Does it still gross you out, so to speak?

    I remember back in the day my mother, along with all her "friends," being completely disgusted and voicing said disgust, over what she felt were hypocritical people and Jesus "lovers" such as TV evangelists, people who could do nothing but talk about Jesus, people who were all about their version of Christianity, especially the ones encountered in service that tried to instruct her versus listening to "the truth" she was "sharing" with them. Now, she had these opinions obviously because she was a devout JW, and ESPECIALLY at this time of year she was very vocal. Good god, it was pretty much 6 weeks of loathing coming out of her mouth at the end of every year.

    Do you find yourself, as an adult, with the same irriations but just for different reasons? I personally, while respecting everyones beliefs, sometimes struggle to keep my patience with those...............particular people whose entire life revolves around say the events described in the gospels.

    Does anyone else ever feel like that? Again, I respect everyone's beliefs. But man....sometimes I just wanna yell, "OK! ENOUGH...really. We GET it."

    Part of me laughs because in a way it's pretty ironic. And part of me just wants to shake my head hard enough so it will fall off

    The TV during the holidays? Rent a movie. The music? Put on a CD you like. The religion? Ignore it. Don't take it so hard its all noise. W.Once
