My questions, thoughts about manual and use of FAQ page for these questions rather than manual
These are general questions I have to ask you:
Do you mean for the manual questions to be in FAQ? My feeling, in terms of the web site proper, is that this is perhaps where they belong.
I think you mean these questions for something else. But if they are on the FAQ page, we can refer people to the page?
I would very much like the FAQ page to flow as one piece and not be broken up with links. Look at the first question below. It has a one sentence answer. Not worth a whole separate section. Pretty much the first several FAQ questions all answer the question, What are Heavenletters? Maybe all the questions do.
For me to scroll is much easier than to click and wait. It makes more sense to me, like the way Heaven News is without breaks. Maybe in just following along rather than clicking, people read more of what we want them to read too.
I also like the idea of sending people who may ask some of the questions to the FAQ page. I think it takes pressure off them. I also like that, this way, we are including answers to questions they might not yet have verbalized. I also feel that some questions have to be answered on more than one level, and FAQ allows that.
I do understand there are probably things you have to take into consideration that I know nothing about.
These were all real questions, and real answers. (I make here a few very minor changes in the answers. And I would change the order as they now appear in FAQ.)
I am trying to put my comments in color so it's clear.
Some of my comments below too:

• Am I joining something when I subscribe?
You join a Heavenweb of readers coming closer to God.
• I'd like to know the source/author of this material. Is it channeled material? Is any of it out of A Course in Miracles??? Where is it coming from??? What organization is behind it? (Include the whole question, not shortened.)
God is the Source. Or, if you prefer, a Higher Power, Intelligence, Consciousness, the Presence — whatever you like to call this Greatness.
David Hawkins, author of Power vs. Force, wrote us a letter and mentioned that A Course in Miracles “…correctly terms the source of its knowledge as The Voice for God i.e., a Heavenly Source.” He also added: “I note that you have already discerned that such is the case for ...Heaven Letters.”
Heaven Letters are not from A Course in Miracles, but they are inspired writings.
Heaven Letters are not channeled. No entity takes over or anything like that. God is behind Heaven Letters.
The Godwriting™ International Society of Heaven was founded in order to share God's new messages with everyone who wants to hear them. It is our understanding that the circulation of God’s words and love and wisdom will lift the vibration of the world.
• Is this a religion?
Heavenletters is an e-church. There are no religious observances unless you call reading Heavenletters an observance. Every religion is represented in the global readership of Heavenletters. Agnostics and atheists are also represented here and are welcome. Everyone is welcome to read God’s words and share them. We are delighted to have you subscribe and read Heaven Letters.
• How can I know that Heaven Letters come from God?
God answers that by saying: "Ask your heart."
* I am somewhat baffled by these Heaven Letters, and perhaps you can help me better understand them. What are they?
Heaven Letters are up-to-the-minute practical messages from God intended for all of us. God's messages are heard and written down in these contemporary times. This immediateness is one of the things that makes Heaven Letters precious
.
* I don't see God as out there. He is within me, so I don't understand how God can be talking as if He/She is separate from me.
This may be the most important question of all. Read what God says about this below. It's beautiful.
"I, Oneness, talk as though I am Another. But would you have Me be quiet? Would you silence Me. Would you have Me listen only to your individuated thoughts?
"Or would you listen to your Wholeness which is what you hear when I speak?
"Let it be Our game. Let Us play Our roles. Yes, it is all I anyway, and if you could grasp, it is all you all the same.
"But meanwhile We engage in conversation. We roll over Our thoughts.
"The time will come when you are fully aware of Our Oneness, and even then We will play."
* Is this something I have to study?
Not at all. Just read Heavenletters easily, let God's words wash over you, and God will do the rest.
• What is reading Heaven Letters supposed to do for me?
Open your heart. According to readers, you'll come to like yourself and the universe more. You'll feel more courageous, more honest, more creative and less complicated. You'll rely more on yourself and less on others, and you will come closer to God. [Add: See Reader Comments and read what people who are already reading Heavenletters say. Link]
• What are the Godwriting Workshops? Who gives them?
Godwriting Workshops are where you come when you would like to deepen your connection to God and write down God's words yourself. Everyone who comes to a workshop is charmed to discover how simple God makes it to write His words. At present, Gloria leads the workshops.
Here we can add questions about sponsoring workshops etc. Translating etc. And some of the other questions you ask, all necessary.
I will work more on this. Am I going in the right direction, Querido. Is FAQ the way we want to go?
Do you have books or printed newsletters available? - Your question was Where can I buy the printed book/e-book? I like yours better. The answer has to be updated. I will work on it.
There is also a question about scriptural references which might belong with What are Heavenletters except I wouldn't want it so close to the top where it is now.
Tell me what you think
