[QUOTE="Ishna, post: 147445, member: 2709"] Well, in my humble opinion, and I apologise if I offend any members here, but your life is your own and you've lived it up to now the way you want to. Anyone community who looks at your past and judges you by it, without taking into consideration where you're going, isn't worth associating with. Sikhi is a religion which has its traditionalists and it's progressives and you get a mix in every community. You might fit in with some sections, you might not fit in with others. The only way you'll know is to go and participate and see what happens. Sikhs are supposed to welcome anyone to their Gurdwaras (temples), no one is barred from entering, as long as you behave with respect. Also, what do you want from the community? Why not join a club for one of your hobbies - that's community too. Are you more interested in the community aspect than you are the Waheguru/spiritual aspect? I'm not a good one to give advice on community. I'm very much a fringe-dweller. As far as I know, I'm the only white convert who goes to my Gurdwara. I'm married to an atheist whose much older than me. He has been divorced and has two children. I have told all this to many of the aunties at my gurdwara and they don't seem to have a problem with it. What everyone does seem concerned about is my level of education (I have a trade certificate, not a degree or diploma!), but they've gotten over that. hehe But it's easy for me being such an anomaly. If you've got Indian heritage, I don't know if it will be different for you. You might be of another heritage, Asian or African or Croat, whatever - I'm sure that won't be a problem. When I first started going to Gurdwara I did have concerns about acceptance. When I first started going I wasn't married, I was living with my boyfriend. I worried that people would see me as a bad example for their daughters, and as a white devil with regard to their sons. But if they did, they didn't show it, and I was welcome. Now I'm married, it doesn't seem to bother anyone either. But I don't socialise with the community at my Gurdwara... I go there to do seva (you socialise while you do that), for the kirten (spiritual music), for the discourse (which sometimes has English slides), for the karah prashad (hehehe), for the spiritual boost. You might be looking more for friends? Having said that, I do go to a progressive Gurdwara. Maybe it would be different at another more traditional Gurdwara. I don't know. [/QUOTE]
