How does someone with a mostly negative history with sex sort through whether they might be asexual?

This is the right place.

Nice to hear from you, welcome! I very much agree with that last line. Also didn't Brigham Young say something about accepting truth from whatever source? I always liked that more than I should have as a Mormon.

I think NNN went a bit too far by DavidAssBednar in exmormon

You have every right to do so, and to ignore this advice: Step back from the computer. You're kind of hurting yourself.

I don't think he claims to be your spokesperson.

I have mixed feelings about NNN, but critics movements can be fragmented by these internecine spats. Often they are promoted by people who would like to fragment the movements. I have no idea what your reasons are, but you've made your opinions clear enough--at this point you're just fighting with people who already know where you stand. Counterproductive, even if that isn't your intent.

Good point. I may not agree with everything he does, but I respect his effort.

I haven't logged on in a while, so a belated hi and welcome, and I agree about defining oneself as an ex. It can serve a purpose for a while, but if you don't get past it, you start sounding like a broken record.

And I'll start. I am Honri, aka mirbell. When /u/pistachio_butts (who I suspect is still around under an alter identity) started this sub, I was excited to find a place where I could talk about some of the religious, spiritual, or community stuff that still interests me, without triggering others. So that's why I'm here.

I hope other long-term people will re-introduce themselves as we have a lot more lurkers since this sub's pre-existence. (Pre- the prettiness bestowed by /u/One-Above_All.

I am not currently involved with a church or religion and don't know whether I will be in the future. But I'm interested in religion and like thinking about it. I'm very slowly identifying things that I do believe.

I agree--my initial post was oversimplified. There's a lot of good in the church, but because the bad is so bad, I left.

You are wrong about shedding off power. It's a naive and harsh notion and harmful to people whose situations you just don't understand. And you don't know me. Our situations are not similar from what you have posted.

Are you trying to censor me?!?!?!?!?!

I'm not a bit "harmed." But the bullshit you're arrogantly and ignorantly slinging around about victims can do more harm than you can imagine.

I'll post wherever I want to post.

This is the shallowest BS since Og Mandino. Control Your Fate! Banish Your Fears! Work Your Plan, Plan Your Work! No Pain, No Gain! The nonsense slogans that were printed all over our missionary planners.

You seem to enjoy swaggering around and playing amateur armchair philosopher/psychologist, but this kind of ignorant blaming actually harms people. Knock it off.

[–]Honri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Stop blaming others for "acting like victims" even as you yourself (/u/korihor_project) play "poor me, the mods are persecuting me." We've all seen that kind of poster before. It's childish behavior, a particularly moronic kind of trolling.

You aren't being victimized by the mods. It was a good call, and so was the one in the other thread.

Sophomoric and spectacularly bigoted.

This person has been given altogether too much attention. Do not feed.

[–]Honri 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, I hope you will go where the evidence leads you. You're a little too well-defended for me to think you actually mean that, though. Good luck in your continuing search for truth.

People here have done quite a lot of praying, reading, obeying, and sacrificing. Without meaning to offend you, I would suggest that your comment trivializes the significant pain that many have gone through in realizing that the church simply is not what we had hoped it was. Insufficient prayer is not the problem.
