I think your first step should be changing your sig line to something that's truthful and positive. You aren't what you claim to be!

Step up, Mich. You are a better person than that. I've been praying for ya.

It may not be positive, but I can't say that in the eyes of your average conservative Apostolic it is untruthful. I have always tried to be transparent and above board. However, I could add the disclaimer *but God loves me anyway, if it would make you feel better

My friend, I'm not sure why you say that you are seen that way in the eyes of the average conservative Apostolic. Are you believing that because you saw people like yourself in that light when you were conservative Apostolic and are judging yourself as you once judged others?

I ask that because that's how I am. Nobody can judge me more harshly than I judge myself, and I think it's due to how I judged others most of my life while being raised in the church. So when I was no longer conservative, I saw myself as I saw others who no longer were conservative.

Does that make sense?
