P.S That friend of mine later left again but for good this time. He found out the hard way that there was never any real love there. As so many here have found out.
No matter how much they want to think they are different then other religions they really are the same as everyone else. Judgmental and self righteous.

and how long does it last,....... no not that again (one track minds) how many looks are you addicted to a day?

He had been an elder for 10 years before that, He had commited adultery with another "brothers" wife. Who he was now married to.
I asked him how it was going. He said "not to good" "Why" I asked. "well" he said "I lost most of my friends, they just don't like hanging around someone who screwed up!" He said "They act like I have some kind of disease that maybe catching?"
I said "Did you kill anyone?" "What?" he asked. "DID YOU KILL ANYONE?"
"NO!" He said.
"Well King David, KILLED some one and committed ADULTERY, and God could forgive him!" I said.
"Well I guess I'm not King David" He said.

"those false religions teach that everyone is going to heaven when they die, oh sure, .
all you have to do is be a good person, and off you go to heaven.
I like the idea that we all go to heaven and wouldn't everyone be surprised if we did!
Maybe the only true hell is being here on Earth and believing your religion is the only true one.
this forum offers the stories of folks with as many variations as there are folks and a “great crowd” of lurkers whose stories may never be offered.
i am an outsider with a broken heart for some insiders that i love more than they know.
after reading nearly every “apostate” book ever written, lurking, being worn out searching the wt cd, i have come to an idea that i present for your appraisal..

Bottom line we are not our stories.
As easy as that is to say, still people choose to believe in all or parts of their stories.
