Ive never been in an accountability type environment. You folks talk about it as if its a normal thing christians do, but I dont think Ive ever been in that environment. Recently Ive had someone try to do that, asking me things about certain struggles I had admitted I had (non-bl related), but I backed off immediately and came very close to saying 'its none of your business'. In fact, looking back on it...that is probaly what I insinuated, and its probably the reason the person gave up asking and no longer brings up those spiritual issues. Its only now that you guys make this comparison to something you claim is normal that I realize that perhaps it is. I guess I just havent had many christian friends, I always consider religion a very personal and private thing. Im beginning to understand the concept of accountability though. Although I must admit...Im still not sure its for me. Im just a very private person. |
