This is why I never "friend" current co-workers.

In light of my Mormon story I was talking about it with some of the folks at work both Mormon and non-Mormon. Up popped some very interesting stories. One person I sit next to was happy to tell me all about the time he was on "mission" in Brazil. The other told me she grew up as a Mormon, was married young to an abusive husband and was forced to run away for ten years and change her identity and leave the church. The funny part was that after she reclaimed her name 10 years later, she got a bill from the church for the 10 years of tithes she missed. Anyway, she got remarried to a non-Mormon and they belong to a Baptist Church. We didn't have time to talk long but it's a very compelling story. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not Mormon bashing here. I do have some strongly held beliefs about their beliefs but it's not something I care to get into here. I have friends who are generational Mormans and friends who were converts and then quit the church so I do know a lot about Mormans from both sides of the fence so to speak. And for now, I think I will sit right on that fence.

Not only don't I "friend" current co-workers but I try never to mention the name of the company I work for. And, I also don't go into great detail on personal matters. Yes, I do bring up some tuff stuff sometimes but it's never much about details, more of an overall view.
