I think sometime in 2005. I had been dating a girl from a foreign country that was over 30 was living in the dorms and she wanted me to get permission from JS to date her. Prior to that, our dates were meeting her in her bus route area and around Chicago and Northwest Indiana. I had already helped her get caught up on her school bill as she was about to get withdrawn. She was so poor and alone in America, that I had to even had help her cover her food expenses when working at her off campus job and some other stuff - clothes, make up etc. The week I was to meet JS she said wanted me to help her get an apartment and a car, so she could move off campus and freely see me as an adult woman.
I met JS in his office after the morning service and he assured me he loved me and that I was a wonderful Christian man that had had some struggles, but knew I was on track and growing. He kept repeatedly saying that he gave his blessings for us dating. JS told me I was a great guy and this girl would be blessed to get to know me better and work towards a relationship. He did say that he wanted to get with my current pastor and have him counsel me on some things and that he would let the girl know he gave this relationship the thumbs up.
Fast forward a week, my pastor hands me a letter he received from JS basically saying he did not want a heathen, reprobate like me anywhere near "one his girls" (maybe he wanted to keep her for himself? She was Spanish, beautiful and young). I talked to the girl via phone that day and she said JS had contacted the college (specifically Belinda Casteel or whatever name she now sports) and I was forbidden to speak to her. She said she could never talk to me again.
What a blessing!! Shortly after that, God sent a wonderful girl my way and now we have been married going on 8 heavenly years. I can honestly say she is the perfect soul mate for me. We get along splendidly, never a harsh word spoken and we are enjoying every single minute being together!!
Thanks Jack for being a deceitful, little man by saying one thing and doing another and keeping me from making a HUGE mistake. If he had not lied and sanctioned me dating this other girl, I quite possibly never would have met and married God's will for me!!!
