Meetup.com deleted a new group that lasted about 4 days for people who want to learn the meaning of life, how to become immortal and learn the real true teachings of the creator, which these teachings are embedded in the universe, not a religious book.  Their message to me was...

"Meetup is not in a position to verify the claims you've posted in the context of your group."

As a result, this group has been closed and taken off of Meetup."

That's called censorship and a violation of free speech, considering the fact that they allow Christian groups to gather but not people who reject christianity for the truth, which is that the universe contains the teachings of the creator, the true word of god.  In my "context" which is the about section of the meetup group I wrote...

"The Teachings Of The Creator

To give you an understanding of what I mean by the teachings of the creator, I'll give you an example.  When you are born, you have no idea that you are a human being with arms, legs, eyes, and a beating heart.  You have no idea of the potential of the human body or how it can do what it does.  You have no comprehension at all as to how your parents can do what they do nor do you have an understand of the language that they speak.  As your human experience is as a newborn with your parents, so is your soul in relation to god.  How did you grow up as a physical child is identical as to how to grow up as a soul.  And so your physical body and it's memories that are written upon your heart, which is where your memories are at, are the true living teachings of the creator and they exist as pure, unaltered demonstrations of truth.  You just didn't know that.  If god, a being that created all things, is going to have children it is going to take an entire universe to teach them and grow up.  Once you recognize that your physical body's purpose exists as a teaching about your soul then you can begin to grasp what it means to become born again as a true child of the creator.  There are many teachings in the body and the family, in the planet (plants, water, atmosphere), space, stars, gravity, light, galaxies, etc... They are all teachings - demonstrations of absolute truth."

Verification?

Do you verify that a person can play a guitar if they want to get together with other guitar players?  Do you verify that a chef can cook what they cook to "allow" them to have a meetup group?  If someone tells a story do you have to have proof of that story before you can approve of their group?   Why does meetup.com have to verify anything?  Your bogus claim of not being to "verify" anything is a clear excuse to cover up discrimination but it's more believable that meetup.com is engaged in social engineering via censorship.  My group was on there for about four days.  No one complained. No one was hurt. Nothing bad happened and my beliefs and story is banned from meetup.com. 

All I did was tell the truth and want to do to good in the and had a way to do it and Meetup.com does not approve, apparently.  There was no violations of their community rules or their terms of service. 

So the ripoff?   I'm guilty of something without any evidence and that is just an excuse for censorship and discrimination. To hide that behind an abscure and non-discriptive explanation is an act of cowardice and so if you have a legitimate reason, do tell here.

Today I received an email from Meetup.com with a picture of Martin Luther King "honoring his legacy" (see picture).  I'm sure if Mr. King lived in the age of Meetup.com that Meetup.com would have banned his account for knowing how to change the world in a positive direction.
