that these same people have a word or sixty to say about our Church as well, and if that's the case. I challenge them to sit down at my table and face me one-on-one. I seriously doubt they will for that is NOT the way of cowards - and yes, that's all these people are - COWARDS.

Let them flap their gums. Karma has LONG ARMS, and there is absolutely nothing about our Church that is not totally above board and transparent to the general public.  When one has nothing to hide, one hides nothing.  Anyone who listens to the gossip and refuses to do their own research but swallows all of the senseless, selfish, unqualified and arrogant BS without question isn't the type of person we want in the Church anyway.  There are plenty of groups out there that cater to that kind of egoist drama - let them go indulge themselves as they see fit.  As for the rest of us - it's nothing but a thing totally unworthy of our time, attention, and effort.  Flush the toilet on the septic gossip and be done with it.
