Hello door!

You mean the one where I'm referring to AronRa's deconversion? It went something more along the lines of, Aron wasn't sure if the feelings he was having were a genuinely spiritual experience or not, and the preacher grabbed him by the shoulders, shook him, and said "Just keep telling yourself it's Jesus til you believe it!" It was such a blatantly dishonest thing to have said, he couldn't help but have abandoned ship after hearing it.

Nope, that was me, my teen pastor, my door.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.
