Are your old fundy friends still your friends?

[Perry]

I too an still attending my fundy church, but I believe if I left fundyism physically (I've already pretty much left mentally), I would still have them as acquaintances (depending on how much I "change") but I would be the object of sermon illustrations and gossip. I have heard too many judgmental bits of gossip for me to believe they would not talk about me (any more than they probably already do. I've never been very close friends with any of them despite my attending most of my life there).
