[QUOTE="Star*, post: 472134, member: 4964"] Wow - I can hear the echo.......echooooo echo......lol. How to talk about the you-know without talking about you know. First - I guess like a lot of folks I have a foot in the ship that says - I don't trust men (people in general) not men per se. I have my own thoughts, ideas, and like you have made my peace with ....(insert what I have made my peace with) Secondly - As far as how you were raised? Well - my thoughts on that are - Anywhere two people have a conversation about YOU know WHO.....then it's actually considered church. So....whether you are kneeling, or lighting candles, praying 5 times a day with a compass, lighting the menorah, chanting, reading from what book - it's all very "human" condition. I'm not trying to forget or exlude any religion or faith. What's in YOUR heart about your relationship is what's important as it pertains to your faith. This is actually why I think most people are so turned off from organized you know and stay out of the boat of hypocritical saililng. Either that or they feel they themselves can't live Monday thru Saturday being one way - go to the YOU KNOW on Either Saturday or Sunday - wash it all away with singing and praying and be OKAY for the rest of the week to mess up. I say - if you need your batteries charged - GO. If you are able to sustain your voltage on a single charge or have a home charger? Go with that. As far as he has to have you being invited to HIS place of worship - well----I would suggest if that's where HE is comfortable? Let him go.
