Then we come to find out the party was that night and we were 'excluded'. I guess he meant he'd have another small function later for his 'Gentile' acquaintances.

It is OBVIOUS to ALL that he was really thinking of your feelings and how OUT OF PLACE you would have been at a gathering of those not of your faith.

--MormonDupe(DID he have another meeting that included you ?)

Obvious to all? Nope. Not at all. You're wearing your rose colored glasses... You see, the only reason to feel out of place would be if they made me feel that way. I associate with people not of my church all the time. No big deal there. Shouldn't have been in this instance if they didn't have their own issues.

Missed the last sentence when I replied. Nope. Never had another party. Months later, during the Christmas season (the one before we returned to Illinois) his wife showed up at our front door one evening while we were having dinner. She had a cake she’d baked. My wife answered and the woman’s actual words were “Are you the woman of the house?”

Let’s put this in context. We’d been living next door to them for 3 1/2 years by the time this occurred. That about puts things into context between our house and theirs.
