Just a quick < > for BSoM -- and run!
Muah back. Although now you're doing homework.
I 've gotta say that one of the things I've enjoyed most over the years of participating on this board is the diversity of direction that various ex-Dubs have taken. It's a wonderful potpourri of ideas, beliefs, lifestyles. What is most important, in my not so humble opinion, is AUTHENTICITY. I don't care for labels. I care that people are comfortable in whatever self-realization about themselves they've come to, or that they're working on it. I say live and let live as long as the works promoted don't seek to impose beliefs on others or to hurt others with lawless, unkind acts.
1) It is truly a wonderfuly potpurri of ideas and beliefs and lifestyles. Isn't that what leaving the JW's is about? Yet So often on this board I talk to people privately and they are downright afraid of sharing some of the newfound beliefs for fear of being taunted by others. Isn't that what we were locked into in the witnesses?
2) I don't like labels either. Even for myself, I have really hesitated in wanting to say I'm pagan, or agnostic or anything. I'm learning. I'm living each day and absorbing a new viewpoint. I don't want to lock myself into anything. I love some of you so much, for the simple fact that You are the ones who have taught me that life is learning and never say never. When I label myself or others, it's in a way locking us in to a group. Rather then just being the beautiful individuals we were born to be, regardless of where our personal philosophies would take us.
3) I think you're right about the works. Hm, we could start a whole new thread on the concept of good and evil. Now That would be an intersting thread.
LOVE is still the answer. Always.
Ok well you said it....
