(((((Heather))))) I really understand your frustration -- I've been through their so-called "love" with my husband, my children, my dad, and myself, which is a major reason why I haven't gone to a meeting in a year and don't intend to go back. Hang in there! How old are your children? Please make sure they know that choice of religion will eventually be THEIR decision, not yours, your husband's, or the organization's. And welcome!!!
Check out Matthew 12:1-12. Read it until you get the meaning there. It will show you that God's laws are for our benefit...yes.....BUT if someone is to be hurt or die then it is not sacrifice but mercy that rules. The wt is like the pharicees. Love to you. dj
