I am an introvert and am not ashamed.<br /><br />2. Talk of end-times makes me shut down, as preterism makes more sense to me.<br /><br />3. My idea of sin is more limited than most.<br /><br />4. Loving people is more important to me than witnessing or rules.<br /><br />5. Listening to music is vital; reading is a passion; and writing helps me understand myself, the many characters in my head and almost all aspects of life and of people. It doesn't always work, though.<br /><br />P.S. Obedience makes my skin crawl. I'll admit that sometimes it is less productive, but questioning can never hurt.JQnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15524211.post-91660070610250864332009-01-26T17:05:00.000-05:002009-01-26T17:05:00.000-05:00Your comment about valuing obedience as opposed to...Your comment about valuing obedience as opposed to questioning is very interesting to me. I feel that I am attracted to Judaism in one sense because following many of the rituals (rules) such as lighting candles on Friday or keeping Kosher (very lightly) connects me with the past, the future, and with other Jewish people around the world. There is a certain comfort to that sense of connectedness. On the other hand, I am also attracted to Judaism because the study of Torah involves asking questions and exploring different possible answers, much of which is recorded in the Talmud, but which continues even after the Talmud was finished. The process of thinking and questioning is what is important, rather than coming up with THE answer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15524211.post-21140227885752929102009-01-16T15:08:00.000-05:002009-01-16T15:08:00.000-05:00What good insights into yourself!What good insights into yourself!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235049965406944684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15524211.post-89150115792756792792009-01-16T12:34:00.000-05:002009-01-16T12:34:00.000-05:00oh yes books smell and feel good, I hate giving bo...oh yes books smell and feel good, I hate giving books away, and can get quirky about lending them....
