She raised her six children in Christianity, but educated them in other religions to allow them the option of choice. My great aunt was the greatest influence in my desire to explore the different religions in my town. My parents understood this desire and did not suppress it.

Watch Tower and Tract Society (1990) reported, "It abolished allegiance to the pope, clerical celibacy, confession, and other Catholic practices, yet it retained an Episcopal form of church structure in its hierarchy of archbishops and bishops as well as orders of monks and nuns" (p. The religious celebrations the Jewish people follow today have been completely abandoned by the Christian faiths. I continued to ask why my parents were not able to receive.

Respect of the differences is required, and should never be ignored or challenged.
