Talk:FlyLady
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Christianity
I removed the bit saying that Flylady's messsages are "Christian and traditional." I have found that her messages are anything but traditional, and I have also seen her address the Christianity issue on the email list. She does not want to exclude anyone, her messages are for everyone, and it is not a strictly Christian program. Her email concerning the issue reads like this:
"FlyLady here: I have never pushed my religious beliefs on anyone. I try to love everyone. I feel that love is what makes the world go round.
I stood in front of a Christian audience two weeks ago and told them that FlyLady was for everyone. That women of all different faiths (and I named them) and even those with no faith had the same wants and desires when it comes to their homes.
I heard a gasp from the event sponsor when I mentioned pagans and witches. I don't exclude anyone. You exclude yourself when you don't adapt our routines to fit your family.
The reason you don't see many testimonials about other faiths is that I don't receive them often. If we would all just try to love our neighbors as ourselves then the world would not be riddled with fear and anger.
I have never hidden the fact that God is a very big part of my life. God Breezes blow my direction every day.
Send me your testimonials and I will share them. We are all sisters and brothers living in one world!"
I think that clarifies the issue nicely-- Flylady is not just for Christians.
