Ronaldo José Parpinelli:

“The feedback we receive is great. Every day we feel more motivated to continue
this work”
 

Our colleague Ronaldo relates his experience of divulging Spiritism through the internet for the last nine years. According to his view, it reaches a higher number of people and expands
the teachings horizons
 
 

Ronaldo Parpinelli (picture), our week’s interviewee, was born and still lives in Pedreira, São Paulo’s countryside. he graduated in Mathematics and is currently studying Psychology. Ronaldo comes from a spiritist family and has been dedicating a lot of his time to disclosing Spiritism through internet websites. This is an interesting experience that he is sharing with our readers in this interview.  

O Consolador: Since when has the site being online? How did the idea of disclosing spiritist ideas came up?
 

Since 2000 we have been working on it. I thought at the time that since everything was heading online, it would be great to have a tool to disclose Spiritism. This could hit people who sympathise with our cause, but might be scared of going to the Spiritist centres.

O Consolador: What is available through this site?

We have texts, biographies, study materials, documents for downloads, news, etc.

O Consolador:  How many collaborators do you have and where are the information resources from?

We have a lot of people sending us material. We take information from books but also from the internet. Some writers send us their articles to be included online.

O Consolador: Have you been measuring the number of hits every month? E quais as repercussões com o retorno dos visitantes?

We receive 40 000 hits, and receive aproximatelly 120 000 e-mails monthly. We send messages to all readers who are registered in our site. 

O Consolador: What would you consider to be the biggest selling point of the site, in terms of spiritist disclosure?

Spiritist Messages. Our database has more than 3.500 texts for immediate access, in a diverse variety of subjects.

O Consolador: The site must receive many questions and search for help against challenges and personal issues. What is the most frequent type of help readers ask for? What is the profile of those who look for help?

Many people write asking for messages from their desincarnated relatives. They also present personal issues related to mediumship and self-help.

O Consolador: What new functionalities are going to be available on the site in the future?

A  Wiki Spirit, which is where people can share their data online. For example, we could have an article that would be constructed and shared amongst everyone who is online. It would be something that could remind us of Wikipedia.

O Consolador: Can you please explain what is CONEC (Congresso de Espiritismo do Circuito das Águas) and what is the link it has with the site?

The spiritist centre Caminhos de Luz is linked to Use Intermunicipal Circuito das Águas. Their members participate on the elaboration of CONEC, which is a spiritist congress that has more than 10 mil users signed up for it.

O Consolador: Can we find all articles published online on the site?

Yes, you can. You can see it on the front page of the site.

O Consolador: What is the most rewarding fact you would like to tell us, in regards of your experience?

The feedback we receive is great. Every day we feel more motivated to continue this work.

O Consolador: Can you please indicate institutions and sites you are linked with, in regards of the disclosure of Spiritism through the internet?

Use Intermunicipal Circuito das Águas and the spiritist centre Caminhos de Luz, with the  sites www.caminhosluz.com.br e www.usecircuitodasaguas.com.br.
