Listed below are some of the amazing mysteries we currently know about. But we encourage you to submit new and wonderful findings that you may have uncovered in your travels and service. This will only benefit many others with new knowledge and encouragement:


Gathering DooRWAYS:
Amongst the other mysteries that deserve investigation is the "Gathering Doorways".
Marble Arch
These were thought to be an early way to gather saints to accomplish "good works". The doorways offered a quick way to qualify potential "saints" in areas where their population density was low. An inital protype of this classic attractant tool may have been erected in 1828 in Great Britain.

This structure was originally fitted with decorative gates that made it much more like a ture doorway. However, while being relocated later in the century these gates where damaged and not reinstalled. So today it may not have the attractive properties it possessed when first erected. This also may explain why current gatherings here have a greater diversity of types and are not just only "saints or potential saints".

One aspect that does affiim the original intent as a "Gathering Doorway" is that today the locations' name is "Speakers Corner". We know for a fact that any unofficial or official gathering of 'saints" involves great amounts of sound. In fact, if you want to affrim the validity of a suspected "Gathering Doorway" just listen.....You'll know!

An other example of this form of an early "Gathering Doorway" is though to be found in Paris. Also there are natural forms of these doorways in found in southern Utah. This may explain the the areas attaction to early migrations of "saints" to this territory.

We believe that today that doorways being built are of much smaller sizes. This may be puerly economic (you can build many small ones for the cost of 1 big one). To test this theory we intend to select a remote location in a desert or deep forest and build "Gathering Doorways" of various sizes and see which has the greater attractant power. And if there is a cost effectiness in volume gathering as oposed to singular larger gatherings.

This will be a very complex and expensive test, because it will require keeping the locations secret from all registered or non-registered saints. Today, speedy electronic communications (cell phones, the web, etc) may make a contolled test impossible.

Some other suggested areas of investigation in addtion to Size are: Shape, Color, Materials of Construction, Presence (or non-presence) of Doors, Altitude of Installation and Compass Orientation. We are sure that there are many other aspects in the discipline of "Gathering Doorways" that offer good possibilites for professional or amature investigation.

IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL FIELD RESEARCH DATA:
Don M______, a know qualified saint, has just provided data about a repeated observed phenomena associated with the "Gathering Doorways". (Aug 8, 2000)

On a regular weekly observed cycle, in addition to gathering abilities of these objects, there appears to be a temporary loss of memory when individuals are in proximity to the portals. The typical pattern of events is:

1) Verbal instructions from group leaders to "Promptly vacate" the room, facility, etc.
2) A immediate rush by attendees toward the "Gathering Doorways" to comply with the request.
3) Then, when in the presence of the doorway, an immediate forgetfulness of the leaderships instruction to vacate.
4) Followed by a substantial increase in the decibel level of the room (particularly in the area of the Doorways).
5) Random movement, bumping, and general reorientation of the attendees with eventual exiting from the area of the Doorway. (this may take up to several minutes with some unfortunates never able to overcome the Doorways influence)

When surveyed following the event, the effected ones remember distinctly the leaderships request to "Promptly vacate" and their desire to rush to comply.. Then amazingly, they can not remember anything that happened until they have been moved out of the "Doorways" strange sphere of influence through the random bumping and movement. It is as though there is a loss of "time and space" orientation that has happened.

Our thanks to Don M_________ for his precise and detailed observations.


Possible Other Related Phenomenon:
Many other things occur that have a supected relationship to the short and long term infulence of the "Gathering Doorways" and are all worothy of investigation. Just a few of these are:
