Your friend sounds like a real jerk. It’s attitudes like his that give holy rollers a bad name. If one of my daughter’s boy friends did that to them, I would hope they would have enough respect for themselves to tell the creep to go F himself. By the way, I’m no Mormon. Never met a Mormon. Probably no Mormons withing 30 miles of me.
LOL. He isn’t a jerk at all and has been my husband for over 16 years now. He has never been a ‘holy roller’ either, just a strong Christian who had the guts to tell me truth, even if it meant losing our friendship.
His comments stuck with me the entire time I was in Utah (and deep in Mormonism). His comments, which were the truth, led me back to him when I left. There is such a thing as tough love and he loved me enough to be bold enough to tell me what I didn’t want to hear. That was a blessing in the long run because it got me out of that evil cult (Mormonism) and into a relationship with Christ.
I used to be Mormon and frankly, those with your attitude don’t keep people IN Mormonism, not lead them out. I am eternally grateful that my beloved husband loved me enough to tell me the truth, even if it hurt at the time.
Galatians 4:16
Can it be that I have become your enemy for telling you the truth?
