In reply to:

and no doubt you two never 'went back'?


Laz,

My friend didn't care to return but not because of anything said to him; which was basically nothing, not even a "Good Morning!" from any of the elders or the pastor. [Linked Image] But, he chose not to return because he didn't want any further incidents to happen to me due to his presence. We discussed this a some length and even though I tried to convince him that it was their problem, he couldn't bring himself to put any further burden upon me. What a guy! [Linked Image]

However, I didn't have much of a choice, or at least one that was amiable to me at the time. I was a student for the ministry in that denomination and that particular congregation was given the oversight of my training when at home. [Linked Image] I eventually left that denomination due to some serious disagreements. My only regret is that I didn't leave sooner! [Linked Image]


In His Grace,
