We have designed these Guidelines to go by so that
everyone knows what is expected and acceptable behavior.

1) Membership is on a sponsorship basis.
If you do not have a sponsor but wish to become a member click here

2) Sponsorship into the group does not always mean membership.
There will be a trial period for us to all get to know each other
before permanent membership is established.

3) ALL new members will be asked to submit a letter of introduction.
Please note that this is a requirement.

4) ALL members will will be sent a questionaire upon joining.
The information gathered will not be made public on an
individual basis but will be used to show the types of
members we have as a whole.

5) There will be NO badmouthing, badgering or outright fighting
tolerated. NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!
Discusion on differences of opinions is encouraged though. We
allow and accept all religious denominations.

6) Any personal problems amongst members will be kept just that,
PERSONAL!
Do not send e-mail to the Whispering Willows e-mail address
to be forwarded on to the members of the group, it just won't happen.

7) NO bashing of other religious beliefs, race, physical abilities,
sexual preferences, or political affiliation will be tolerated.
We are not here to start a "hate" group but to help promote
a pleasant place for all people to meet.

8) The member mailing list will not be given out.
Anything to be sent to the group will be done by mailing to
Whispering Willows

9) We will send e-mail to the group in "digest" form.
E-mail will only be sent singly on an "emergency" or priority basis.

10) Any scheduled chats will be moderated.
The chat protocol will be sent out by the chat moderator beforehand.

11) Because of AOL's Terms Of Service
no one under 18 will be allowed membership.
OK, I don't like this one either but, there is nothing I can do about it.

If you have decided to become a member and have read these
Guidelines and agree to them please send me an e-mail
stating that fact. If you have any questions or concerns you
can let me know that in the e-mail as well.
