THC Ministry, etc.
Hello, I'm pleased to have your help in cleaning this article up to a higher standard of quality. I recognize that your user page indicates you consider yourself a member of this organization, and therefore you likely have a broader knowledge of the subject than I or most people. I would like to be fair and open minded, but I hope you will be tolerant of my criticisms which are not for the purpose of injecting my own POV, but intended to distinguish the religious and sacramental aspects from the questionable legal theories that I see the organization promoting to believing and non-believing people.

re: Whig - THC Ministry
Aye, though It does need a bit more work (I think the history needs to be pretty much rewritten to include the Religion of Jesus Christ). I will have to look at it for a little while and get it all worked out. Regardless of the fact that I am a member, I would like it to remain up to NPOV-standards. The way I felt about it was, that editing it to say that they "claimed" to be a religion would have very little difference from editing the article on christianity, hinduism, or any other religion and putting that they "claim" to be a religion. It is not up to the members of wikipedia to determine the legitimacy of any religion (and despite the fact that I cannot stand scientologists AT ALL, I would afford even them the same priveledge).
I agree that some of Roger Christie's claims regarding the THC Ministry are somewhat questionable.
I noticed that you are working on the Psychadelics, Dissociatives, and Deliriants Project. I just recently added my name to the contributor list; hopefully today I can get a bit more put into the project, which I was a bit shocked to find yet in its infancy. You seem like a bright person, deffinitely I will look foward to collaborating with you. --thereverendeg 12:41, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
