Sorry Widget, I don't have time to read this thread, so I hope I am not repeating anything. But the thing I thot of...is that I am a Christian, but because a friend is atheist, or Jewish, or Wiccan etc DOESN'T make me think less of them. They choose to beleive what they will and I honor that. They are themselves, not an extension of me, or I am not an extension of them. We need not beleive in just the same things, NOONE does agree completely on everything.
My T (who is Christian) went to a wiccan ceremony of a friend, she never put down her friend as being bad or wrong or anything else, in fact she said some of the words used in the ceremony were wonderful. My T is a strong Christian, but she is accepting of others. Who is she/or I, really to say what is right or wrong? We can only beleive in what we feel is right for ourownselves.
So if you feel leery of TM, then stay away. In future you can always change your mind, or you may never go there. You need to do what is most comfortable for you.
So, respect for T in his decisions, and T respects you in yours. Thats good.
Guess the only other thing i wondered at was the wording of your T saying repetatively 'I don't care....', maybe thats just in your wording,and just me and my 'stuff', but that in of itself would kinda bother me, the choice of words. I would rather hearsomething like, "we make our own descions, I don't want to influence you to do what I do just cuz I do it, I care that you do what you feel is comfortable for YOU, what FITS you, cuz we all different.' or something like that...Or "what is right for me, is not necc right for you by ANY means, I just care that you find what fits for you...
Or mebbe I just fulla sh*t. I feel fulla sh*t today, so excuse me if I am way off.
Take care,
M
