*snif* this issue is something which tries to get me to tears. I lost all non-Charismatic friends during I was at Charismatic circles (one big reason for that was moving to different town), and leaving the Charismatic circles broke all relationships to people who are still there. One visited here recently and after that visit I'm not going to let any of my charismatic ex-friends to visit in this house. (Or maybe they can visit here, but I nor my kids won't be here.)

Sometimes I miss the fundamentalist group. There was always someone to talk with as long as you agreed with everything. But was that friendship if all that is gone after I left that group? Definetly not! It was just... something.
