Okay, back to the Jesus thing. I had requested awhile back to someone if I could participate in a group of spiritual people. They read the bible, discuss, etc. I requested it because I am new to the bible belt. I wanted to see what I was getting myself into. I wanted to read the bible with other people and discuss. Well, unfortunately, there was no room in the Inn, so I was turned away. I again, asked again to be a part of this group and again I was told there was not enough room. I was also told that it's an "intense" group of people. This was mentioned several times. Now, just because I do not hold a masters degree in theology does not mean I am not a spiritual person. It does not mean that I am not a "Christian" because that term does not mean what it used to 1000 years ago.
Anyway, I find out that another lady was invited into this group. To me it's not that " I wasn't invited to your birthday party, my feelings are hurt". It's that I am insulted. I can't imagine what qualifies this person to be a part of this group ? I am again reminded of the "X" and wonder what judging people and being Christlike have in common ? Just because I don't openly pray at public restaurants and am not a spiritual outgoing person ? Maybe 10 years from now I will be grateful that I wasn't invited. What would Jesus do ? Would Jesus turn people away ? I mean especially someone as "broken" as I am ? Could it possibly be my membership in a "cult".
The bible belt in some parts....ain't looking good to me. I miss California :(

I joined a Bible study group in college, but was told not to come after all when they found out I was a Mormon.
