Nah I will call. That may be the end of it though depending on
how it goes down.
He was a total geek. He smarted off to me when he first moved
in and I kicked his ass. I remember when it was over he was on
the ground crying and his step dad yelled at him to quit crying
and get in the house. I felt sorry for him. After that I
helped him out and stuck up for him. I told him to ditch the
glasses and get contacts and to get rid of the bowl cut and grow
his hair long.
After that he started getting chicks and got a little full of
himself. He got into drugs (his older brother and sister
already where into them and his step dad wasn't interested in
him) I never really did. Smoked a few joints here and there. A
guy I worked with at ace hardware showed me how to make a sneak
a toke from the parts there. Lent it to him and got the "throw
out the window" story. Guessing it was not lost and he just
wanted to keep it.
Anyway he did drive me back and forth to work for awhile (in my
car, my gas) while he was living with me when I couldn't drive
after I had a siezure and he was not a bad guy. Just got lost
along the way. Glad he found his way just hoping I am talking
to a an old friend that is not a dickhead bible thumper when I
call.
He was a good friend for a few years before the drugs and ego
took over.
Funny thing I always took pleasure in was after highschool he
was banging this snooty rich girl that was all the shit in
highschool. She had this sweet Camaro and she would not let
anyone smoke in it (I get it now but not then). He wrapped it
around a tree while he was all fucked up but told her and her
parents that a deer ran out in front of him...

let's see...he throws away your pipe because he sees a cop and
he's paranoid?
You are worried about talking to him because you see a minister?
Seems like paranoia is something you have in common.

Keys, Have you ever met someone that made a drastic shift like
this in their life? Especially at first they can be WAY over
the top. They usually go overboard with the religious thing and
it is all consuming to them and they want everyone else to be
consumed by it also. One look at his facebook page tells me
that is where he is at right now. Every single picture on his
facebook page is of religious symbols except one picture of him
and his wife getting married and of course it has religious
symbols behind them. Eventually people tend to find a balance
but I doubt he is there yet.
I am happy it looks like he has turned his life around. He was
definately headed in the wrong direction.
Keys you also have to understand while I believe in god and pray
I do not care for organized religion at all. I do not feel the
need to be "saved" or help in finding my relationship with God.
I already have my personal relationship with God and do not need
others to tell me my way is right or wrong. I figure God is the
best judge not other people. Some religious people especially
fanatics tend to push their view points on others.
Of course then there is my beer drinking, deer hunting (he has
deer antlers mounted on his lawn tractor) Jehovah's Witness
neighbor that never says a word about religion to me. Well
except for the one time he was admiring the giant pumpkin I had
grown and asked me what I was going to do with it. I told him
celebrate Halloween, you know Satan's holiday that you guys
frown upon. He just said, "Yeah, we don't care for that" and
we moved on.
Oh and the time he was doing some group discussions at church
and they were talking about sex and some mentally challenged
teenage boy told him that some other boy played with his weenie.
The kid was quite proud of it and obviously had no clue. He
was running the class and was dumbfounded as to what to say. I
guess he talked to the kids parents after the class and told
them so they could look into it. But man not something I would
have wanted to deal with.

I just don't think you should assume that he's going to preach
to you. He just may, but you sounded a bit like Cletus for
awhile there by assuming that he was immediately going to try to
"save you". I'm sure you run into deeply religious people
everyday and just don't know it because they don't preach.
As for your neighbor and the pumpkin...sounds like you were the
one doing the tweaking with the Satans holiday thing.

You seem to me like the one who was being a bit defensive Keys.
I don't have a problem with anyones religion as long as they
don't go over the top preaching to me.
Oh and I was the one giving my neighbor crap just like the time
his lawn tractor (with the deer antlers) ran out of gas in front
of my house (he was giving his kids a ride in the cart behind
it) and he pushed it onto my lawn while he walked home to get
more gas. When he came back he told me his tractor was
increasing the value of my home...
I was just joking with him the way guys do. He didn't take any
offense and none was meant. He had no problem drinking another
one of my beers either afterwards.

I'm with you in that I don't like peoples religion thrown at me
either. I was just pointing out that it may have been a bit
paranoid on your part to assume that he would do that to the
point of having trepidation about calling him. Not a big
deal...just sayin.

"saved", now we all must be "saved".
