  yes I was raised in the organization.

  my family was very theocratic (mom and dad ex missionaries) but not in the looking through my music, forbidding me from reading books type way.

  at this point i guess i'm agnostic. i'm still clinging to my belief in some God but not the one described in the bible.

  3- Where do you stand on religion now? Christian, pagan, atheist/agnostic, undecided...Very Non-Christian. Athiest/Agnostic, at least from the Judeo/Chiristian perspective of "God", but investigating some eastern points of view (Taoism, Chi, Yin Yang, meditation, some Buddhist overtones)

  Are considering atheist/agnostic a single category?
  
  I think they should be separate. And it seems that more people fit the agnostic category.

  Dear Mouthy: I can't speak for others, but I for one, do not take offense. This board is for everyone.

  I would never consider your faith to be of the "in your face" class, though I can't say the same for some.

  You believe what you believe and you do what you can to help others. Nothing wrong with that.

  As for Christmas, we celebrated in a secular way. Exchanged gifts and spent the day together yeasterday. A family day. We wish everyone "happy holidays" and mean it.

  We are done with the "black or white", "right or wrong" mentality of Jehovah's Witnesses.
