So now I've found several more people from my distant past on Facebook. All females, slightly older than me, people I knew from the Baptist church I attended as a teenager back in the 1970s. I was pretty good friends with them back then, but have been out of touch with all for 30 years or more.I want to add them as friends, but am not sure it's a good idea.
They're all still into being "saved" and being born-again Christians and into the Bible and church and all that, and, well... I'm not any longer and haven't been for a very long time.
I miss these gals, but do I really want them reading stuff on my profile page like "Religious Views: 'I need God, not the political church.'" (quoted from a Sam Phillips song from the '90s...)
Do I really want them viewing my Ayn Rand quotes under "Favorite Quotations"? Or knowing I joined groups like "All the Gay Men on Facebook"? Or "I Believe in The Secret/Law Of Attraction"? Or that I'm currently reading a book titled "Ordaining Reality: The Science Behind the Power of Positive Thinking" which ties in stuff from quantum physics and Eastern philosophy?
Do I really want them to know how much I've changed since they knew me? Would they judge me? Would they start preaching at me?
I wish I knew what to do. I liked these people a lot all those years ago, and I'd love to catch up with them again, but I'm not into the same things as they are anymore.
Should I take the leap or let sleeping dogs lie? Anyone reading this have any thoughts?
