Did you lose your "best friends" over leaving?

[_Mercury]

One other thing that I have noticed as well...

Those that leave the church and take it upon themselves to educate their member friends of all the dirt they have just uncovered will soon find that the member friends don't want to hang out with them any more. The apostate then blames the member friends for being too self-righteous and blinded by the stupid cult. The friends are just sick of hearing it.

and you speak as if it is the exmormon who is at fault for breaking the friendship. You remind me of the type of person who would feel guilty if you were to tell someone their spouse was cheating on them.

Oh quit it. There is a time and place for everything, and if your happiness depends on letting every Mormon know that they're living a LIE AND A FRAUD, then there is something personally wrong with you.

I do not spend time debating the church with my friends. I have accepted that they have chosen their path, and many had the same concerns I had, but made different choices.

Respect is mutual.

Heres the thing. Its the asinine mormonisms that demand a response. Its the interpretation of life through Mormon memes that drive me batty. Its not that my best friend is a lazy dumbass and lost his job, its that god is testing him. Its not that their child lucked out and survived cancer, its that God blessed them for being Mormon. Sometimes a verbal WTF is necessary for the exmormon to remain able to stomach the farse these dumbasses live.

I wish this thread included the experiences of never's.

Of course I didn't lose my best friend over leaving the LDS church. I lost my best friend (of nearly 10 years) on account of weird things she started to say and do to my kid that simply astounded me and perhaps oh, I don't know, a year or two later she found out that I was investigating Mormonism...and it went straight into the toilet after that and I mean like totally flushed.
