As ever we will never quite know where you are on this subject. I Fully understand that you do not wish to create a seperation that means you are rejected by the SNU given almost everyone on this site and elsewhere knows who Zerdini is, as I am sure does the SNU/NEC.
I fully understand and accept why you feel it is necessary to sit on the fence

I believe you have been involved for so long that a straight shooting comment would be valued highly by many on here.

I think everyone knows I believe that the SNU needs a reformation. The central control and actions of the NEC in this matter tells me that the original philosophy behind the SNU has been lost.

I thought my position and views were perfectly clear. I accept that there are two sides to every dispute.

A little while ago I suggested that practical help, rather than just words, needed to be given to the PN staff in need and I was pleased to hear that this had been done although the details are strictly confidential and will always remain so.

I start by telling you that I will do my best with this, but I have disgraphia, which effects my spelling and wrighting, and I know who David Smith is. He is Dave who is working with me on this, and he did some paper work which involved his name being put on it. As David Smith is one of the most popular names in Scotland, I had to find out which David Smith it was as I regularly work with three. So that aside.

Has anyone looked at the Trade Mark application for Psychic News, That was put in by SNU. Under the heading of Application type: They have applyed for Certification Mark, Which if put in to laymans terms means that they are trying to Govern Spiritual practices.
The good thing about this is that I happen to know that NO organisation or person still envolved in the practice of the good and services, that they are certifing is allwoud to be a certifing body.
I know this because I was envolved in a body that has already applied to do this over a year ago, and it is still going through, this I confirmed this morning, with the board that is working on it.
The body that is set up is NOT about controll, it is just to set standards that people will be able to work to if the want, and to stop anyone else, using this service to take controll.
I stepedd away from the body after a very hard decision, I would have to stop working as a medium if I did not. At first I decided that this was to important for me to take my personal feelings into account, and that I am only one person, and that this would stop any other body using this as attack on Spiritualism, and not to premote Spiritualism. As I have been envolved in groups in the past where this has happend and I always end up walking away, because they forget to be Spiritual and want controll.
However, this time last year, I the space of one week, three people how had lost a loved one called on me, two by just knocking on my door, and the other one,by phone on Christmas eve, all of them needed mediumship there and them. I had to stop and think, that by walking away, that I could never turn someone away who needed help, and the choice was not mine to make.
I from that day stepped down from the board, but I know that all the people how are still involved are genuine Spiritual people and that they have all gave up practicing, not for their personal intrest, but for the intrest to keep spiritualist group who they are and to let them be controlled by controlling groups.
I know that there are a lot of diffirent Spiritualist Group out there and they all work diffirent, but there is a lot of different people out there, who want different things, so we need the diffirent group to meet the needs,
If we are trully spiritual people then why can't we all pull together and except that people are different and have different needs, with a common intrest (being Spiritual).
I peronaly have had mud slung at me in many occasions, mainly for having a wrighting disabillity, something that I can't change, but it is the only thing that they can find to through at me.
I wonder if the same so called spiritual people would have a go at people with a walking disability if the tried to walk, my disability only stops me wrighting, not reading and as I have proved over and over againg not understanding, and reserching into things.
I hope you all look into this SNU Certification Mark, And I know that the group that has it going though has no intention of using it for anything outher than it being thier for the people who want It.
Sorry about the spelling and punctuation, I am sure it will make someones day if they feel the need to have a go at someone, at least I will still be doing something to make someone happy.

Nevertheless that doesn't absolve the SNU from its responsibility in this matter which I trust will be rectified very soon.

As I said to you, in my PM, if people feel that reformation is needed it is better done from within the organisation rather than pressure from outside.

I also stated many have tried in the past and many have failed. There is a strong body who want to retain the status quo and are resistant to, and see no need for, change.

However, in life, change is constant and situations will not remain the same for ever.
