I agree. It’s hard, though, when it’s friends you personally cautioned out of your care for them - not wanting to lose them. Friends you hoped would listen and give a sober second thought. Especially hard when it’s Christian friends, ones you thought would be more discerning, yet they think nothing of listening to complete strangers on the boob tube who tell them what to do, instead of trusted friends or family who they KNOW care for them. I feel like they forgot their Shepherd, and followed the wolf in sheep’s clothing. I didn’t warn many of my family or friends because the ones I did warn didn’t listen. And I wanted to respect their decision the same way I wanted them to respect mine. I had just SO hoped I would be wrong. There is no satisfaction in having been right this time.
