The more you know!

I have a standing invite to show up for dinner at a (good) friend's house. I've known her since freshman year - from an organization we were in and we went to the same church.

Yes. That church.

Long story short: I wasn't sure what our relationship was since I fled the church in the middle of the night. You could have knocked me over when she said she was glad I got out and other people think the family was crazy. The church planted two churches in the area right before I left. Seems that most of the people I know left the original one and aren't really in agreement with some of their teaching.

And here I was thinking all these people thought I was some kind of heathen, hurting the family in my path to destruction.
