Oh, you poor man -- having to find yourself in such a sticky predicament. In a situation like this, I like to think of what the

would do. Just because we are to love our neighbor does not mean that we are to let them tempt us into wrongdoing. And, in your case, dear Brother Ishmael, I think it would be very unwise if you were to let yourself be swayed by unsavory, unholy persons with nefarious intentions!
But, let us examine what the blessed Word of Almighty

-- the

-- has to say about such situations:
Matthew 4:10 "Then

said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the

your

, and

only you shall serve.'"
I Corinthians 15:33 " Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners."
Psalm 1:1 "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful."
Proverbs 6:27 "Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?"
Proverbs 22:24,25:
24 Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go:
25 Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.
Exodus 22:20 "He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the

only, he shall be utterly destroyed."
Now, then, these are but a few of the instructions that the

has left for us in

. I so hope that this will be helpful to you, as you study this so very carefully. And, I do thank you for thinking to ask the

servants of the

for assistance, before becoming entangled in a situation that would have placed you in peril. May

bless you as you seek

Will.
