We had a neighbor that one day "found" religion, before she was open-minded and wasn't afraid to have a couple of drinks or tell or listen to a dirty joke and an overall fun person. Then one day, she came over and tried to get us to come to her "church", we refused. She stopped being "fun" and the conversation always turned to her "church", so we distanced ourselves from her.
We both have daughters that we real close in age and played together quite often, and she convinced us to let our daughter go with them to church one night (she was 5 at the time). When our daughter got back she was upset, they had told her that we were going to hell because we wouldn't go to their church. So there goes the friendship, cut all ties and told her why. We moved a few months later, but our kids went to the same school we did see her often enough. A few years later she had moved on from her "church", and was back to her old self again, but the damage was done. The "church" was a non-denominational one, and after what she told us I'm wary of those (most are ok I guess, some scream..cult) this one screamed cult.
