Hey Ravyn:
From one witch to another, follow the rede to the best of your abilities and to hell with the rest of them. If you in your heart are doing no harm, do it baby!!
I know its hard sometimes, although I was not raised by JW's my ex's family was JW and they are not the nicest people in the world, for many reasons, not necessary to talk about right here or now.
I do have family though that are devout christians, be they anglican, or born again and I have an uncle who is an evangelical baptist minister. They all think I am crazy for my religion, my beliefs and the way I raise my kids to believe what I do.
I just try to keep in mind that they should not influence how I believe or live my life so long as I am not harming myself, my kids or the people that I love.
Any time you wanna chat, just say hi, us pagans need to stick together at times,
I have a pin for my coat that I don't wear anymore, goes like this "Last time we mixed politics and religion, someone got burned at the stake"
No reason it can't be them this time, not us.
take care
Neverthere
