NOM

I participated on the previous board for a few months, then it went away. I am so glad I found the new one.

I grew up in the Church, served a mission, got married in the temple. A few years ago, it became impossible for me to continue believing. I could not accept the way women and gays are treated. I have not told anyone the full extent of my disbelief. My wife knows a little, but she would not take it well if I came out completely. It would just be one more issue on a pile of problems my marriage has. My bishop also knows a bit. I am working on how to be more honest about my feelings.

I probably won't post much, but I like to read about your experiences and thoughts. Thank you.

We are glad you found your way back.

welcome

Welcome back brother!

Glad you are here!

Yes. Yes. welcome back to the party. I remember you blazerb but I don't remember why you were blazerb. can you elaborate?

So glad you found your way home! I remember your username - good to see you again!

Thanks, everyone. I guess I had a reason for my user name, though it's not very creative. I think being a blazer scout way back was the last time I really enjoyed the majority of church activities. I was about as TBM as they come. When I look back on it, my efforts to be faithful were just making me more unhappy. It has taken me a long time to figure out that believing crazy things never was happiness. On the other hand, using a compass, tying sheetbends, and the occasional camp out were a lot of fun.
