That is exactly what happened to me! Now me and people like me get accused of the same things he was accused of.
I'll never forget a sermon Moses Hightower preached in Columbus at a District conference. It messed me up and cracked my "armor" of ultra-conservatism. It was all down hill from there........all the way down to the altar!

Just my opinion, MOW, but that is a horrible parallel to apply to men of conviction who preach the blood and mercy of Jesus.
Apply it to yourself if you wish, but leave the other men to their convictions. I am thankful that you found a place in your life where you could "get real" and shed your religiosity. I just wish your tolerance was as great for them as you expect theirs to be of you.
OOPS.. I just noticed that Sis. LPW answered your post and said it much more succinctly than I did...
AMAZING!
