newbie yay.

Um...I'm Otherkin, basically. A shapeshifter/chameleon/whatever I dunno.
And then there's a_the_nephil, who also insists that she's my Otherkin-self. I don't know what to make of her sometimes.
Aaaand I also have like eleventy headvoices/soulbonds (I think the last count had about 270 that are currently active). Which is interesting. They talk in my greatestjournal account (phoenix_rush). Which is mostly 'owned' by a few very rather talkative headvoices.

I've had one friend ask me if I was Otherkin (to which I replied "...um."), as well as my mom (who didn't understand the concept at all, and though it was omg Ebil Magick or something). So yeah, I don't talk about it much IRL. In fact, I don't talk much about anything IRL :D. lolz.

I'm just your average college student. I write and draw and read and fangirl and listen to music and all that stuff. I like dinosaurs and dragons and fantasy and anime and video games. And most people get all 'wtf' at me when I try to explain that yes indeed, I'm actually a rather conservative Christian. Conservative, not intolerant. u_u

That's about it. My life atm consists of me beating my computer into submission, homework, and watching my pet snake zoom around his tank. The end.

Conservative How?

[jadedmosaic.livejournal.com]

Hi My name is Shelby,

Nice to meet you . I just wondered what makes you describe yourself as a Conservative Christian and Tolerent . I've been a Christian my whole life and am a Liberal but found myself in many intolerent Churches that did not even claim to be conservative who definatly did not consider multiplicity normal . In fact they thought our inside voices or people were deamons and tried to extract us and be rid of us through starving , locking us up, prayer pushing us over and no sleep .

If you decide you want to look for a Church You may want to try a Universalism/Unitarian Christian Approach if you want to meet people then you can stay TOLERENT . I say this cause you say you are a normal college student and a "Otherkin / Shapshifter Camilion" and quite conservative christian girl . You must know most people do not consider thisok all in the same paragraph .. But I totally know what you mean

We were listening to Nichole C Mullen " My Redeemer lives ...as I read your post . With some "Conservative Christians " Nichole would be considered contemporary christian and too secular too listen too. A No No . Please if you seek out a Church Just be careful who you share your intimate details with. They may not consider it normal. We found out the hard way young and trusting . We are thankful for this safe place to be who we are. When you figure out how to beat yur computer into submission please pass along some tips we need a submisive computer in the worse way Good Luck, & Peace Shelby

I mean that I tend to be very old-fashioned in my views (I don't agree with various New-Agey type things that seem to be creeping into Christianity, I don't agree with sex before marriage, I don't agree with things being okay just because they're 'natural' or 'they aren't hurting anyone else', I bend my views to match what I percieve as God's will, not the other way around, etc), but I don't have a problem being friends with people who have opposing views.

Conservatism and intolerance do not need one another to exist. I know many liberal people who are extremely intolerant of others (I had to live with one this past summer...ugh. It sucked.).

I'm actually United Methodist, with some Lutheran and Catholic leanings. Mostly adopting the Lutheran stuff because that's pretty much what you find out here in South Dakota. And the Luthern Campus Ministries people here are awesome :}. But that's another topic.

You wouldn't believe how many people I've met who get all in a huff because 'omg headvoices and Otherkinism can't possibly fit with Christianity!1' But I've yet to find solid proof that it can't. :}

I think what you're thinking of in terms of the music thing is more of a Fundementalist Christianity than conservative. I have run into many fundementalists, though, and that's definitely not the faith I follow.
And generally, I'm not in the habit of talking about Otherkinism and headvoices with random people IRL. It's just not something I feel should influence my interactions with other people. For myself, anyway (obviously, for other people, it's a huge deal, and if that's how they want to live, that's fine with me :}).

As far as the computer goes...the only thing that's worked lately was having the hard drive wiped and reinstalling Windows. But that was a last-ditch measure, and only done with the help of a computer science friend of mine :D;.

what do you mean? you go all over soulbodning with your 'adventures' in soulboding, you made it sound like friends at college treat you all as one big group, or was that chatting session "all in your head"?

Its fun to have traditional lifestyles, like being Suzie home maker, being a baby factory for your husband, doing what he says..fun stuff. lets go back 70 or more years.

yes it is horrble that Christanity is changing, from what I heard people are stearing anway from Jesus's teachings. But its going to be a dark day when we rewrite the bible to Ok soulbonding or otherkin.

head voices? thats like channling? mediums...aren't they like? "not what God likes?"

You know what? I do NOT appreciate the "like being Suzie home maker, being a baby factory for your husband, doing what he says..fun stuff." comment. I NEVER said anything about having that kind of lifestyle, I said I had conservative viewpoints, which are an entirely different subject. I don't appreciate you slighting my religion, acting like the only things us conservative women can do are being homemakers and baby machines, I can't understand what the freak you said in your first paragraph, and I'm just generally fed up with the tone of your comments. Maybe you don't realize this, but I've told you before--you are coming across as an extremely snooty know-it-all who puts down others beliefs.

I'll tell you this: I am getting fed up with your comments in reply to things I've said. So either shape up the tone or stop talking to me. please. I know this is a community, not my personal journal, but this is really getting on my nerves.
