AggieAXO, would you be considered "closeminded" because you chose to follow the rules/guidelines of AXO? Of course not. AXo is something you believe in and hold close to your heart.
If I say "stealing is wrong" or "adultery is wrong" would that be consider "judging" or being closeminded? If could simply be a matter of the words being thrown around incorrectly, but I am sensing that it depends on WHO the words are coming from that determines whether or not it is.
You believe that God wants everybody to be happy doing what makes us happy. By the same token, there are those of us on here that believe that as well, EXCEPT we realize that there are a few rules to live by that were set forth by God. And because we believe in those rules, we are somehow closeminded or are judging others?  Interesting......

I do believe in AXO but if someone wants to join another organization that better fits them then so be it-does that mean I think they are sinning-no. Stealing and adultry hurts other people, marrying 2 people that love each other does not hurt either one of these people. Your comparisons don't make sense.
