Since leaving the Family I have learned to take people on a very surface level and never trust them entirely. It takes me a long while to trust someone. I am naturally very friendly and make friends easy, I can talk very deeply about things, but when it comes to my personal trust in a person, it doesn't come easy.

So, how could I 'trust' a Family person, I can't, I wouldn't, I know what they truly believe and how they truly look at me in their hearts and are probably judging me. But I also know it's a load of crap and when we get to Heaven I believe there will be some suprises and that Jesus isn't really looking at me the way they are.

But, I can be friendly, I can talk, I can have a BBQ, I can have a 'surface' friendship with them, I could even go so far as to start digging into their hearts and asking them questions to pull out their 'doubts' and things, but it would never go further then a surface relationship with me and I would never trust them with my inner feelings, inner battles, I trust many of you here more than I would them.
