Effdot, how can I best put this...?
Your 'friend' ALS, was not really your friend; and he was no Christian, either, not as I know them.
His job was to sow dissension, and he has apparently succeeded.
I warned you..'You washed your hands in muddy water' and 'fell in with bad companions'.
Don't leave - your FRiends are still here.
