For years I thought that I was such a valiant spirit in the pre existence that i signed up to be deaf...yep...that is what I wanted in very musical family..

Woot...contact him...he is so willing and waiting to help you. Really...this is where one finds that his ancestors/posterity is built on a faulty foundation..and this is the time to share and become friends in a realm where there is a level of shame in all that prosperity..return and report please ...

Wow..how times have changed...parents..microphones..pictures...are kidding me?? Wow...this is not even close to my own experience...
If edited..it is because pretty much all blessings are the same..at least for women. But I hope you added some more info anyway!!

The thing is..kindness is a wonderful thing..but really...what you did was let yourself be yourself in being upfront, honest..and with no guile..speak your truth. I thought you did the right thing...I went in and around and under...and all I did was hurt myself and others..slowly. So I admire you ...

Time to talk pros and cons...there has to be a reason for disaffection in the first place..and with that the knowledge that he has choices witout the church..that will be stifled within. I don't think you can play games..but some questions on why he wants to give up any choice? Keep us posted..I ...

Thank you so much for your reply and info. You sound peaceful inside yourself. Like you know who you are. I love that.

Hey..I know that integrity..real truth..and being genuine in love and friendship..doesn't always hug you back..but you have what others do not have..real self respect. Hugs to you..I admire you and you know..the church doesn't have anything over you love for spouse and family and their for you. Be ...

If this was said to me by a random person...I would simply say bull shit. When tragedy strikes..and it is from a family member..I try hard with patience but often say..there is no good reason. You guys are nice..I must be a real stinker!!

I just want to say...Woot!! This is all good news to me and I am surprised!!

FYI..should the calls keep coming and you just want to deal with it. Ask to do in your home on your terms. It really does make a difference.
Best to you!!

Hey...I have had this happen to me and they kept coming back. I would talk to them at the door and really never invited them in...but my issues were stated kindly and they asked ME questions..Helen Mar was a big question mark to one of them. Personally..I think they want to know more from you. Try ...

I did not know what real depression was until Ieft the church..you mix anger and depression..it spells help. Get some. I ended up going to a counselor...on prozac..and it has taken many years to develop self esteem outside the church that so reveled in my service and devotion. I had to regain the ...

Wow..I wish that I had a letter like this many moons ago for my own father. Be prepared to send it one day..time will tell. I wish you and famiy many, many good things.

I don't know if you all know this..I havent' read the whole thread here. On youtube the guy that wrote this apology explains why. It will change you mind maybe on the reason he was so provocative about doing this. I was angry at him too...but he changed my mind..it is like..what else can you do? I ...

Is there anyone here that can meet up in Logan..(Cache Valley) or even in Brigham City?? Let me know!! I would love to meet all of you!!

I am a resigned ex member...no longer LDS but lives in Utah with relatives who are. They are in need of pain relieves to cancer and other things. That being said...as a non member I don't like the fact the the church gets a say in the relief of pain to members of my family..Pain relief without the ...

What all of this means..even in the heartbreak..is that the church is not doing what members believe are right. And this is membership that is being told that they, too, have a right to personal revelation. The dam needs to break. Members: Stand up and speak up knowing your right as members and ...

Wishing you the best. Your courage in the first steps speaks volumes for your own integrity and self esteem.

Thank you for the link!!
