That was heartbreaking! Geez Louise.
Okay, now I'm about 2/3rds the way through. Very, very good. I can really relate to looking back and realizing I had supressed certain feelings.

In many ways, there is no difference. Now if only the Church would get the memo and stop blaming the ex-Mormons for coming to their own conclusions about what is best for themselves.

That's a really excellent question. I guess it's life experience. I know one in high authority who once had a similar experience and is still very active. People respond to experience differently, and it would be a mistake to try to assert that one path is best for all.

Simon, before you answer this next question, keep in mind that the LDS Church ≠FAIR/NAMIRS/mopologetics.
Now, why does mopologetices seem so obviously insincere?
