In need of some help.

I am new to this site. I work as a night auditor and have used my time at work and home to scour through the fourms. The one thing that I have yet to run accross is what would the THC-Ministry be "classified" as a religion? This has been bugging me since I started looking, and printing all the legal things that would help with any court case that should arise. I would like to open my own Charter here in Virginia, and am trying to build up a legal case so that if the need ever arises I am ready to help defend any practitioner, also myself, of this religion here in VA.

Any help

would be greatly appreciated on this and also on how to open my own charter too.

Anywho I have to get some work done so that I can get home to start making a holy peacepipe

the old fashiend way. Blessing around and good smoking.

The THC-Ministry is just that a Ministry. Its non-denominational which means we don't discriminate. You can be a Buddhist, Muslim, Christian or a Rastafarian. Roger has a 1-2-3 sanctuary kit which provide some paper work for you. Its a good start to begin your research. Surf around for a while and you find more info and such on this site.

So since I grew up learning some of the teachings of an old Indian shaman and I am recieving a religious title of Shaman from the ULC that would be the religion that I would use if questioned?

Please excuse me for questioning the official religious side of the ministry. I am new here and this is still kinda overwhelming and all. But I believe that a good defense to any court case should be made before hand so that if the need arises I can shut it down at the preliminary hearing.

Also was not sure if I should have made a different thread about opening up my own charter thought that I could smoke two jpint

s at once with the same mouth. Laughing

Blessings all around and happy smoking

The very roots of our religion is indeed shamanism.

We do welcome people from all other religions but THC Ministry is not affiliated with any of those religions.

Hey mate, I'm also a Shaman and a member of the THC-Ministry, in VA, and I wrote a book on Shamanism entitled "Awakening: Theory and Practice for the Aspiring Shaman."
