I've known a lot of pagans in my time. I've been into the Qabbalah for years. Something that always kind of irked me was that so many people like to give themselves these grandiose titles like "High Priestess", when all they really are is leader of a little esoteric chess club.
I knew someone once who claimed to be a Wiccan 'High Pristess', yet she also went on about being a devout Satanist, too. She turned out to be a really nasty piece of work who took pleasure in stirring up trouble between people.
That was a real wake-up call for me about being very cautious about taking these glamorous, self-assigned titles seriously.
And BTW I declare myself King of my street...

I wish you all the best in your goal Light. I have every faith you will achieve this important stage in your spiritual pursuits. Youââ¬â¢ve stated more than once your willingness and drive to learn. These two qualities alone will carry you far down whatever path you choose.
Take good care,

I like it when people can't handle simple things like "christianity" haw haw
We had this conversation in chat, murmur. Christianity is far from simple. Over 2,000 years it has accreted lots of complexities.
And, just for clarification, I believe you are talking about your own inability to handle Christianity as opposed to commenting on someone else's situation, nyet?

PS: I like your avatar. Who is that guy?
Anyone who thinks they are completely deprogrammed after dropping christianity as their religion is a liar. I would like to think its that simple.
I have deleted three posts in this thread because they violate forum rules. Calling people names is not permitted here, as is challenging the person rather than the issue.
And it's not a matter of "muzzling" anyone. It's a matter of encouraging people to express themselves constructively.
