You guys have probably already heard this but for the LDS faith (Mormons) go to Mormon.org first. From the Church, accurate information.

Well, since no one has mentioned this one yet:

Falun Dafa - it's a Buddhist school cultivation practice.

Please Add Scientology to your list.
Thought I don't believe it is a true religion, but rather a cult, It'd be nice to see BOTH Scientology's website, AND xenu.net on your list.
To many people I feel don't know about this debate, and hell, put in Operation Chanology Guild in their too.

Gotcha. I'm sick of seeing these "Can someone give me a link to a site on x" threads. Not only are they violating the blatantly clear annoucement, but they're repetitive and aren't discussions.

So we're going to try and fix this. Now you may ask "How nora? How will we fix this?" Well pull up a chair and listen to auntie nora.

We're going to make a _non-gaia_ link list. This sticky will be a place for us to post resources to all sorts of different websites relating to religious matters, so that people don't have to make threads asking for them (although they probably will anyway).

So this is how it works. You post links here. I go check out those links, and if the site seems sound (by sound I mean as accurate to the spirit of the subject it professes to discuss as I can determine, not unbiased or impartial!) I will post it here for everyone else who comes here to find and click on and go to.

Voila.

[washu_2004]

Here is a link to another pagan forum I occasionally visit.

http://www.mind-n-magick.com

There are a few pagans there who are the moderators and they seem pretty knowledgeable and what they say hasn't contradicted what I have heard elsewhere.
But remember it is a web forum so there are no guarantees about the quality of the information there.
