When did you earn God's love?
This. Exactly. No matter how hard I tried, I was never good enough. I wasn’t even as good in the church’s eyes as my sexually abusive father. No, his repentance was worth several hours each week for YEARS. My recovery from having been abused was not worth mybishop’s time at all. Because being a woman, I could never be worth much. Only the babies I had were worth anything, mostly the boy. He wasn’t even out of the hospital before some stupid nurse saw on the medical records that we were Mormon, and got all gushy about “our future missionary” and how great it was to have a boy because going on a mission was the most important thing in the world, unless you were female and then God just wanted you married and making babies. She was falling all over herself gushing about “our” future missionary as if the church owns him. Oh, come on. He isn’t 12 hours old yet. Can we wait just a bit to celebrate his mission? I was neauseous and I promise it wasn’t morning sickness. Oh, sure there had been Mormon nurses and or doctors with my previous births and no mention of any expected greatness, or even any mention of religion. Idiot nurse didn’t have any idea if we were active or not and we were in Florida, and with my first child born in Germany the other Obgyn was my branch president. And with my second, half the hospital staff was Mormon because we were near the Mormon corridor. But nobody thought a Mormon girl was anything to congratulate. It was puke worthy that she assumed we might want him on a mission in over 19 years, let alone that the mission was the highlight of his whole life.wtfluff wrote: ↑Sun Apr 06, 2025 7:43 pmApologies?

It's easy to answer when you define which "god" we are referring to.
And the answer for me is: NEVER. It's not possible to earn MORmON god's love. No matter what you do, you're never good enough when it comes to MORmONism.
