Scott Moderator I tried the search engine about the pros and cons of fluoridated tap water. Could not find any comments. Has Billy said anything about this subject. joe | ||
Patm Member Post Number: 437 Registered: 07-2006 |
Votan, Try the following search criteria tip: Search for: "fluori water" Keyword Options: "And" (Match all keywords) Match method: Parts of words Match case: Case insensitive Look in: text of message Note: this search engine is a simple but powerful tool in the above example I used "fluori" as part of my search criteria because I also selected Match method: 'Parts of words' (not default) which will result in "fluori" being the same as fluori* and will find all occurences of fluorine, fluoride, fluoridate, fluorinate, etc. And since I also included "water" as part of the search criteria in conjunction with Keyword option 'And' the search result will provide a list all posts containing both the word "water" and all results for words beginning with fluori*. one last note: some of us may not use a spell checker prior to posting so you may also want to check "flouri"  Hope this helps Salome PatM | ||

Just my personal thoughts, The FIGU English Forum (not the Bible- or 'new-age'-Forum) has its own purpose as its name states. Within it are categories and topics for discussion, each with its own title. In the case of this posting's (original) topic "FIGU Related » Prophecies and Predictions". Thus as is stated in this posts titled topic "FIGU Related" Prophecies and Predictions, not "Bible related" Prophecies and Predictions. Therefore Bible verses as a reference for discussion do not really belong in this particular category/topic. Many new and old posters on this forum need to periodically review the Forum Guidelines as a refresher. http://forum.figu.org/cgi-bin/us/discus.cgi?pg=instructions#rules Whatever is posted and WHERE it is posted should be permissible IF the post's content belongs under the category/topic posted and all Forum rules are followed. I would suggest personally that outside (non-FIGU) references NOT be used to explain FIGU material as well as don't use FIGU material to explain outside (non-FIGU) resources. They are not comparable in regard to the reality and its truth. No matter what belief-system a new member may still be basing their life on when they start investigating the FIGU material on this forum, the primary focus should stay on the FIGU reference material with the eventual liberation from EVERY individual's belief-system for themselves if/when they determine they are ready, Summary: Everyone (including me)as forum members need to pay more attention to and respect the categories/topics PRIOR to entering your post in them. (note: I have posted this response where it belongs, not in the category/topic where the original post I am responding to originated). Salome PatM | ||

Ok Patm, that makes sense actually. My post was more about, we can encounter impulses from those texts, and then neutralise them using the knowledge out of the spirit teaching texts, so that we clear those misunderstandings up and get a clearer picture of the truth. But I suppose that's more of a personal task and not really fit for the discussion forum anyway. And I suppose we could get ourselves right back into confusion doing that too. I hope the idea to only bring FIGU publications in here happens. | ||

So according to the KG49, only mission, spiritual teaching, and overpopulation posts will be accepted. Sweet, I can talk about overpopulation (and the other two) all day! :-) But this brings me to my point of posting under this thread, I have a question for the moderators. Will we be notified when we are rebuked? I do not wish to be banned after 2 rebukes. Also if my post under the "Natural logic" queue is too lengthy, I apologize, I wrote this post before I read Scott's message under "announcements", my forum feed did not notify me of this new Scott message, this must be verifiable somehow electronically (no first rebuke?). I will do my best to keep it short from here on out. Corey, regarding members being rebuked, my take is this has to do with intention. If a member is not making an effort to confine their post to the topic heading and is attempting to twist or distort information to suit their own viewpoints this can lead to a reprimand and eventual termination of their membership to the forum. Generally I don't find this to be the case with most people, but the purpose of these directives was to clean up many areas which were not really mission related. The rebukes would be done electronically of course, unless the person has provided a fraudulent email address. Salome Scott (Message edited by scott on June 06, 2017) Salome/Corey Müske | ||
Corey Member Post Number: 211 Registered: 10-2016 |
One final observation: with the new directives, there will be a focus on the spiritual teaching posts. People should really give a once over to Robyn's post 710 under "announcements" for how to handle the short posting of Billy's passages (not just a few English sentences, but also the corresponding original German), translations, summaries, and copyright information. I must be one of the only few that includes this information, and I do not even do a complete enough job of the copyright information I can tell by my re-read of this. Salome/Corey Müske | ||

This would seem to be a logical progression in the teaching of the “Teaching of spirit, the teaching of life, the teaching of truth and therefore the teaching of the truth of the laws and recommendations of the primal power of all existence, Creation.” Yes, it is essential that “the forum concentrates on FIGU/mission-relevant discussions”. I’d assume that much of the closed topics as Scott (FIGU Forum Moderator) outlined would still be available for reading, as this provided a concrete base for new comers for historical truthful facts and various collaborations. Closed Topics: -Poetry, music and art -Pyramids -Plejaren information about health, disease and the human body -Plejaren Antigravity Technology -Complaints About the Pleiadians / Plejarans -The High Council in Andromeda -Questions to Billy Submitted for Peer Review -Questions to Billy Answered by Ourselves -Numbers and Symbols -Dream Interpretation -TWA Flight 800 -Discussions on World Governments and their Leaders and the Countries... -The Natural World -Third (fourth) world war based on FIGU material -New emerging Scientific and Technological Developments -The Apollo 11 Hoax -Planet Mars info based on FIGU material -Future missions & exploration to planets/moons within the "Sol" System... -Aging, Aggressive Genes & Human Health -Ape derived from man -Chemical Spraying -ET Intervention On Earth based on FIGU material Sincerely Salome Kenneth Kenneth, Yes the previous postings are still available for reading as are the archived areas which were created many years ago. Understandably, there will be members whom are not happy with these changes, but this Forum was setup in the late 90's with the intention of furthering the Mission, but it seems the discussions of the last few years have become focused on Politics etc, which have their place but not here. Additionally, some of these topic areas have been very quiet for some time, so the impact of their closure shouldn't be too significant. Regards Scott (Message edited by scott on June 06, 2017) | ||
Votan Member Post Number: 798 Registered: 12-2011 |
Scott What does FIGU stand for if not for information? Votan, the decision to make these changes, was not a singular decision by a singular person. This was a combined effort by the Moderators and Administrators of the FIGU Forums. If you research the archives from the earlier years you will notice more adherence to the FIGU information as it was available at the time. If you look at the discussions for the past year, the main focus has been Politics and the possibilities of World War. Many times it is hard for the Moderators to decide what should be allowed and what shouldn't, because no matter what you do someone is going to be upset. I think this is a good and needed change and will further discussions pertaining more to the mission than world events etc. Scott (Message edited by scott on June 06, 2017) joe | ||

Scott, I have to admit, I am somewhat surprised to see that "Discussions on World Governments and their Leaders and the Countries" and "Third (fourth) world war based on FIGU material" are included in the above list, as these were frequently active. But I will agree that the focus has been on politics for quite some time, no doubt because a lot of us are concerned about the times, so we discuss it to alleviate the fear in our minds. However, as this has also been a source of distress for me, I am pleased to see their closure. It will allow me to deal with my fear without feeding it. | ||
Hugo Member Post Number: 405 Registered: 04-2015 |
The Western world has taken away the right to free speech and so too now Figu! Just joking. I understand why Figu did this. Hopefully they will allow the WW3/4 section to open if/when WW3/4 starts to happen. This is my first go to place for info on WW3/4. | ||
Carolyn Member Post Number: 16 Registered: 05-2017 |
I found myself getting quite defensive in another forum, because my politics didn't match up with the politics of other people, and they ganged up on me. So I left that forum. I noticed when I came into this forum a few weeks ago that the same kind of thing was going on here. . . . basically that some people were "beating up" on other people who no doubt expected that they had to defend their points of view. I determined before I came in here that I won't argue with anybody about any subject that comes up in this forum, because it's simply too wearing on my own peace of mind. No doubt that's what prompted the CG 49 to take some of the topics offline. Maybe when the discussion becomes more peaceable they'll allow more topics again?

Scott Moderator Post Number: 2691 Registered: 12-1999 |
Hello Forum Members, The other moderators and myself want to emphasize to please keep your posts relevant to the topic heading. There were a number of posts in the queue, which if read individually you would not know which topic they belonged to. Please tie your posts to the topic in some fashion so we as moderators know your intention is to post in that area. We (Moderators) understand the need to respond to others, but the discussion is about the material being presented by FIGU. Also please keep your posts as concise and direct as possible, which helps everyone understand what you are trying to express. Thank you Scott-Forum Moderator | ||
Joseph_emmanuel Member Post Number: 268 Registered: 05-2004 |
Just a thought, but a way around unrelated posts could be to email each other instead. That way the threads would be kept clean, with posts related to each topic heading, and members would receive more personal messages without being ignored entirely. Of course, some of us might feel uncomfortable sharing emails with everyone here, but a way around that could be through the moderators forwarding the more personal messages. I don't see why that can't work. It would also keep things on a more human level between members if our posts are going to be restricted as to what and how much we can say, as I fear it might get a bit too formal here. As I say, just a thought. | ||
Joseph_emmanuel Member Post Number: 269 Registered: 05-2004 |
In response to Corey's post (210) in The Application of Natural Logic, where it is mentioned that there are many variations of students on this forum, I would be very interested to know (if this is at all possible and even appropriate) which students are the more "learned", and whether or not Core Members post messages here as well, and who they are. My reason for wanting to know this is to show the appropriate respect and attitude towards such people, especially as the only hierarchy defined on this forum is the moderators and then the members, and that's fine. But to give an example, the respect that I would show Billy were I communicating with him would be completely different to the respect that I might show members here. For one thing, I would not necessarily question what he says, whereas as you all know, I am ready to question anyone here. But that is because I am not aware of members' level of learning and evolution. I would like to show the appropriate level of respect (like a first year student towards a third year student), and not be so quick to judge and question, but to listen. | ||
Justinelombard Member Post Number: 8 Registered: 06-2016 |
Joseph_emmanuel, I wouldn't say that there is a hierarchy at all within FIGU, my understanding is that there are various groups which suggests a more even playing field if I had to use a sports analogy to describe this most fascinating point in our time. I see the FIGU as a unity oneness global family of earth human beings, and much of what I am trying to say can be found within the contact reports of which I have only read online and contrary to what has been said are PACKED with the spiritual teaching as introduced to us in English by a variety of wonderful individuals that have thankfully translated them for people like lil ole moi and many others if only they would.. to read. That's why I don't like to say too much here but love reading and listening to the conversation And now I could not give a proper answer without clarifying and sharing with you all my situation and what I have read from the contact reports, the pdf. GOT and 2 other books, which I have hardly done justice to the way of actual study to ... But it would take too long on this post And I have not even been to visit in Switzerland yet so I really wonder if I should even be on this forum ..lol However my attraction to the FIGU is such that this is the least I could do for now I have noticed some of your comments especially about work , manual labour and how beneficial and necessary it is which were great! Again BEAM'S words go deeply into how important good human work is. | ||
Msmichelle Member Post Number: 347 Registered: 02-2010 |
Justine, post 8..... you're right in a sense the contact reports did provide great information in relation to the Spiritual Teaching however, IMO, the problem was some were relying exclusively on the contact reports and they were not purchasing the Spiritual Teaching books Written by BEAM which are interwoven with the code MsMichelle | ||
Corey Member Post Number: 225 Registered: 10-2016 |
Joseph_E, I remember how much I used to learn from Indi before she became a moderator, and how much I used to learn from Jacob in his teaching posts. I thought it was the coolest thing that these people were reading the big book of OM, and other encoded books, and now I have done the same thing. :-) Salome/Corey Müske | ||
Justinelombard Member Post Number: 9 Registered: 06-2016 |
Hi MsMichelle, Totally agree, That's why I have made an effort to buy, however that is a mission on its own direct from figu as I've been into the bank twice to do a money wire or order or transfer or whatever they call it and not once been successful. Buying off that jewel of a site they fly is a bit easier yet still requires no less than 3 transactions from my side due to added transport costs, added import taxes after lying in customs for weeks. I'm not complaining I'm just sayin. There is also a tiny matter of exchange rates / forex which do not get me started on. All this talk about the online evils of screen time, shouldn't stop folk from binge reading the contact reports like I did , the world will be a better place when that trend catches on. I have dedicated the rest of my life to reading and studying Billy's teaching and would never be so presumptuous as to discredit the printed books which takes time getting access to and ironically all related to everyone's own development (I don't know what I don't know yet but that doesn't stop me from reaching out to others even if it feels a bit like fumbling around in the dark, because this is just so big) ..As for that evolutive CODE, I speed read the GOTT a few years back and quite frankly feel that even in English that evolutive code has had a powerful effect on me in that it opened a flood gate of powerful notions that take time and experience and effort (will) to control inwardly and possibly rather even a bit unbalanced I am because of the language barrier. Even so I currently choose to read in English I even sometimes read a translation and think to myself they actually meant something slightly different but I kinda get what this guy or girl is trying to say - I suspect I have even sometimes once or twice my very own self picked up mistakes in translations especially online because it is not as well monitored as the print) Even though I do shy away from German language until I am a bit more settled due to making drastic changes in my personal situation over the last few years. Many people are multilingual in my country (we have 11 official languages here) and I studied french at school and speak, read and write Afrikaans which is similar to Dutch, I have a natural way of not taking the translations too literally and THINKING about what i've read and am also aware of the shortcomings of the english language (religious sounding & vague words) I am aware of pitfalls of translation, the fact of the matter is that yes its better for our own evolution to follow the suggestions quite clearly stated in "the freely available material" because I can only imagine what treasures lie in the books! which leaves me hoping that I can afford at least 1 or 2 a year so I better live to see the day where I have my very own library of Billys works. I would feel different if the cost per book was less than 100bucks for me but for me to get hold of a book its like over 2000bucks and that is a month of schoolfees. Again I'm not complaining about the value because Billy's work is priceless and I know he or the mission only get a fraction of what anyone actually pays in monetary value!! Thanks for all the encouragement on what I have been writing dear Sister. I often agree with what you say. Liked what you said about having to raise your voice in order to get anything done in certain environments... Been there too when I worked in "construction" for about a decade but thankfully I made a great effort to make some drastic changes in my life that have led to lots of peace and happiness too and knowing about these things of teaching has made things much easier to bear for me. Hello Justine, I don't know if your aware of the "new directives", but we (moderators) have the responsibility to keep things on track regarding posts which members choose to share with others. Reading your post you have covered multiple subjects which could be separated out into other areas. Since you are new, you may not be aware of these new rules, but I just wanted to remind you of the following: - The moderators have to make sure that discussions of a certain topic do not wander to another. - Posts, which do not clearly belong/match to a discussion topic, are rejected. - Users shall make it short in their posts (we do not accept posts of excessive length). Thank you for your cooperation and welcome to the FIGU Forum Scott-FIGU Forum Moderator (Message edited by scott on June 10, 2017) | ||

I'm new to this forum, but I'm already hearing way too much about the rules, the rules, the rules. It sounds a lot like just another "church" with a bunch of do's and don'ts.
