I am not afraid to post stuff.If I was I would not.
Never attended that con.I do Gen Con and Little Wars almost every year.
The reason I did not become a priest is because I saw how full of shit the Church could be.It caused me to lose faith in not only God but myself.
I was in my second year of high school at Quigley South.It was right around Christmas time.We had to keep journals,ie diaries.For religion class.We would on a weekly basis hand them over to be read by our religion teachers for the purpose of making sure we did assignments and put down our thoughts. Now remember this is 15-16 year old boys we are talking about who are thinking about some serious stuff like giving up women and such.Well this one teacher let some of the contents of a students journal be known to the class.That he was going to be asking out a girl. This guy,Joe and I where teammates on the swim team.The girl was one of our timekeepers.Well the night he was going to ask her out ,his entire class showed up and goaded and ridiculed him from the gallery.She turned him down due to among other things the display being put on.After the meet him and I went to our school locker,we where about 10 feet apart.He had an argument with another member of the team.Joe and I left we took the same bus most of the way home.He was crying and going on about what went down in class.He told me then and there he was going to kill himself.I was shaken because this was a normally straight and level person,who did not let things get to him. I got home called the guy who he had the fight with we talked for about 5 min then called the coach who was also my counculair and a priest. We agreed we needed to intervene.I called his house between all these calls I had gt home before him but I made the critical mistake of not telling his parents what was going on before talking to my coach.By the time anyone got in touch with his family he took his fathers service revolver and shot himself in the chest ,killing himself.
That was on a Friday , on Monday I was told I had to talk to the police about what went down.I was informed by The Principal,the religion teacher(who later was defrocked for being a pedophile) and a few other staff members was I to mention the involvement of the school/teacher in the affair. I did the right thing and told the truth. Within 5 days I was asked to leave the school due to "formation" issues.After that I stopped going to church and believing in God,it took a long time for me to rediscover my faith. I now attend church every Sunday and am active,I think my Faith is pretty strong.
