<< < (8/9) > >>

jerry:
amen jenny I like this beginning post about aliens,the world only confirms us a Gods special people when they reject us,thank God!!!! makes me want to sing a little gospel tune.............Jerry

jenny06:
A real test comes when you are alien among your own family and are persecuted by those who say they love you.  ???  It still boggles my mind.  In my case, it is my husband's family and they are very vocal about disliking me (to him, behind my back). They think I took them drew him away from Catholocism.  The have not practiced Catholocism for years themselves.  They really did not like the issue I had with my sister in-law over her buying our kids Harry Potter books.  They dislike that we no longer celebrate the resurrection with the bunny and the day of the dead by dressing up the kids and dragging them around to strangers' homes.  On one hand, I am sad for my husband, but on the other, I am at peace.  Does that make sense?

jerry:
I learned a lesson a long time ago,never bring up religous doctrin other that what you will agree on with someone you know will not listen,thats kind of like pouring fuel on a fire to put it out,If someone gave me a harry potter book knowing I dissagreed with its content and doing it out of a mean spirit,I would just smile really big and say that was so nice of you to think of my daughter like that,your such a nice person,nice to know we are so close,then when I got home I would through it in the trash.I think the best advise is to always be nice no matter what(heep coals of fire on thier face)thats what Jesus said to do, unless your struck by a heavy object then all bets are off......LOL  ..Jerry

jenny06:
All bets are off? ;D We took the kids to the place where she bought them and they exchanged them for what they wanted, but we never told her.

I did try to avoid conflicting discussions and I tried to not put in my five cents when she brought up things for which I had a conflicting opinion. I always gritted my teeth when she brought up horoscopes and showed off her "dream catcher." I would never have known that she and her mother had a problem with me but for my husband sharing it with me. If I had known back then, when we still spoke, that she was offering to loan my husband a dvd from her collection of porn, all bets would have been off! He stayed at her house when he first took the job he has now, which is a couple hours from where we lived at the time. Convenience is not always the best move.

It has never come easy for me to hold my tongue. I have been a very outspoken person since I was young. I guess I would have to say that God has done a lot of work on me in this area.

Hey I thought I was the only one with a weird family,My sister is into all that creepy stuff,she was so into it it destroyed out relationship,I stoped going to see her and she never see's me either and Im fine with it,talk about hatefilled those newagers are pretty far from reality,she use to screem at me when I would dissagree with her so I stoped saying anythings to he coments like, why do you waste your time with the God of the bible? I almost fliped out when she said that,I finaly told her its best we dont talk about those kinds of things,now its best if we dont talk,God will have to straighten her out,God bless you Jenny I know how tuff those things can be.God bless you and your family...................Jerry
