Needless to say, although I spoke very lovingly, some of them had the nerve to be offended. I said, "but it's the truth!" "In love!" They started off on some defense about heredity and medical conditions and such, and I said incredulously "You want me to believe you were BORN THIS WAY?"
Well, as you can imagine, our Sunday morning crowed "thinned out" a bit, but I felt good knowing that I had provided gentle correction in love, and that they will probably get everything straightened out and come back to church at some point now that they know the truth.
