Which Reminds Me
It seems strange to me that the Sawords would be attacking us just because basically they are British-Canadian and we are not. That is about all that it amounts to because otherwise there was really nothing else to say about them. It was not like we were planning to attack them later or anything like that. We have other things on our minds and we know that they belong to a very exclusivist tiny like sect called Plymouth Brethren which has its own rules. We already knew that their particular rules would make us seem worldly by contrast to their extremely strict and retro lifestyle so there would be nothing constructive to be gained in discussing that point any further. At their church the women do not cut their hair ever, etc., etc. We would feel very uncomfortable if required to be judged by their rules because, basically, our church denomination sees that somewhat differently, not that Dawn would have stopped talking long enough to allow me to explain my point of view on that. We have other ideas about certain things. Not to go around attacking them because we understand about the invisible church and they are doing what they believe is right, but we also have freedom to do as we believe is right. That is what freedom of religion is all about, is it not?
