Wow. Ok, thanks for answering me, at least.

{pretty dumbfounded here, klass)

For now I do. Not for myself. For my immediate family who is still very much in. For me, though, this may all change soon. I can't divulge details yet, but an exit plan is forming. I cannot fade from this religion, so my exit will be abrupt when it happens. I just don't quite know how to sit my wife down and explain things. It's the biggest struggle I'm having at the moment... how to break the news.


I understand, Leaving. It was a reminder, and I think because sometimes we can get so bogged down in what the world expects of us, what loved ones expect/demands of us, and we can sometimes forget, that according to Christ, we don't have to be in that organization at all. I know that this has happened to me, then someone has said something simple to me... 'you know you can ask Christ'... and I feel like 'face-palming' myself for losing sight of that.


My hopes and prayers are with you on your exit. As for how to explain to your wife, Leaving, ask Christ to give you the words, to help you see the 'opportunity' and then take it. Put it in His hands, and let Him take the reins.


Peace to you and to your loved ones, as Christ gives peace,
your sister and servant, and a fellow slave of Christ,
tammy

And while you're asking him to give you the words, dear LQ (mornin ' and peace to you and to you, too, dear tec!)... why not just go on and ask him to open HER heart... and ears... and let HER read and hear for HERSELF... what YOU have been granted to? I mean, love would want that, right?

I'm sure you've already done that so nothing left but to put faith in him that HE wants that, too... because JAH... IS love... and he is the IMAGE... and very representation of JAH... and so it WILL occur. If that is your HOPE.

Peace to you ALL!

YSSFS of Christ,

Shellamar
