It's external perception might be changing

Thank you everyone for your thoughts. Yes, of course I didn't start off with what are your thoughts about the phrase "love the sin hate the sinner". ;) It was a great conversation. I too love to just hear peoples stories from their perspective so that is what I did I listened to their story and ...

I am meeting tonight with a wonderful never mo married lesbian couple to talk about their life, my transition, LGBTQ issues and religion. As I was thinking about what we were going to talk about I thought people on NOM might have some good questions to ask. So I am opening it up to you all. An ...

Korihor/Miss Perhaps I missed it, but... Was there any point at which the SP said he would feed your concerns back up the church hierarchy? If not, it makes a bit of the sham - it would seem the voting system is merely a process of weeding out the non-conformists. Yes, he did say we could write a ...

I mostly stayed quiet throughout the meeting. But when asked to give a yes or no to sustaining the brotheren, I responded similar to Kori stating that I can sustain them as prophets, seers, revelators. But I disagree with policy's being made. I explained I feel they have gotten things wrong in the ...

Thank you everyone for your support and sharing your similar stories. With littles running around it's hard for me to be super active on this discussion board but I really appreciate when I can sit down and read your comments and thoughts. - I feel more love and support from you NOM strangers than I ...

I hate to blame everything on gender, but sometimes I really have to wonder about it all. Thank you for your thoughts! Isn't it sad that we have to say "I hate to blame everything on gender" as if we are out of line blaming it on gender when it is fact we get overlooked, talked down to or not ...

To be honest, you guys probably confuse the hell out of them. So they pull back rather than embrace. This is a symptom of the black and white, all or nothing, attitude in the church. Red Ryder, We probably are confusing the hell out of our ward and no one knows how to talk to us. I personally have ...

Give it time, Thank you for your experience. I've seen that happen in the church many times too. People in leadership begin to think they are inspired to tell others what is best for their lives. That is seriously messed up what that RSP did to you. - Sorry Kori LOVES your quote my quote comes from ...

Did anyone want to listen to you for an explanation? My experience is they want to visit you and either make small talk for 45 minutes, or bear their testimony. They don't want to listen. :( Thanks for your posts. Decon blues, No one has taken the time to ask or listen to my explanation or ...

So, two weeks ago I posted I left church feeling sick about the teachings and had decided not to attend church for a while. I told the Bishop I wouldn't be attending and a very nosy (not sincerely) nosy lady in the ward. Thus everyone in the ward knows I will not be attending for a while. Last night ...

Yes.

Shoot!! I was logged in as Korihor. That last post by him was really ME.

No, you don't sound like a hypocrite at all. I guess I forgot for a moment how difficult it can be to transition. I had feelings similar to your's just last year. I get it. I was trying to cheer you on, but I understand it's not that simple. No worries Shawn, I actually do appreciate your comments ...

I would let it slide. Most of the time people dont realize what they say can come across as hurtful. My major mistake was how i presented my new belief. Looking back i sounded like i was trying to justify my own choices by mentioning why i dont believe anymore. My close family could have taken it ...

In Mrs. Doubtfire when Robin Williams asks his brother to make him a woman and his brother bursts into a joyous hug and says, "I'm so happy for you"! Your family isn't doing that. It's the word "still". When I homeschooled my son, my father said, "you do what you need to do to raise your son to be ...

Korihor, How have you not been kicked out of this group yet?

When my son was young, he'd occasionally dress up in or play with girls' things. I didn't encourage nor did I shame. Frankly, I had two sons and there wasn't a whole lot of girls'stuff in the house. However, he was curious but I'd breathe a sigh of relief when I'd see him gravitate back toward the ...

Hold on a gosh dang minute. Are you really saying you might feel guilty? We're talking about skipping out on an organization that teaches people to pay them before buying food for children and refuses to disclose how they use the money. Sunday School left you "boiling with anger and full of sorrow ...

I spoke with my TBM sister and mother today and explained to them I wasn't going to attend church anymore in more words then that but I wanted to know everyones thoughts on their response which was. " Well we still love you" and "we don't want this to come between us" Although very kind words and I ...
