Ever tried to explain something that's obvious and simple to someone, only to be met with a blank stare and complete confusion?

Someone smack me in the head the next time I start rambling about explaining things to Megan, will you? She -is- a very intelligent person... but she's also TOTALLY unfocused and undisciplined, which gives her the appearance of being a thrice damned idiot! There. I'm done with that. Moving right along...

I got told point blank by two of the people in the home group (the group therapy circle I'm part of) that I was sorely missed and that they were glad I was back. One commented that without me, the two religio-zealots had tried to shout the rest of the group down... and that rumors of my impending return had caused one of them to switch to a -different- group to avoid me. Of course, the lady in question was the one who tried quoting King James edition Scripture at me, only to have my rebuttles come in King James, New International, -and- New American Standard. Apparently 'heretical transsexual heathens' (now how can I be heretical -and- heathen? That's what /I/ want to know...) aren't supposed to be able to quote the Bible. In context. I think it scared her, to be honest... but when someone starts quoting from Leviticus and saying that it's Jesus' Great Plan of Salvation, I feel the need to start responding from The Acts of the Apostles, Romans, and II Corinthians. Go figure. :p

She didn't even know about my gender issues or intentions... that's what amused me so very much about it all. *snicker*

It was nice to be welcomed back... I'd worried that it'd be a room full of strangers again, but several of them remember me. Today's discussion seemed to revolve mostly on the topics of communication, specifically the communicating of one's needs to partners and friends. Funny that the topic would be so relevant... and that it was of no help at all. *wry smile*

Ah... Megan and her puzzled confusion has decided to take a nap. Time to visit the little girl's room, and then see if I can wriggle into my corset alone. I feel the need to spruce up tonight.

*smooches, and pads off whistling softly*

Ellie,

Just remember, that when Jesus was the 'upstart,' that he regularly out-matched the pharasies in literate and topical use of scripture. Then again, He did have a bit of a leg up on them in regards to what He was quoting :)

Relio-zealots, or zealots of any kind, find certain quotes, be it biblical or otherwise; often out of context of the rest of the source material. It fits their narrow point of view and that's all that matters to them.

The more of them you put in their place, the better for you and, ultimately, them. You might just get them to step outside of their own little box. If not, then it's their problem.

*hugs*
