- Because being a Jehovah's Witness was not a choice, she struggled with committing herself to it. For example, one belief is that those who do not attend church will not go to heaven; Jacqueline does not believe this, as her grandfather is a wonderful man who does not attend.
- Being a Jehovah's Witness means not being able to celebrate holidays or birthdays. This made Jacqueline feel very left out as a child. She recalls having to leave the classroom when classmates brought in birthday cupcakes.
- Jacqueline is raised as a Jehovah's Witness. What effect does religion have on her life?
- After learning about Maria's Christianity, observing her mother's abstract view of spirituality, and being exposed to Islam by her uncle Robert, Jacqueline forms a set of beliefs that encompass aspects of all different religions, not just one in particular.
