so what youre saying is that you got off to a good start but you have since backsliddin? i can understand that.
all ii can go by is what i am given. i do not rest on my laurels and i give no one else that privilege. i look at what is happening today, how you and i are acting NOW. because that is where we are at.
you squezed almost all the guile out of this post. good job. refreshing, in fact and pardon the pun.
you have always been the genuine one. you and tomi. but even so, you are clinging. how dare you look down on JWs and mormons and such. how are you better? the lord is gonna find them busy, at least.
im all about repentence, my dear. im wrong much of the time and d what i can to catch and correct it. maybe if you could relax a little bit you could do some repenting of your own.
