wherever you are lol......
Hope this finds all well :>
Just thought you'd be interested in this little 'aside'.
Rocky came up to me yesterday and began telling me about the Baha'i faith.....your assistance with his anthro field study aroused interest and curiousity :>
He was telling me about Baha'u'llah,(which I know little about...and other points.
In the years since leaving JW's he would have nothing short of an apoplectic fit at the mention of any belief/philosophy,the hurt/pain was that great.He never wanted to know or hear about anything.
So I see this as a breakthrough of sorts! That his anger is diminishing in enough that'll allow himself to explore something of this nature at all!
I told him,"isn't it nice to have the freedom to be curious,the freedom to explore all philosophies'?
I hoped taking anthropology would open him up as well,I think its also a factor -can't say enuff about education!
Maybe he'll try to understand my humanism as well,he never wanted to hear about it,and of course I never push anything on him,knowing it's his journey to find what he needs,((((((carm)))))))muchas gracias
