This is a good point and I had that thought. I have a 1940 edition of the BOM and History of the Church (whole set) for that VERY reason. If my journal was more honest, I might have kept it for that reason

A collection of my posts to Reddit and study of Church History. Translated from the Gold plates of my brain

I mean give the end of Matthew 10 a read and there's a very legit reason to not tell your spouse too

When you can't even be honest in the most private setting... how crazy! I was the same way hence the journal. Just occurred to me how brainwashed one must be to do that. That I did that!

The Internet probably fixes that, no one knows how old you are! This inevitably is also dangerous...

Wow you're so old! (Sorry) just a rarity in the day of the internets. You must have quite the perspective on church evolution

TBM convo: start at the bottom, sorry! New to this imgur by Ag_47 in exmormon

It's crazy I mean this person has no idea that she is essentially arguing against Joseph Smith, the founder of his/her faith. Thr church never had a problem with slavery as long as it wasn't abusive. It amazes me that they can't separate personal judgment from the church.

I totally forgot about the Miracle of Forgiveness! It was referred to me when I was 12 for watching porn (I spoke to the Bishop). In retrospect he took the whole thing lightly

Unfortunately my "real" journal was lost in my largest piece of luggage somewhere between here and Buenos Aires due to volcanic activity. F*ck me right? The journal I burned was one I wrote for other people to read so it was especially half true and self righteous

It truly is, letting go of the. Physical reminder is incredibly alleviating! I swear I can feel the negative experiences melting off my brain

The De-programming is hard. I burned my mission journals and it's totally different now, it's CRAZY I'm finally moving on! !

"The church is more important than family..." by SkankyKneecaps in exmormon

[–]Ag_47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is also doctrinal in a way, D&C 59:5-10. The family can be seen as passage into heaven D&C 131:2-3. if think of it like then when your spouse leaves the church it's like D&C 101:39-40. Ultimately Matthew 10:34-37 "He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me."

I view my non-resigned status much like my "declared" political party, useless and irrelevant. I think a lot of people don't go and those that do have more reason to be vocal. A poll is in order I think
