From a questioner:  Hello friend,

What must have been 5 years ago now, I sent an email to got questions about whether or not I should watch Brokeback Mountain in a film class I was taking. I was just starting college, albeit a little older than most, and took my education very seriously. I was troubled on whether or not I should study the movie and honestly just felt uncomfortable about it.

I was recalling the experience today. Some gentleman had emailed me back and encouraged me not to watch it if I felt it was wrong and that the teacher shouldn’t force me either way. I was encouraged by this and I ended up getting excused. The teacher wasn’t happy. I remember sitting in her office, just grasping for a meaningful conversation. I was trying not to offend with bigotry and homophobia but rather express actual religious conviction. I wanted to challenge my conservatism yet wondered if this film served that purpose effectively. It didn’t go well and the teacher had no interest in discussing my convictions. My fault honestly, I wasn’t clear. She said I had been permitted not to watch it, without penalty, and didn’t understand why I was belaboring the point. Looking back, I think it was great idea at the time not to watch it, though I wish I had handled the conversation better.

That email was helpful. I had no one else to turn to as I was still new in town. I was desperate for someone else’s perspective, my wife didn’t know how to help. It’s amazing to think how connected we are as the body of Christ in the modern technological age. To whomever is sitting at the other end of this email, thank you for your work. It was a small moment but being available to others is nothing trivial.

So small, but Lord!, years later I realize it was also surprisingly meaningful. Weeks after this I was sitting in class at Wheaton college, having finally wore down admissions in taking a gamble on an older student. I have since graduated and gotten back to work. Still haven’t seen that movie, but I visit gotquestions.com often.

You’re all wonderful, I love you. You all are light in the darkness. Peace be with you.

From a questioner: Thank you for your answer to my questions, also the ones before. I really do appreciate it.

I’ve been baptized for a couple of years now but just can’t seem to get the understanding of scriptures, much less to study my Quarterly. When I attend church on Sabbath mornings I feel so dumb and worthless just sitting there not able to take part.

Thank God for your Website, when I came a across it it was like a God sent. Whenever I read your answers to my questions then looking up the scriptures you gave everything become so clear, so I wondered ‘why didn’t I see this before’.

Thank You! I pray that God’s blessings will be upon you all, that by his grace your work will continue throughout, so that others like me will benefit from the blessings he has given to you.

From a questioner: I feel deeply humbled and moved by these riches that you’ve shared with me. I wouldn’t trade this grace that you’ve extended out of your own diligent work and study for any price. I just wept. I wept at the beauty of your words, the eloquence, the care taken, the time sacrificed, the kindness and compassion poured out to a complete stranger. No person could be that beautiful inside unless God was good. I now understand what the true riches of God are about, and I feel what you meant when you said these riches are not to be given away but shared. That is precisely what gave this so much value for me. Spiritually, I was feeling complete isolation and overwhelm. How you managed to lift me out of that ironclad state with such gentleness and quietness in your soul filled me with assurance that not only is God all wise, but He is the very definition of sanity. It was not lost on me that everything you shared was based in the word of God and born out of your own dedication, hard work and sincerity. I just wanted you to know that not one single word you have shared with me will go to waste. You were on the mark for me with every point that you covered. Thank you, I will never forget this. Thank you for ending my nightmare of a careless God for good, and for opening the doors to a new spiritual reality for me. With Love,
