So stoked you're doing this AMA, Sadie! I have two questions, one more general and one more personal:
If someone is proselytizing at me (not sure that's exactly the grammatically correct way to say it, but, you know, trying to convert me) how can I "escape" the situation quickly without being mean to them/hurting their feelings? (Where I live, I mostly come across this with Scientologists, and I feel bad because I know these are folks in a legit cult doing emotionally draining work for little or no pay and I don't want to make their day worse by being a jerk.) What were the nicest/kindest ways people told you "no thank you" back in your soul-winning days? What did you actually appreciate?
Did you explore any other religions or Christian denominations between leaving the IFB and finding Catholicism?
