NOM

I resigned 10 years ago and still have issues that bring bouts of anger from the early days. This is because I still love and care about so many mormons who struggle..for reasons I know are not there. Just be yourself..it is okay to hold on to the good things..and there are many. But find a space of...

Not pushing you to do a thing..just saying that you can if you want too...choices..something we don't get without guilt in the church..is choices..

Big Hugs..go with flow..I say this because this last mother's day...I miss my Mom..in all the highs and lows.. My daughter is not speaking to me..so take a moment to breath..you can still be yourself..but let that self remember those moments not so long ago. She is conditioned to believe something s...

Seems like a lot of baptizing with "no shows"...what does this say about what they are being told and what they learn...seems like the church is offering something else..perhaps other needs are being met but the doctrine is being ignored.

Brilliant...yes!! So many on the other side probably already know we have been dooped in so many ways..they need out...out of the spirit prison
that is in the mormon mind.

Please don't be angry with me..but you know what? If you are not true to yourself..you will lose your wife anyway. But I don't think you will..sometimes love has to be tested..you won't know until you try..be honest with yourself may bring many other kinds of blessings to you and your children. Hugs...

Wow...just to have discussions like that. Amazing. Do you think you will go back? Are you tied to the church in some way that you need to be there in your ward? If if find a place like you visited today..it is everything. I am a spiritual person..and yet so long for communication that is sharing ..g...

Welcome..it is a bitter pill to swallow when you realize that Prophets/Apostles don't have a clue. It is an organization like all others. A corporation that feeds on fear and obedience. Keep us posted on your travels through all of this.

I am so sorry for what your wife is going through. Been there and done that. So happy though that she has your love and support...still let her take her time and let her mourn some things. The process is a reality that we never knew..make some lemonade out of all these lemons.. Be there. Someday she...

I miss you guys..there is lots to love about resignation..would do it again. It is the fact that you really want to DO something..and to watch the church get away with so many things..and be sort of a scum to TBM family and friends..creates an anger that starts all over again. I just have to remind ...

Give her some time..if she is a true friend, she will miss you. I mean surely there has to be another connection between good friends other than the church. Wait a little..I don't think it is over. Time will tell..and time will tell if she was a true friend or not. If she is not..then she is not als...

Well..there you go,,,until you are a tithe payer...the casseroles and cookies and all the goodies/invitations will come..after that..gotcha!

I haven't checked in as much as I planned and I will be doing so more often now. I am hoping all of you are doing well and those of you who are still in the church are adjusting to new changes. I will always care about the people of the church. As a resigned member, I still go through bouts of holdi...

To me the list is too close to eavesdropping..snooping...and following people around..It has nothing to do with love and compassion.

Margaritas guys...you need margaritas.

I respect Patrick..but minds that know a certain truth will go totally insane in trying to justify a church that really doesn't care about you..you are either in or out..unless your family ties are such..it is even hard to compromise.

To the pretend apologist...you did good. That is exactly the response I would expect!!! I wonder how many are really faking this whole thing.

As I see it...the numbers they have are slightly off..depending on the polls age wise. In my view..the average age is disaffection from the church is different..a lot of us boomers are gone and out ..leaving many of our children behind ..I resigned in 2008...after over 40 years in the church ..thous...

I have a friend that grew up there...just didn't mind it..she was an inactive LDS but it wasn't a big deal..at the time just a few wards. But hey...I imagine it would be fun to live there and though the costs may be high for rent/homes...jobs should be good and I have heard that the schools beat Uta...

Have you done anything wrong? You stated opinions of which there are many?? Stick to your guns..should the time come that they might want to meet with you, have the meeting in your home on your terms. Is anybody tired of the bullying in the world of morgbot shaming and brainwashing? You have friends...
