[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 744173, member: 1550"] Else, I see you have also had a lot of loss. I am sad for this. Particular churches can be judgmental although I dont believe Jesus wanted them to be. These days I love God and am extremely spiritual but wont join a church as I think the judgments were man written. Your friend who picked the church over you, if you think about it, was not really your friend. So many times we spend years investing loving time with people whom we trust....but not really. In our hearts we know. We know they will leave if we do something they judge. In the back of our hearts, we know. My sister thinks I left because she stayed with her very abusive boyfriend and I tried to talk her into leaving him. That was untrue as to why I left. I left solely because of her relationship and treatment of me. No other reason. Nobody should leave another because of a relationship choice even if it gets tiring to hear about it. Nor should anyone leave a person because they are living who they are...gay or straight, so what? I have a gay son. Big deal. He is still himself. I fail to understand why this is even a blip on anyone's radar. I think we need to be careful about who we trust with our hearts. And if somebody shuns us for things like these issues, were they ever friends? Even family? I am again very sorry. They are the ones who lost out, not you two. [/QUOTE]
