anyway, oddly enough too, is that the Jesus i know hates religion, control, conformity, and bandwagon joining. but i had to get free from the grips of my shame and guilt based thinking before this was possible. once i started getting 'whole'...my perceptions of God and life changed so radically. and yes, most christian people i know think ive fallen off the deep end. i cannot sit peacefully in church without an internal war inside me. right now my spirituality has meshed with my recovery or healing-they arent separate but dually working. i find todays christian churches operating in a very twisted fashion, and keeping nooses and binds on people. well, that is just a bit about me. try to look past the words chosen or the labels, cause that is not where the meaning of my post resides anyway.
