Shaun,
I've been a part of this group since its inception and have even posted
on this list on occasion. Although, you probably don't recall any of my
posts (I'm pretty selective on what I comment on) I can definitely talk
some about the Church of Mez, it's stance, it's "direction", and so on,
off-list if you like.
I can understand your skeptical attitude. I suggest the following pages
from the site as fairly straightforward(*) examples of what the Church
is about:
http://www.mezziah.org/church/
http://www.mezziah.org/church/scripture/creed.stm

* From http://www.mezziah.org/church/scripture/on_being_mez.stm
"Everything we profess is completely serious.
Everything we profess is in utter jest.
Can you tell the difference?"
Have fun!
-Dana
P.S. Thanks for setting up the NWExtropians list. I look forward to yet
another forum for wonderful, intelligent discussion.
