Hi,
I'm so sorry to hear what wanderlust has gone thru and now I can just imagine why is was telling everything as he did. I didnt want to confront anyone with something again that was so brutal. I do feel very sorry for your loss pal and I would certainly also smash my fist onto someones head if he is so ignorant. I didnt want to hurt you!!!!!
I dont know what to say
One argument was that I just want to have something I cannot have.... Well it is certainly NOT a game for me either. I told her I would quit my job over here to get a job in her country, sell all my things over here and move...I already had some talks and invitations and got a job offered in her branch. My new job will be much less paid and I have worse conditions. And the manager over there just sent me the papers to sign. I will also give up a house I built 10 years ago and loose a lot of money there too, Although I then didnt know how big this would get it was NEVER a game from the very start.
@eyes open
I do study the bible over here with two of JW. But they walk me thru that little book they always use it seems. All questions I ask there will be answered with, we will come to that point later...
With my young lady and a lady she is (when I mentioned the sex part I was only referring to touching her breast) I talk about every book I like and revelation is one book that is very interesting to me. See I first "learned" about that thru the old movie called OMEN. That was a long time ago and I did (although I was never religious) read the whole bible a few times already, first when I was around 9 years old. After that movie I read the revelation once or twice and still have many questions. See I think I might have been looking for some religion myself all my life and therefor studied quite some religions already, went to many churches and attended many different conventions. So I think I have an open mind and she knows that from me. I always try to look for myself what's wrong and what is not. Maybe some day I will find one that suits me (if that is a correct saying). But I've gone astray, now. I Only want to express that i can understand some need if I may call it so for religion and therefor was curious from the very start what she has to say about it. While we were more and more emotionally I felt that I would trust her interpretation more than that of an elder who will not really answer my questions if they seem inappropriate... Here I knew that she will explain everything thru her eyes to me. And will not condemn my questions or try to avoid some aspects. Thru that trust that we already shared I learned a lot. Later on she said, it would be best if I still have "normal" bible lessons but she will always try to explain things to me that I do not understand.
BUT I dont know what parts of their religion I should start arguing first, it must be something that is obvious and can easily be proven wrong and bad. Is there a list of misinterpretions and more really bad things. i'm thinking about the blood thing that doesnt apply to Bulgaria and some poitical interactions and so on... But I need the correct context, too
thanks a lot all of you- I will answer more tommorrow
