Re: How were you treated when changed your standar
I loved standards. Sometimes, I wish I could still live them but I wouldn't be being true to myself if I did. So, I have to get out of romantic mode and get into reality. But I still love what they stand for minus the legalism.

Re: How were you treated when changed your standar
Very sad Rhoni...people are so cruel...who is my friend is my friend. I feel everyone has a right to believe like they feel to believe...I deeply love my sisters and they sure do not look like me in dress anyway...ha...
I know people that dress like me that would destroy me in a moment if they could so.. their long dress is just a farce...

Dear DT,
The statement under yours is the reason good Holy Ghost filled individuals resent hypocrisy.

I was hurt at first as the habit is to kick a person when they are down in UPC, but now I just consider their ignorance and let it roll off my back like water off a duck's back.

It is a shame and a reproach that you were so ill treated. God has standards too that have very little to do with clothes and everything to do with love. Too bad those folks didn't measure up to those.

Thank you Bro. A,
Truth is - I have forgiven them. My sister reminds me that I used to be just like them...and she is correct *sigh* Thankfully I realized that I am not special and I have sinned just like everyone else. We are all levelled at the foot of the cross. Those who think they are more righteous than anyone else have a pride issue don't they?
