Hi Starcraft,

The one truth that threads its way through all religions is love.  Love is something you give. It radiates from within you. A part of that giving love is allowing others to have the freedom to express and live their truth. Be with your parents with loving acceptance in your heart even if you don't agree with their beliefs.  They love you as you love them.

Kathy

Honoring your father and mother are part of many cultural and religious traditions. I think you can be respectful toward another's religion and/or practice, at your own discretion. Just like you can wear more than one hat, you can walk into more than one temple, with no disrespect. It all depends on your point of view.

Words of wisdom, Kathy.

I wish folks would spend less time finding reasons to criticize this religion or that one, and rise above the fray.

Once we do that, we'll realize that it's how we treat each other that matters, not which religion they or we belong to.

Be an example to others, not by advocating or criticizing a religion, but by showing them the love that is truly the core message of all religions.

Starcraft:

Whatever the case, if somebody rejects you because they don't like your spirituality it's not your fault.

Eventually, when it comes to the big picture, everything will work out. One of the key things that will enable things to work out is when more and more people listen to their heart, rather than believing according to what somebody else tells them to believe. Believe me when I say this.

Starcraft-

I lost my best friend when he joined the Jehovah Witnesses.  He was as close to me as a brother.

I could spend my time resenting the JWs for taking him away from me, but that's ultimately a losing path for everyone.

As Kathy says, we need to replace resentment with love.  That doesn't mean I should go around expressing admiration or affection for the JW religion, but neither does it mean I should consume myself with anger toward the group.

Hatred and resentment always find their way back to their source.  You really are hurting yourself more than the group if you choose that path.

It's tough, but it's really the only option that will bring you peace.

That is right on the money
No belief will get you anywhere.

hi i dont hate jehovahs wittnesses but to me they are the cause of a lot of problems,they talk about not having a blood tranfusion ,but i think they agree onhaving there own filtered blood transfusion.

if god wanted jehovah's witness to refuse blood transfusion,then how come god the divine spirit lets spirits that transcend to the earth plain to become doctors,nurses ,medical scientists etc ..

jahovah wittnesse are no way god's witnesse because god is not interested in there religion as religion means nothing in the spiritworld and if god wanted us all to die a natural death without the aid of medical science then doctors nurses etc...would not exist,spiritualism is the only religion what speaks the truth.

it tells it as it is ,we came from the spirit world to earths learning school to walk our seperate pathways,also god gave us all freewill to make our own desicions and choose what we like and what we dont like,god did not say that a catholic priest,church of england priest ,a jahovahs witness or whatever religion can rule our lives,spiritualism is freedom from all that so called preaching that preists, are so fond of doing up on the pulpit

i stopped going to the church where i live because the priest there is always ready at the end of his preaching to talk to the yuppies, who listen to the service then look at you like your something they just trod on,hypocrites hear the love of god but dont love the person who does not speak la de da and does not have the latest four by four car,so i left

i'm not putting other religions down because everyone has the right to beleive in what they want to,but it's sad that it causes so much pain and suffering to some,religion means nothing in the spiritworld,just use the freewill that god gave us,so we would never have to caged in by religion,we are all free spirits to live out our destinys and at the end of it we go back home to the spirit realms.

love and god bless  love juditha
