Kelly237.....I am sorry for your loss I had responded to your OP without having read the following 6 pages
I agree with nomoresnow....You as an adult have very right to choose how or when you practice whatever religion/non-religion or spirituality you have an interest in. Glad you can assert yourself. Hope that you find comfort and support from the validating responses to your, or should I say Her issue and how to deal with it. Good luck to you.

So, the issue isn't that THEY are doing something that is bothering you, the issue is that YOU are too sensitive or defensive.
Insightful !!!!

I clearly told her I can't continue to be around her unless she backs off with this issue and lets me figure it out on my own.
She flat out said she would not stop because she thinks its justified..and thinks it would mean she isn't
being bold for the gospel..

We talked again the next day (not in anger) and I told her I will not listen to it anymore and she said
she can't let it go. So we both said we would miss each other..

I think I didn't have a choice in this situation..
I am sorry to hear it came to this but for your own well being I think it is for the best right now.

Perhaps in the future she will understand that she is not justified in her behavior toward you on this issue.

Good luck and I wish you the best and I do hope you find the peace and tranquility you seek.

Thanks so much..

Today I had lunch with a lady that lost her husband a month ago..

It felt so great to be able to encourage her & she said it was nice to talk to someone who understood...
