         *RainbowL* WHY I'M REVIEWING FOR YOU *RainbowR*
Group/purpose:
This gift is just for you so you can write with might and gift delight to readers through out WDC with confidence and best ability!
Title:
MY PATH TO A FAITH THAT SET ME FREEreally hooked me and drew me in because the straight path and narrow gate means much to me. Faith is as huge as I can get it and then I rely on God for the rest and hold onto the fact that the desire for faith, this is all I need. Freedom in Jesus Christ and His/my heavenly father is a most precious gift to me and anyone who accepts this gift.
Description:
From Southern Baptist, other churches, to the faith that has set me free indeed. I have to know and understand about this description, so am anxious to read your word art.
         *Bell* FIRST IMPRESSIONS *Bell*
Awesome! Yeah! You used very, very large font and a dark font color which is very, very helpful for people who have vision challenges (legally blind), so I am grateful!
         *ThumbsUp* I LIKE *ThumbsUp*
What and why:
Your word art is beautiful. From beginning to end you wrote from the heart and soul expressing and explaining your life experiences, history of involvement in churches, with scriptures, church leaders, and church members; almost didn't mention interactions with family and friends, and other people you met.

You have a very nice and friendly writing voice which I think and believe shows your true self. You do not hide behind a mask or hold back the things which you would consider possibly a problem to readers. you are bold and share with readers the complete you with your writing voice boldly in the bright light.

I am excited to be able to read and review this fresh and straight forward word art and your on nonsense this is the way it is story. I think you have done a great and wonderful job writing this information for people to read, ponder, and learn from as much as they are willing to consider your words.
plot:
The setting, characters, and actions and adventures of your story are similar to my situation although I didn't experience a lot of what you wrote about. I searched and asked God "is this all there is?" Going to church for me was something I didn't buy into. I was raised Catholic, so we have a common ground area to work in and from.

I understand about the Hypocrisy and other issues such as preaching about not doing sinful things while the preacher or other person in change is doing exactly what they of all people shouldn't be doing, I got this completely.

I agree with you that people shouldn't single out race, or color, or anything which is different as a reason to harm people, especially when organized religion is the start of problem of all types. It is humankind which is the trouble and not God, Jesus, the Holy Ghost, or scripture. Before man started dabbling into scripture, it was pure and straight forward. Get completely why and how you feel about the people in churches. I understand your anguish about people hurting each other because of what they believe, have been taught, and because of greed.

You showed very well the causes, reasons, and results of organized religions weaknesses and greed corrupting and destroying what Jesus started.

The way you have placed your words, sentences, ideas, and thoughts into your writing is for me powerful and a writing of absolute nakedness showing that you hide nothing. You only want the truth, people to realize that humankind should be supporting each other and not tearing dwon each other as well as other good things which should be done and bad things (sin) which should not to be done.

Your statements should awaken readers and cause them to think and consider what they do and how they are accepting the teachings of the churches.

Life is precious therefore, we humans are precious to God, I agree with this idea and teaching completely.

It is unfortunate that you had such and so many negative experiences with people and organized religion.
Rhythm:
Reading your words was like riding on air. I smoothly moved from one word to another and from one sentence to the next, wanting to know what treasure were in store in the next sentence or paragraph.

The rhythm slightly changed mostlikely because of my reactions to the information you wrote. Sometimes I felt like the situation was relaxed, yet there was a sense of urgency because you wanted so much to be away of the organized religions and churches, so I reacted by reading a little faster. Then there were places in your writing that seemed to have some not quite anger, it is the only word which came to my mind, but I'm certain it played a part in your experiences of abuse and similar events.

When I read about all the different horrible acts which were exercised against people such as driving them out of the church if they didn't vote as expected or they didn't agree with the teachings of the church, the people were ostracized and or driven out, I could sense n your writing tone that you were saddened and dismayed, which may be putting this mildly. I had to slow down reading these words because I wasn't certain if I was seeing this correctly, and wanted to make sure I understood what your were showing me.
         *Binoculars* OBSERVATION(S) *Binoculars*
You are right the truth will set you free. We have spirits and with the help of our spirit reactions and the Holy Ghost we are equipped to discern and study and pray so that we will know the truth.
         *Question* QUESTION(S) *Question*
How are and how is your relationship with the things of God as much as we know it, not what mankind thinks,teaches and expects us to blindly follow, but in the spirit and by the strength and truth of and from God?

What gave you the strength, wisdom, and inspiration to write these words and share them with people?
         *InfoV* SUGGESTIONS AND COMMENTS: *InfoV*
Whatever I suggest or comment on is for you to know about me and how I perceive and understand or not understand, ponder, or relate with your concerns and challenges you shared with me and allowed me to review for you.

Your voice through your writing says volumes about what you think, know, want to see changed, and how you feel. This is wonderful and I applaud you for writing out on this subject.
My thoughts and ideas which may be of interest to you:
         
You did not write about this:
I know this is in scripture. I know this is of God and from God in my spirit. I do understand this to be directed at people so that they are kind to one another and do no harm to each other. I have not memorized the exact words, however, I hold onto the idea. We are not to judge lset we be judged. We should hate the sin and love the sinner. I do not care for the word (*hate). It is to me a very strong and evil or mean word. I prefer to love the sinner and dislike the sin. I would want to help the person who is struggling with sin or something for example, like an addiction rather than mistreat and harm them.

I wouldn't change this writing because it is all you. It shows who you are and how you feel about issues of religion and church affairs and activities. Where there may or may not be grammer mistakes or other writing glitches, I know not because I didn't see anything and wasn't deliberately looking for such problems. I will leave this to someone else who has more knowledge on grammar than I.
*Thought* CONCLUSION(S) *Thought*

You gave me much to ponder, think and pray about with God, my heavenly father who knows me extremely well because He created me and everything.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
My thoughts and Impressions:
I enjoyed very much getting to know you through your word art. You painted a clear and informative picture with well chosen and placed words with in your story and which gave me a view of many things through your experiences and reactions.

People, churches, organized religion, and the people who teach and guide are human and as such either make mistakes or allow greed to get in the way and cause horrible events to happen. I do not agree with this, yet, I know that God will judge and take care of this at the proper time and place.

Having this opportunity to read and review for you is a pleasure and enjoy able activity which I use to help thw writer and myself learn and improve our writing. Thank you for sharing your word art picture with me and showing me about your experiences as a 5 your old through to adulthood.
May god be with you always.
Safe travels and many blessings.
