Thankyou layinglow, crusoe and joelybear and chikie my sister,

I'm still stuck knowing it's jehovah that I believe in, or more precise the God of the bible, so if I break it down into a simple question? how can I find a religion that expressies that in me? your point are cool crusoe but I'm not ready to abandon that yet.

I certainly haven't ever focussed on armegaddon my thoughts are for the reality of living with the here and now in religion.

Hi Reniaa

OK I am sorry I accused you of trolling. I don't know if you know but someone frequented this forum for 2 years and told us that his wife had cancer....and this guy took sympathy and money from people....then we discovered that he didn't even have a wife! So I admit to being a bit overly suspicious.

As to whether I'm Christian or Atheist - well guess what? I'm neither. There are many other categories for someone to fall into. LOL

I'm Neopagan (trained in Wicca but I don't consider myself Wiccan anymore) and my partner is a Druid.

A Neopagan religion is a modern faith which has been recently reconstructed from beliefs, deities, symbols, practices and other elements of an ancient religion. For example, the Druidic religion is based on the faith and practices of the ancient Celtic professional class; followers of Asatru adhere to the ancient, pre-Christian Norse religion; Wiccans also trace their roots back to the pre-Celtic era in Europe. Other Neo-pagans follow Hellenismos (ancient Greek religion), Religio Romana (ancient Roman religion), Kemetism (ancient Egyptian religion) and other traditions.

Most Neo-Pagan traditions have many of the following factors in common:
their faith was almost or completely wiped out in the past and has since been reconstructed from ancient information sources.
a duotheistic or polytheistic belief system (they recognize a Goddess and God, and/or believe in many deities).
many followers are solitary practitioners.
others are involved in small groups, which various traditions call circles, covens, garths, groves, hearths, kindreds, etc.
they celebrate four main seasonal days of celebrations each year, associated with the equinoxes and solstices .
they also celebrate four additional days, each between a solstice and equinox.
they prefer to conduct their religious rituals outdoors where practical.
many do not practice their religion publicly because of the danger of abuse from very devout but misinformed Christians who have associated them with an evil and non-existent form of Satanism.
they have a minimal or no hierarchical structure.
they have a concern for the environment.
They feel close to nature and its cycles.
They follow a behavioral code that requires them to avoid hurting themselves or others.

I have to say honestly I've never heard of it, although I have heard of wiccans, I'll say this for this forum there is a lot of harmony between the interfaiths etc brought together by a common cause I suppose.

I did once meet someone who had a faith based on dolphins which has got to be one of the obscurest you'll find :)

Sirona it is some sort of tech error, I have known about this site for 7 years and have PM'd simon, because i am worried i may get banned, I have been on and off for 7 years usually every year around march, I was baptised march 1996, this forum has helped me in my resolve since i have left 2000. i can assure you I live in devon and my sister lives near hull, 300 miles away, i dont know why it came up with the same ip. I can pm you with our phone numbers and you can call us, youll see we are dfferent. Im sure simon is looking into it.

I have to leave for work - but I hope you actually think about that. Dig in - really study the beliefs and practices of Jw's WITH AN OPEN MIND - you are at one of those proverbial crossroads.
Jeff

and you said (at 7.40 AM this morning)

Thank you jeff, yeah work calls me too!

Now when ask why you are working when you are nearly giving birth, you say:

Possibly lol i'm 1 and half weeks away from birth and I'm sorry about the confusion over work, with my job I don't get maternity leave in a way, I look after my severely disabled son and have set outtings and suchlike things, that I have to do with him to keep him exercised, these are set up by care services so no rest for the erm wicked even when very very pregnant.

Again, just an observation but I wouldn't imagine calling looking after your son "work".

But who am I to question?
