You are embarassed ?
I wouldn't be embarrassed if I didn't know what someone was rambling on about. I'd say "No, I have no belief in or knowledge of this entity".

it used to make me sick at these hypocrites.. they would be at the meeting the next day or out in field service, obviously still intoxicated from the night before but putting a show on before the congregation.

after taking a quick look at news headlines, and seeing the crap going on around us, i personally don't find that so hard to believe.

it saddens me greatly to see all that has happened and to see my friends in this position.
for me its a great loss but i hope that it will only be temporary.
