Michelle, You are even now finding your path and growing. I used to be a born again Christian Lutheran minister. Don't you think that I had to boldly face some "alternative viewpoints" and go through what difficulties I had to be able to grow? I lost much of my family and friends when I quit the church. I lost the possibility of $60,000 a year. I lost my kids because they listened to outside influences that devided us. I was a good preacher and quite articulate as you know but if I would have stayed I would have become the charlatan. People just shook their heads at me and did not understand. I walked outside of the box and found ME. I kept on going because my vision was and still is to help people on the planet just like I was helped. I have some solid gold ancestors that were my support, still are. My desire is that we can all help each other like we did on the farm when I was young. If we were sick or hospitilized our neighbors would come and do our chores first. If mom or my aunt was sick the neighbor ladies would come and do cooking for us first and then go home and take care of their own families. Some of you out there remember those days! Out of date? Gone forever? Guess again! Sounds stupid? Then I am the stupidest! The Christian is within if we wish it to be,the psychic is within if we wish that to be and so is the charlatan if we wish it to be.
