I've said before that I've been privileged to watch one of these self-denigrating performances where I actually knew the fellow in his pre-"saved" condition.

He attended my elementary school.

He attended my church.

We spent plenty of our spare time together playing in the neighborhood.

There certainly weren't drugs or "bad influences" that I had noticed. I don't think that I was a "bad influence" for him, either.

There was only about a year in between when I last saw him and he showed up giving a presentation on how much better he was doing in his new life than in his wicked old life.

This made me re-evaluate the rest of the confessional tales I had been told, and treat new ones with skepticism.

This is amazingly coincidental.

I attended my elementary school.

I attended my church.

I spent plenty of my spare time playing with myself in the neighborhood.

And there certainly weren't...

Oh. Never mind.
