    There is a spirit which I feel that delights to do no evil, nor to revenge any wrong, but delights to endure all things, in hope to enjoy its own in the end. Its hope is to outlive all wrath and contention, and to weary out all exaltation and cruelty, or whatever is of a nature contrary to itself. It sees to the end of all temptations. As it bears no evil in itself, so it conceives none in thoughts to any other. If it be betrayed, it bears it, for its ground and spring is the tender mercies and forgiveness of G'd. Its crown is meekness, its life is everlasting love unfeigned; it takes its kingdom with entreaty and not with contention, and keeps it by lowliness of mind. In G'd alone it can rejoice, though none else regard it, or can own its life. It is conceived in sorrow, and brought forth without any to pity it, nor does it murmur at grief and oppression. It never rejoices but through sufferings; for with the world's joy it is murdered. I found it alone, being forsaken. I have fellowship therein with those who lived in dens and desolate places in the earth, who through death obtained this resurrection and eternal holy life. [James Nayler, 1660]

    Quakers wear all kinds of stuff. The same stuff everybody else wears. They don't talk differently anymore, and they don't really seem to hold to any particular beliefs anymore. It seems like Quakers basically just pander to whatever left-leaning cause is going on at any given time. I went to a Wiccan ceremony held at a Friends meeting House one time. Honestly I grew up here in PA & I have zero respect for Quakers at this point.

    It appears to me that Quakerism is changing, but I'm not as well-versed in Quakerism as many others. I believe more in a relationship with God as opposed to being in a "religion".
