The "Queen Lady's" Religion
The "Queen Lady" was a new convert to my church when she first met my family and me. Since then, she asked to have her membership removed from the church nearly 20 years ago. From what I've seen, she's been somewhat floundering around the area of religion over the years. And she developed some paranoid ideas of hell and doomsday issues [that was before she left my church]. It's been reported this lady has told her paranoid ideas to others; and they've been confused about what my church believes! When I've had a chance, I've written to make some corrections; and I've mentioned people should speak to a pastor of the church if they need better information. [By now, this woman seems to be more stable, from what I last heard. She had been associating with Jews somewhat, although she earlier said she didn't want to believe in any particular religion.] *** There were some single women I met in the church up north when the "Queen Lady" was still attending there. It turned out later that one or two of them had gay interests of their own; and one specifically told me not too many years ago that she'd like to find a female partner. I had gradually become aware of this interest of hers, although she wasn't meaning to harass me about it [and she didn't]. She had also told me she didn't want to talk about my legal matters any more.--Earlier I used to call and ask her advice sometimes. In my case, my legal problems have continued--whether other people wanted to discuss them or not! And some ladies in the north also began holding their own church services in their homes, rather than worshipping with our church.--When I travelled north, I didn't see them. For the record, I don't judge these ladies--not to say they all have the same interests. If I've referred to the Queen lady as a friend, it's not because I've sympathized with all her views.--I certainly haven't! My life has gone on a different path and so have other people--kind of a fork in the road. People change. Maybe we'll meet again sometime, maybe not. I don't want to condemn anyone--for sure not. It's just that my life is different now. [Am still working on some issues but am quite clear about my feelings otherwise.]
