I finally discovered that as I concentrate on cleaning my side of the street (so to speak), the opinion of others that are still in that old disease process that I experienced has little value to me.

It's this kind of thing, the implication that I somehow failed at being a Mormon or was too stupid to understand what the church really teaches, that brings back a lot of the hurt and even bitterness. Runtu: Of course you "failed at being a[n Internet] Mormon.. you spent the first four decades...

98% of the anger I experienced vanished when I stopped posting.. It is a poison for the soul.. Hi Runtu, I poked my head in for a short moment to read your op. There is life beyond Mormonism. Take with you what is good. You owe the church nothing for it. It was there long before they came and twist...

yes, because it is so shocking to imagine a woman under the age of 18 being married in the early 19th century! No. Specifically, it is shocking to those of us that hold fast to traditional family values that he was a hoarder of mistresses. Tragic the families of these women did not liberate the ear...

I always saw Satan in the temple as a grandiose blusterer. Kind of like Droopy, bcspace, Will Schryver, Daniel Peterson, Bill Hamblin, and Lou Midgley .

Kevin: Wouldn't your wife prefer Mormonism proper? If so, could you perhaps attend the LDS church with your wife and do what another person suggested and simply decline all callings and not pay tithing? Besides, it's a church you're already extremely familiar with. Yes, I'm being 100% serious. In a...

Atheists are less likely to end up in jail. (Atheists comprise 15% of US population, however, only 1% of US Prison population are non-believers.) This statistic is slightly off, PP. When an atheist is sent to prison, he finds Jesus (because that's where Jesus is). That is why there are very few ath...

I appreciate your patience with me, Inc, but I really do think I understand. The LDS Jesus isn't the if-you-have-two-coats-give-one-to-the-poor-Jesus, he's more of an obey-the-word-of-wisdom-and-do-your-ordinances-Jesus. They need big, white, richly appointed buildings to obey this Jesus. The way I...
