Do I detect a change in your attitude, SMR? I don’t recall you ever identifying so explicitly with Jewish people before.



I don't know if I would call it a change in attitude. I like to think of myself as a Jew who is returning to my roots. So I think it is more of a process.

I would like to think I have always been honest and open as possible with all things, even if they weren't in my favor. I used to be a bit more abrupt when speaking with missionaries but now I try to be patient and give them food for thought. Not that they'll do anything with it, but at least they find out quickly that a learned Jew is not one they want to spend much time with because we can actually refute most everything they say.

It does sadden me though when I see our people turning from the Almighty who has chosen us to be His people and teach the world His instructions for life.
