    If you really don't want to feel guilty and worried anymore, If you haven't already, stop believing in some Guy in the stars that can see everything you do and can read your mind.

    You will be amazed of the freedom you will feel, I know it is tabo to talk about. It took me almost 2years to grasp the fact that maybe there is no God,

    Most people watch what they say when it comes to is there or is there not, Just in case he may be watching. ( case and point )

    Seeing is believing , Freedom is a decision away.

    ps .Could somebody tell me where the hell spell check is .

    Hello Free!

    I'm pretty much in a pendulum state right now... sometimes I feel there is a God, and other times I'm not so sure. I've tried to become more philosophical and be open to all possibilities. I think I'm leaning more towards the agnostic side. No one can really prove/disprove the existence of a God (or several of them if that's your thing!) so I think I shall sit on the fences for now

    I suppose as time goes by, I'll be able to find my own path of spiritual enlightenment!

    I haven't spotted anything like spell check for far, but if I do, I'll make sure to give you a shout

    MisFitMel - it's so awesom to find a "place" where the people totally get where you're coming from and the reasons for it - out there (meaning people who don't really know anything about the witness) you can't find anyone that can relate.

    Hey LouBelle!

    I'm glad I found this place and I hear what you're saying! I know a lot of non-witness friends and even my boyfriend are sympathetic but I know they can't really 'grasp' what it really feels like and what going through it is all about...

    It's comforting to know some 'kindred' souls... even just typing all this out makes me feel a little better!

    Welcome Mel - love the name!

    I see some similarities in our stories. I never did get baptized but did totally get the "You're 20 and still not baptized?!" crap from people. Not may parents thankfully tho - so I guess that's why I escaped being dunked.

    Glad you found the place - and I hope you enjoy your time here.
