I usually handle personal matters via PM, but since he won’t respond to me here or by email, this is my only place to vent my frustrations.
I met with a “friend” from the lounge for the first time on Sunday. He wanted me to try what he called a new soda, it tasted a little different from anything I’ve ever had but it wasn’t bad. After 3-4 I started feeling light headed, I just assumed that my blood sugar level was rising because I’m used to drinking diet. I went straight from his house to church Sunday night, and after our meeting, my pastor called me back into his office and asked why I smelled of alcohol. I told him what happened, that this person let me try this new soda he had made.
Long story short, as you guys know we don’t drink any form of alcohol and this person knew it…but lied to me and gave it to me anyway. This morning I got word that the church board met last night and removed me as Associate Pastor, and they also sent word to our District Board (on which I also serve), and they are also removing me from my position, and I have to go before them next month before they decide whether or not to revoke my license.
I’m trying to keep this person’s name out of it, but do I have any recourse against him? I just want my life back; his deception has cost me everything that I’ve spent most of my life trying to establish.
