How afraid are you?

Just exactly what are you willing to tell other mylotters? I'm kind of excited about something, but I don't want mylotters I really respect to look down on me. It's not as controversial as it used to be, and it's not breaking any of man's law or God's law. Yet, I hesitate. How do you feel about things like that?

Let me guess - you're getting or have already got, a tattoo. Am I right?

I got a tattoo on my ankle when I was 19 and in New Zealand. It says Free Spirit.

I do not tell all my business here. I do not know if it is fear, or some extra sense of privacy. I sometimes discuss things in private with some of my connections. You have me curious, though and you know I would not look down on you.

I think you should share only as much as you feel comfortable. I don't discuss anything too personal on here most of the time, because I do not know the kind of reaction I would get..nor is it anybody's business really.

You should tell only what you are comfortable talking about, if you hesitate then don't tell.

You're right, not much is shocking anymore, but I try to follow G-d and not break His rules. So there are some things I don't talk about because people will probably think I'm not opened minded, but if G-d says no, then I won't, but I probably also won't talk about it, so, I am somewhat hesitant.

I find a lot of Christians are legalistic and that they would be condemning whereas Christians not into legalism wouldn't think anything of it. Like one lady here told me because I got my dog a Jack o Lantern dog chew (they were on sale after Halloween) I was sinning against God. I was like uh, it's a dog snack. Pretty sure God isn't sending me to hell for that.

@AmbiePam Yeah, that is a little overboard, though there are some brands I personally don't support because they are anti-Israel. I firmly believe if we go against Israel, we will pay. Besides, it was Israel who gave us our salvation, we should never turn our back on her.

@Carmelanirel2 If one is a Christian I can't understand how they do anything but support Israel. It ticks me off when celebrities scold Isreal, especially on social media platforms.

I think that we all know what we can and need/should share on the site here. I keep a lot back, I am happier that way, although there are a few individuals that I do share things with thru a pm or email. If you are excited, then I am excited for you, as I would not judge you. I hope that you remain this excited and positive for this.

I was going to tell it until I read a judgmental comment on this discussion and thought, if someone is going to be judged for that thing then I doubt I should mention it at this time.

Well now.... I'm waiting to hear all about your excited news. I never judge anyone over the choices they make unless it is something cruel towards children or another human being. But if you are afraid or worried but really want to share, just PM those you feel you can trust and understand. Let them tell you if it is something you should share. But at least this way you get to share your excitement with someone.

Personal things like all about family and identities are confidential or bank accounts too and other records it must be kept and leave all to our pockets for safety.

I keep lots of things to myself instead of writing about them. There are too many trolls online and I don't want the headache!

I think one tends to be more open in a virtual world. I would certainly share more here than I would in my real world.

I do tend to write things here that I wouldn't mention to anyone face to face. I might be embarrassed if I could actually see people, but I don't write anything that would upset anyone. If you are excited and want to share - go for it.

I am sort of a private person and this is a very public place, so I don't share my innermost thoughts. I sharing my activities, etc.
