JadedJade, I’m with you! AlwaysThere, I appreciate your respecting our courage in coming out. It’s not easy. I wish you all were speaking with your real names, too. Speaking as yourself creates accountability and usually brings out the best in us. We are community here. Cleanup Eugene and all, please understand that our message is only that COMPASSION is what’s important in a family when things don’t go as planned. Compassion to keep loving each other unconditionally, much as Jesus and other wise souls taught. That’s the only message we hope to bring in coming out in the RG.

AlwaysThere, I agree that we all must judge and evaluate throughout our days to manage, but I think what Jesus meant was that unless someone was not safe, we are to just love and allow God to be the judge beyond that. I defend and support your right to your own opinion and me to mine. I also want my family to be safe. My children appear to be thriving and well adjusted, so I don’t see the problem.
