Need help...I am so confused....(this will probably be rambling)
by stephaniesays ini started going to church.
i am going to a baptist church just because they have a great youth program at this one, and my daughter (12) has really gotten into it, which i think is a positive thing.
i have never really taught her anything about religion because i never knew what i believed, and i am having to confront now, what exactly it is that i do believe.

Got back from my sister's wedding on Monday (long)
by stephaniesays ini had previously posted about my jw parents making my sister miserable over marrying a catholic...well, the wedding was on the 27th.
my sister and her fiancee (now husband) went out of their way to make my ms stepfather and pioneer mother happy.
he gave up a catholic wedding, they gave up a church wedding, they wrote their own vows and worked it to where the man performing the ceremony didn't do the prayer but my sisters husband did (so that he could pray "through" jesus).

Never ceases to amaze me...
by stephaniesays inmy sister is getting married on july 27th.
she is marrying a catholic, after being raised a witness, but she has been living with him for over a year, so she has not been approved of by my parents for a while.
as the black sheep of the family myself, i have helped her to get over the needing to please the parents thing and see that she will never be able to.

New here...(my story and a request for help)
by stephaniesays ini was raised in the organization.
my stepfather was a ministerial servant but was removed when i was 14, due to family problems, which he blamed on me (he was abusive, physically, and was told that if he cannot control his family, he could not be an example to the congregation).
i became pregnant at 15 and have not really lived around my family since then.
