I have lost all faith in religion, but I am aspiritual being having a physical experience. I love the teacher where my kids go to school, but am concerned about the religious teachings. They are happy and safe in this school, but I must protect my kids from emotional/mental abuse as well as physical violence......they will probbaly go to public school next year. I am totally for the public school system, and maybe I need to take this as a sign to get in there and help the public school system. This church school my kids go to is where my brother and I, and even my mom went as agirl. I am very concerned about the indoctrination that can occur, it took me years to work through it. The teacher himself is very open and understanding, and listens to my views. I have had many talks with him, but the part about going to my son and saying I don't think your mom will let you get baptized, really bothered me...I have nothing against baptism, it is symbolic, and harmless, but then they put your name in a book and a mere men can ex-communicate you from the "church" if he feels you "too sinful" I am so against this, but nanyways I am getting of topic, sorry Lilya, for getting away from the intent of the post.....I do not understand rude, holier than thou people at all, All we can do is hold our head high and know we are just fine how we are, but boy can some people latch on and not leave us be....to be in a store and confronted...all in the name of "just wanting to help' Hogwash, this woman is a professional instigator with no desire to confront her own emotional needs so she feeds like a vulture off of trying to make others feel bad.....
Cecilia...I was thinking that same thing, what you feelin bad about pastor??? I just told him I try not to judge and you could see him bristle...like hey! that's my job, I am a pastor!!...could've fooled me!! LOL.....I try not to let it get to me, but sometimes zi get pretty outraged,
Hope you all have a wonderful day. I am going to call and check on my dad. The weather is getting quite bad out, and I don't have the money for a taxi today so will talk on the phone and see how he is...
Love you all!!!!!!!!!!!***hugs***
