Dear Lily; Yes my sub-conscious/rational mind did test the fruit. That was the basis of me "Blowing out" and leaving. I discovered John was a drunk. I discovered that he lived a lifestyle in a Hollywood neighborhood that I would likely never live. I discovered that "we" were paying for it all with they lives of our youth.
I discovered my Pastor had "purposely kept us in the dark" to "protect us" from all that had and was going on - the one guy (after John) that I'd trusted with my life, he'd lied to me.
It put everything I'd been taught, all the "revelations" I'd had into question. Looking back, testing the fruit led me to the brink of a psychological break. I stopped believing much of anything. I survived, scarred but alive. I know some that did better, I know some who didn't do as well.
Reading through this forum has been like going through an old shoe box from the closet. A lot of stuff that I'd thought I'd thrown out years ago. Some stuff I'd saved and cherished. God Bless Lily Rose.
