Thank you for your views....but i think you have the wrong idea of my thread...i'm simply trying to find somethings to do in my spare time that arent' sinful...i'm not out to judge anyone or say they will go to hell or any of that...i think your talking about a whole diff subject, unless i'm understanding you incorrectly
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 19774795 I don't believe he/she was accusing you of these things at all - but warning you not to be influenced/swayed by those who identify with the same designation as you but act the way that was outlined above.
Regarding your current friends. What made you call these people your friends in your life? Do you see any good in their hearts, or are they truly bad seeds? The reason I ask is because you don't necessarily need to 'ditch' your friends, only ditch their INFLUENCE over your life if you do not resonate with their choices or activities. They don't sound like 'bad' people to me the way you decribed them in this thread.
You don't have to write these people off. Why not maintain your relationships but serve as a positive example for others in your life? If they see you taking the high road/path and not partaking in activities/behaviors that you consider to be detrimental or harmful, maybe your discretion and restraint will begin to rub off on them? Did you ever think about that?
It would be a shame for you to lose relationships or friendships that you invested time & energy into just because you perceive others as now being 'different' from your new philosophical mindset. Don't try and change anyone, just let them observe the example that you set.
