"So they tell me you were a Bible worker."
Ahhh, my reputation precedes me. Am I branded in my forehead or something??
"Yes, I was."
"Did you go to any particular training for that?"
"Well, I went to a little Bible college called SOULS West."
--Ensuing conversation about different qualifications for being a Bible worker--
"So you've given up Bible work, then?"
"Yes, I have."
"But not given up on the Bible?"
"No, of course not!"
And I wonder... what would happen if I told the truth about the matter, rather than just my politically/religiously correct knee-jerk response?
But, really, how do you sum up such a complicated phase in your journey in just a few words? And I don't feel like explaining all of this to a stranger... much less this kind of stranger.
I guess sometimes it's better to just let sleeping dogs lie.
So much for authenticity.
