My wife and son remain involved in this faith, and that's their personal choice, but I've left it for the faith that I've known all these years has had the Truth, and that's the Jehovah's Witnesses. So, truly, I have no regrets. I welcome the thought of being excommunicated from the Mormon church for apostasy, as I can no longer support her teachings and feel I must 'get on the road to life' (Matt. 7:12,13) and that I must obey the command to 'come out of her, my people' (Rev. 18:4) and this is exactly what I am doing. Again, I've had a great time in your midst, but as 1 John 2:19 states, I'm leaving because I'm truly 'not one of you' and really never have been.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4226919640941942349-3774809076609451658?l=ldsabroad.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Virginia Christianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03931913687840641607noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4226919640941942349.post-53720846751638611632011-05-08T08:22:00.000-07:002011-05-08T08:26:07.815-07:00We return to the United States soon, but we'll always love and cherish our friendships and our Sasebo Military Branch family, in the Name of Jesus Christ, amen.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4226919640941942349-5372084675163861163?l=ldsabroad.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Virginia Christianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03931913687840641607noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4226919640941942349.post-26642599394077322582009-12-21T03:55:00.000-08:002009-12-21T03:55:18.096-08:00<div style='text-align:center;margin:0px auto 10px;'><a href='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bzHnZ93IUIc/Sy9iJX04XwI/AAAAAAAABPI/1Tz3o9nBO2g/s1600-h/M4V00126.jpg'><img src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bzHnZ93IUIc/Sy9iJX04XwI/AAAAAAAABPI/1Tz3o9nBO2g/s400/M4V00126.jpg' border='0' alt='' /></a>&nbsp;</div><div style='clear:both;
