Over the years I've becone very forgiving and understanding, but how do you get past the lies?

To repent means to die to that way of acting and live only in how God commands. If you lie and then don't care, you cannot repent. It is not the words 'I am sorry' but a change of heart and actions.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
