This is from a edited message I sent to a member in this tribe.
Is'nt it funny when you are true to yourself and sleep with a girl you adore, but your not married, it's the worse kind of sin. I think being true to yourself is the best way to live! It's the only way you can ever really find love or true freindship and a career your going to love. That was my biggest thing I hated about the Adventist Church, they made people think it was wrong to question the Church or the World around you, I think If your going to join a religion and beleive something you should study the other relgions in the world and always question. Minds are made and should question the world around them. I still beleive in Jesus or some kind of God who made us, but would never join any church. I think there is much to learn in the world and don't want to be told by others I'm a sinner when I just want to be true to my mind and be sure why I beleive what I beileve. I really think it's stupid they would kick someone out who has been a member for years just because they hit a place in there life when they question things and found another girl they want to live with, but just isn't ready for the big jump of marriage. I don't think a church should judge, they should be a place you can go to find yourself.

Re: more Tony talk
Mon, March 7, 2005 - 12:30 AMI photographed a dedication at a church here in San Jose that I was very impressed with. I have no personal need to go back to church but if I did I think I'd go to a church like this one. I got there and the minister started by saying, "I see a lot of new faces here today so I should probably give you a little background on what our church believes. We have one belief that there is a benevolent creator or life force and that you don't have to do anything to gain it's approval."
