SNU - SOS (Save Our Spiritualism)

[Only admins are allowed to see this image]
Peter Doswell started this petition to Spiritualist National Union and 2 others
Spiritualism Under The S.N.U In The United Kingdom Is In Serious Decline . There Is A Serious Lack Of Interaction With Prospective Congregations . Churches Run By The SNU Are Closing . Power And Ego And Politics Is Rife In Our Churches And Has And Is Driving Many Mediums Away From The Churches Run By The SNU . I Became A Spiritualist Medium In An SNU Church In 1989 . People With Ego Seem To Forget That They Are Human And Have Never Made Mistakes . In Fact Many Presidents And SNU Committee / District Council Members Of Churches And The Organisation Would Do Well To Remember That They Are Merely " Caretakers " . We Need To Be Building A Stronger Spiritualism For Our Future Generations . The Gift Of Spirit Communication Must Never Be Lost . The Pioneers Worked Hard To Get Where We Are Today . In 2012 A Local SNU Church Was About To Close Due To Lack Of Members And Attendances Were Very Low . I Pleaded With The Then President Of The Southern District Council To Let Me Go In And Turn It Around . They Ignored My Offer And The SNU Closed The Church . Within Two Weeks I Had It Open As An Independent Centre With Over 60 People A Week Attending . I Then Opened Another Centre From Scratch . Within A few Weeks That Centre Had 80 People Attending . I Took A Break Due To Ill Health But I Am Now Back To 100% . I Would Be Delighted To Be A Voluntary Ambassador For The SNU . I Want To Work With Them . I Am Deeply Saddened Where Spiritualism Is Heading In Our United Kingdom . Change Must Happen . This Week I Have Learned That Another SNU Church In London Has Closed . The Church I Started In As A Boy SNU Is Now In Serious Trouble Along With Many Others In My City . I Have Raised This Petition To Plead Once Again With The SNU Nationwide To Allow Me To Help . I Cannot Stand By And Watch My Spiritual Home Collapse Because Of A Lack Of Enthusiasm And EGO . Listen To Me I Want To Help You SNU . Embrace The Power Of Spirit . With Spirit Everything Is Possible . We Need Change .[Telephone number deleted by admin] . Please Share This Petition Wherever You Can . It Does Not Matter If You Are Not SNU . SOS .

I think mac you hit the nail right on the head. 

Jon Donnis is really a long suffering wannabe spiritualist.

I have stood on platform, given readings, studied the history.
Met more mediums face to face than anyone else on here.
I am the most experienced and knowledgeable person on here when it comes to spiritualism.

JDBP wrote:For not only do I know how it all works, I also know what goes on behind the scenes, and I am not just talking about how mediums perform readings, but also how the industry works, how the SNU works, how certain groups confiscate deeds to churches, how certain high ups in various spiritualist organisations bully and threaten newbie mediums. 

And if just one medium could do what they claim and prove that just 1% of it is real, I would lead a revolution like never seen before, and take spiritualism to a new level that would truly change the world for the better.

Instead all I find is frauds.

You forget that I have read the 6-page report in the Skeptic mag where you gave a day-by-day account of the so-called [sometimes stated 6 weeks / sometimes 7 or 8 weeks    - when in fact it was one day a week over 6 weeks, making it a 6 days] 'course' in 'mediumship' that you took part in.  (Can't believe now that I actually paid! to have the issue sent to me because you refused to publish it or otherwise make it available online anywhere else).  If it makes you happy to think that such activity makes you the "most experienced and knowledgeable person on here" where Spiritualism is concerned, then you are just proving how utterly ridiculous such a remark makes you and your "thinking process" sound.

I would be interested to read about that!
