Dear Sisters, 

In an earlier post(NOW WE ARE LEAVING THE COMFORT ZONE-A POLL), I had 
mentioned that when you read the opening 
introductions to GTW, you will find that it is one branch of the 
INTERSPIRIT initiative. Investigate the other branches and you will 
find the inherent problems clearly defined. That is why I suggested a 
poll that we could all participate in that could serve to either 
redefine and renew the site, or to create a new space.

Many members have been busy having private conversations with others 
for the entire duration of this period of confusion(several months). 
Too many feel "unsafe" here. Many have dropped out. Others belong to 
other organizations, but keep in touch with those they have found a 
deep connection with. Many things discussed would never be posted on 
this forum without radical changes in effect.

If we decide to open another space to gather, I would encourage you 
not to use anything except a "secure https" site!!! A member with 
whom I spoke yesterday, had wonderful suggestions. I will not post 
them here. Google is NOT SAFE!!!

In my last posting, I mentioned a particular challenge faced by all 
groups that pose a serious threat to the established order. We have 
spies monitoring all activist sites. They pose as members and sow 
discord and confusion in each targeted group. One member posted the 
terrifying threats she has endured since "speaking out" in her 
community. She took a great risk in declaring that openly. WE MUST 
HONOR HER AND MANY OTHERS LIKE HER AND LISTEN!!!WE MUST NOT BE 
NAIVE!!!

The political climate has become increasingly defensive and 
offensive. We cannot place ourselves in harm's way. I would like to 
be more specific, but I cannot. We can form a chain from one trusted 
member to another and pass vital information along that link until we 
have a secure alternative.
