Hang on, I need more details. This employee "fell hard" for a girl in another state, and went to "visit" her there, only to then discover she was a religious nut? How did they even meet? And if she's this religious, how could you have missed the countless red flags beforehand? Does she hold off on the reading assignments until you physically come to her home?
People like this are proud of being such backwards, Bible-thumbing morons. They wear this shit on their sleeve. That must have been quite the bamboozle to get them out to visit only to then spring that on them.
But hey, at least it was only Revelations, which is easily the most entertaining of the books in the Bible, in so far as reading any of them could ever seriously be considered enjoyable.
Neighboring countries. He is also very religious, but is a pretty normal guy otherwise. A little shy. Met her online and rushed a little quickly into meeting her after they had hit it off. He knew about the Revelations thing beforehand and told me it sounded a little odd. I asked him if she was a Jehova's Witness (suspecting she was trying to convert him maybe?), but he said he didn't think so. I didn't ask any more questions about that part, but I guess the visit has gone well enough. Things quickly fell apart afterward, though.
