I'm reminded of another thing I kept getting: Don't ask for justice- you just might get it!!! The speaker, of course, had a nice comfortable life with no real problems (at least, none that were debilitating and really limiting or destructive) - and they were talking to someone who suffered injustice on a frequent and regular basis that was life and faith-wrecking.

I think one time I screamed at the speaker - "OK, WHAT WRONG HAVE I COMMITTED TO SUFFER THIS????"

They couldn't answer except to say "But all have sinned..."


I keep getting told by pente/fundie family members that when I speak of an "injustice" and I am pointing one "finger" at someone that there are "three" pointing back at me!
I am SICK, SICK, SICK, of these people and their silly slogans, "pat" answers for everything and their "know-it-all attitude". I can't have a normal conversation with these people without their bringing in their stupid, sick, silly belief system. They really believe that they have all the answers to everything and are superior. They actually told me that they are "royalty" because they are "saved". They seem to think they have a monopoly on God. They are constantly telling me how "blessed" they are which makes me nauseous.image
I'm venting - but I guess its because I need to. I am so frustrated with these people.

I have been told recently that if I don't quit smoking that I can't get a "perfected body" and go to heaven. This made me furious even though I don't understand exactly what they are talking about. Could somebody please explain this so called belief to me and what it means? It's getting to the point that I think I am going to have to stop all contact with these people. They are relentless in trying to push their belief system down my throat. These are the same family members who got me to go to the pente church which I got shunned from for smoking.
