The Passion of the Christ movie
by Steve Lowry inwell, i just saw the movie yesterday and i'll tell ya something.
considering the reviews about how moving this movie had been for so many people, i secretly was hoping that seeing this movie might help me with my current state of disbelief and apathy about the person of jesus.
but sadly it had only the opposite effect.

Anyone see Passion of the Christ yet?
by astridkittie ini went to see it thursday... and i must say... this movie had me sobbing from grief and shock.
it really opened my eyes to what jc went through.
you know, you always hear about him being beat 68 times with a cat of nine tails but then you look at the picture of a man with some criss crosses on his back and it just doesn't click with you that 68 times should be alot worse than that picture... when i came home after that, it was all i could do to restrain myself from burning every picture of him like that in every publication in my house, and i wouldn't have restrained myself if those publications were mine, but they're all my dub grandmother's, and i'm sure i would've been accused of having a demon in me if i had, lol.

Should I be over it by now?
by astridkittie ini was 16 when i disassociated myself from the jws after growing up in it, and i'm 20 now and still having issues with breaking the thought process i was brought up with.
i long ago realized the doctrine was wrong in the jws, but somehow i still find myself having issues with guilt whenever i stop to feel or act or think a way that's my own and not what someone else tells me i should feel/act/think.
other times i feel completely lost because i don't know how i'm supposed to feel or act or think at the moment and i know that's not the way i should be thinking, that there isn't a particular way i'm supposed to be inside, but... i still have the paranoia and the gut feeling that i'm doing wrong by being myself, so to speak.
