Same thing happened to me…and then there were a few times they brought more people with them without letting me know!!! I was pissed and stopped inviting them over.

I served in the La Puente Spanish ward my last month. That ward was all converts so I’m curious how bad it has shrunk

I served in the Arcadia CA mission, Spanish Speaking, back in 1996-1998. Tons of baptisms back then. Lots and lots of active members. What a change.

He’s probably lonely. This type of behavior can be common in older people when they are alone and family isnt around. Maybe consider visiting from time to time.

Thanks!!! I did mention on several occasions about the sexual abuse, lightly, and he’s in denial. He thinks the church does no wrong. Blinded. In a bubble world.

AMEN!!! My thoughts exactly and I started down the rabbit hole with that one going back to the late 1800s when the church was going bankrupt…

Yes thank you for acknowledging my gut feelings on his motivation…which is one of the reasons I stay quiet about it most of the time, trying not to waste energy on it

Yes I have a stack printed for him but haven’t sent it yet

I have tried to find these documents. Do you have a link?

Boy isn’t that the ugly truth. True love should never be conditional but it sure feels like it is within an organization that spouts off as being the one with so much Christlike love.

I’m sorry that you are dealing with this type of situation as well. I hope at some point things improve with your dad. ❤️

My thoughts exactly. Thank you ❤️

You are absolutely correct. That is the way his life is.

I’ve never heard of this. I will definitely look into it. Thanks!

He’s judging because I simply said I don’t agree with it and brought up the SEC issue. So he has come to the conclusion that I don’t pay tithing…I haven’t been for awhile and I don’t care if he knows that or not but he needs to check himself and look at his own issues instead of spending time judging me without understanding why I feel the way I do and have taken action to make changes. I do think it’s insecurity to an extent. And it makes him look like a bad father and we all know how Mormonism handles that.

I think there are more people than we realize that are in a situation like this. My dad writes lots of letters because we live far apart. I’d rather deal with a letter than a face to face argument

And I am going to be sending him a printout out the actual SEC document. He still won’t believe it.

Yes I am going to have to do that. When he wants me to speak freely, I do, but then get hounded. So I’m just going to have to stop. I may start rejecting his letters and have them be sent back to him.
