Throughout this whole situation, I have been wondering. It's striking, the similarities between the two of us: How we both employ manipulation, the "smooth talk", the controlling of information flow, the insistence of our way, and the enjoyment of the praises of men.
It scares me to my core that I can imagine myself like you... if given the time and the motive.
Maybe this is God's way of warning me. The narrow path is a hard path. One which a person must use concentrated effort and discipline to remain on it. All I know is, I want this to end... and soon.
I don't want to sound judgmental. However, measured against Scripture, what you are doing is wrong. God will be the judge in the end. Regardless of how this is spinned, I will be vindicated.
Still, it's not the gossip, or my reputation that I worry about...it's that...
...we're not so different.

To some extent, I think we all have that potential, given the right circumstances and motives. But being aware is the first step to avoidance, no?
