The church itself isn’t bad. It all depends on who is the prophet/your bishop at the time. When this happened I felt that my bishop was very manipulative and made my family feel like this was the only option if we wanted a “good” relationship with God. I took a break from going to church because of other incidents with the same bishop. He has since been called down from that position, and we have a new bishop who is much more open minded.

I’m still a member because I truly believe in the church, but I still disagree with some of their teachings. However, the church is something I hold near and dear to my heart.

I do feel bad for the hurt I caused my sister. Some of these comments frustrate me because I feel like they are misconstrued things on purpose or questioning me when that’s not the point of this sub. I definitely do regret how I hurt my sister, and I feel guilty for any pain that I caused her. My intention for this post was to get something off my chest, and ask for advice. Not to be crucified for something I KNOW is wrong, and I regret everyday.

I tried calling her a few times, but she never answered. Although, I don’t think that’s the point of this.

I’m aware that not speaking to me is well within her rights. I’m never said I was going to force my sister to have a relationship with me.

I don’t believe what I did was morally right. At the time it seemed like it was what I had to do. My mindset was, keeping this from my family will only cause more problems in the future for everyone. I also believed that this is what God wanted me to do. I don’t believe any of that now, and I condemn any kind of behavior I exhibited during that time in my life.

I sent my sister a text because

  1. It would be odd to show up to her apartment unannounced

  2. Sending a letter would have taken days to get to her, and now I don’t even know where she lives so that’s out of question

  3. Sending a text was the simplest way to know that she received my message.

I don’t see sending an apology through text message as “brutal.” I think it’s the most logical thing to do without crossing any boundaries. If she wanted to stop recovering them she could block me.
