11/22/11 (the late) DOUG KOSTERS & I NEVER HAD A HOMOSEXUAL RELATIONSHIP part 3...neither he nor I were homosexual, I can assure u, but there r those in the calvinistic community (in which I grew up) who will gossip & make innuendo ..I know some of the kosters family look at me with raised eyebrows now..as if there was something strange between doug & I but I assure eveerybody there was NOTHING "WEIRD" going on between doug & I..we were friends..we had a group of friends (rick byle, jack holwerda, steve korhorn, keith steensma, et al...none of whom were/are homosexual,...all are married now except me & keith for whatever that's worth..altho rick died in a snowmobile accident..its a shame I have to go online & make this declaration, but its the way my (former) grand rapids operates, its a self-serving "suspicion"..shameful...I was & am heterosexual, Christian,..and if I never get married I will remain celibate single...like a good priest..married to the church.. some of the "friends" of doug didn't even go to his funeral..and they live there in GR...I flew back for the funeral..having always had a spiritual concern for this group of friends..whom I love (as a Christian) & pray for..there's nothing "weird" about that..unless u think Jesus is weird..& I would hope they "love" & pray for me as Christian brothers as well ..shame on those who try to raise their eyebrows & make suggestive comments or innuendo that marginalizes people..its unChristian & sinful to do so..these people would raise eyebrows about Jesus being single & hanging out with same-sex disciples..& they call themselves "Christians"? they call themselves "Calvinists"? shame on them. Doug commit suicide for whatever reason, but no thaks to some people who call themselves Christian..
