Gratitude For This ULC Forum

[ChristLight]

I am grateful for the ULC for so many reasons. This ULC ministry, and particularly this forum on good wishes, gratitude, blessings, and prayers now, has been by my side for my entire journey since 2004. It has been a wild ride of shifting knowledge and experiences, and still the ULC is here for me regardless of my indoctrinations into and out of other religions as I tried on each one to see if they felt right. Most did not. I find myself on the precipice of both new and ancient frontiers. I love that I feel that I am a welcomed and valued part of this incredible group of soul searchers who allow themselves to continue learning beyond the indoctrinations of the past.

 

The responses from other members of our ULC family were kind and thought provoking as I posted my various comprehensions as I experienced life. I would like to share my lived experiences now. What have ai learned?

 

I entered the ULC first as a minister around April 2, 2004 as a former frustrated Catholic, until I left the ULC completely in 2014, because I was studying with Jehovah's Witnesses and they insisted that I had to get out of everything, including the ULC. I gave my personal power away to them and got out. But that only lasted for 2 years. I had grown up loving my Catholic faith in Jesus, but I was not happy with the regurgitated sermons from most Christian pulpits including all other Christian denominations. While I hesitated studying with Jehovah's Witnesses, I needed to learn for myself firsthand. After 2 years, I found myself debating with the elders, but it was more of the same. I was re-ordained in the ULC on August 3, 2016. I think when I got out of the ULC altogether, it wiped out my presence from ever being in the ULC, but some of you may remember me still.

 

Everyone in all Christian religions seemed happy with only knowing the first 12 childhood years of Jesus, and then only his 3 years from his ages 30 to 33, as if that's all he had to say. How would any of us like to only be known by our first 12 years in our childhood, and then only from what we had to say from our ages 30 to 33? Certainly not me.

 

Now I study what most Christian denominations do not allow themselves to even read, let alone study. Every religion is part of the indoctrination they preach on their own "doctrine," obviously. They dare to call those other 18 years of the life of Jesus "Heresy!", from his ages 12 to 30, and his life from his ages 33 to 120, according to some research I discovered. I say, we should all have mercy on those indoctrinated ones, because most of them learned what they know from other indoctrinated ones for the past 2,000 years. It is not completely their fault that key and important information has been hidden from their eyes, minds, and hearts. We serve no one if we do not teach with love, compassion, and empathy, for that is where I once was.

 

Thank God for the ULC which dares to teach beyond the indoctrinations of others. Again, I am grateful for the ULC.
