Sorry, but this is simply false. There are lots of faiths and religions that do not have a 'spread the word' requirement.

I can't speak for Amanaki, but the mods haven't slapped my hand (on that rule) and I share some of his concerns some days about it. Maybe it's just being cautious or pre-emptive.

Everyone when discussing anything religious or indeed ideology at all; must engage in "self promotion" That's part of debate and discussion. That's how we hash out ideas by comparing and contrasting.I want to be 100% open to all members here, There has been some indication from a few members that they feel me Proselyte about Falun Gong. And since it is against the RF rules, it would be very good both to me and to you if you could be fully honest and say if you feel I have been proselyting to the extent that I should be reported for it (feel free to report me)
What I speak of in this forum are and will be about cultivation of Falun Gong, and some see it as proselyting, I have been given advice from one member (i do not give the name in this thread) that maybe another forum more directly related to Falun Gong would be better for me, and I see this as a good advice.
So I put out a poll. feel free to give an honest poll answerI don't get offended if it shows the majority feels I been proselyting. then I just need to agree with mods how they see my future in the forum. (mods, please vote too)
Real "proselytizing" is something really obvious and blatant. Such as "you should become falun gong".
I think people on this forum should keep that in mind. Otherwise we won't have any discussion left.
Good to know you consider Judaism and Hinduism as minor faiths.That's why I said Major without listing them.

Not all Major Faiths.
Some sects within "All Major Faiths" at most
My faith tells me "Only speak if it improves the Silence"
Following this, there is no negative impact of proselytizing

The point of "spiritual debate forum" could be to learn the lesson "drop the arrogant attitude of 'my way is the highway' "
The mods are there to make sure the rules are adhered to (yes i found that out the hard way). If they have not cited you (or Amanaki) for a rule violation then chances are there is no violation.
So maybe you have been sailing close enough to the wind to be concerned but not close enough to go over the edge.
Who knows? It's wise to not react unless you get a note though.
It is you that have chosen to respond to me, why? I see adequate evidence for what I offered.
Psalm 96:3 "Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples!"
That is Jewish.
Now as to Hinduism. Are you now offering it can be seen as a specific Faith?
Are there Gurus, Teachers? Do they have followers? What was the need for the Guru's if there is no intention to spread the teaching further?
How about Krishna?
Krishna’s teachings to light your life

I don't want to derail Amanaki's thread. If you want to rehash this further, please start a new thread.

I did not agree with reply #23. I saw that you liked reply #23. So that might indicate that you have a little proselytizing in you.
But as you already mentioned, proselytizing is not your intention, you have something to work on.
No need to go to a "Falun Gong" only debate. Just learn to control proselytizing.

Proselytizing is about "my way is the highway"
This is "so not Hindu tradition"
There are far more christian sects than divisions in any other faith (around 50,000 i am lead to believe) so is it a specific faith of 50,000 sub faiths?

I haven't noticed it being so. I think the RF team would have thumped you on the head by now. Anyway, all sorts of religions are discussed, cussed, and dissected on this site. People have to be able to explain why they believe in a particular deity or deities, so proselytizing kinda happens anyway.
It is great you practice what your Faith Teaches. You talk and share when the audience is receptive, well done you are here and sharing.

It is specific to the Writings they have embraced.
To share when an audience is found. To be silent when there is not.

Ahh the many, many different versions of the bible. Different interpretations of those different bibles are the reasons for all the schisms
A willing audience, that is paramount
