[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread has brought out some really interesting perspectives. I'm soon to be an ordained pastor. When I was a young adult I read the bible, memorized verses, prayed and didn't fit in with most of my peers. I was always sensitive and spiritual--an old soul type who saw and sought greater meaning in life than I saw most of my friends doing. My parents made fun of me and it made me feel even more isolated. Your child is religious; her faith is important to her. Some people are born this way. If she wants counseling by all means help her, but also encourage her to talk to faith leaders so that she can explore her spirituality with people who understand her. I'd love to know your daughter and I expect a priest or pastor could be a great mentor to her, in whatever her life choices are. [/quote]

I wrote this post and want to add--I have very meaningful relationships with my friends, a happy marriage with my husband and two children. I don't have loads of Instagram followers and I'm not partying every weekend but I am extremely fulfilled. If you're worried about her relationships it's not a concern unless she's involved in some type of cult.  People of faith make friends and find spouses. [/quote]

Agree with this. As with any other relationship and group, the question to ask is whether she feels pressured to do anything she isn't comfortable with and whether the organization as a whole seems legit, with good role models in leadership roles.[/quote]
