MY FRIEND "Matthew" became a member of Trinity.
i recall having one of the most lengthy spiritual discussions of my lifetime
during a Christmas party :arrow:
Free-Will (me) vs. Pre-Destination (him).
our friendship never seemed to fully recover . . . :cry:
i have run into my own "cult" troubles ~ hence, i found this site.
The Trinity discussion caught my eye.
i hoped you might recognize me by name, but alas . . .
strangers in ideology we remain?
and a lifetime friendship, for me, seems by-gone. :roll:
"Matthew" won't return or answer any of my calls.
whatever I DID, he never told me . . .
unless he had some other beef, of which i'm certainly not aware . . .
in the end, cults isolate people, in many, many ways.
this alone, IMO, is evidence of cult schrapnel :evil:
[b:0727051674]and this seems UNJUST after a 28-year friendship.[/size:0727051674][/b:0727051674][/color:0727051674]
[b:0727051674] i could continue by giving my 3rd party 24+ year observation
of the effect a Trinity membership seemed to have on him/his,[/b:0727051674]
if i am speaking of the same "Matthew" & for that matter, i could document the same 'perceived' negative effect on a mutual friend of ours/hers; but this sounds threatening, spiteful, and would
seem inappropriate and/or in bad taste, at the very least.
i guess i'm just angry to have lost you, and here i sit as an anonymous
cyber-chatter telling you MY BEEF . . . RIDICULOUS :!:
[b:0727051674]MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS US ALL.
I AM THANKFUL FOR THIS WEBSITE.
MAY WE ALL REMAIN FREE FROM ANY DARKNESS
THAT COMES IN ORDER TO STEAL, KILL & DESTROY
. . . AMEN.[/b:0727051674][/color:0727051674][/size:0727051674]
