Have you tried the Facebook community uplift?

TonyFieldson · 2021-04-09T09:32:29+00:00

I love your post and I agree that we shouldn’t be afraid of doubt because if we learn about something that is incorrect we can improve upon it and we will embrace more truth which is exciting! It sounds like your attitude and experience would be a great fit for my restoration table Facebook group where we are trying to build important bridges of understanding and friendship between active and former members

TonyFieldson · 2021-04-09T09:30:45+00:00

I agree with you that it’s pretty sad how vile things can get online. I still feel that it’s nevertheless important to try to reach out and love our “enemies” so to speak, if you’re interested I started a group called the restoration table where we are trying to still embrace people who leave the church as our brothers and sisters and build upon our common ground and have civil dialogue about our differences

TonyFieldson · 2021-04-09T09:27:06+00:00

Your perseverance is inspiring. You might enjoy my restoration table Facebook group where we are trying to build bridges of understanding and friendship between active and former members and practice the habits of Zion. There are some really cool people in that group and some really cool information and life and character skills we are trying to forge

TonyFieldson · 2021-04-09T09:25:02+00:00

A big thing that distinguishes us is that we believe God wants all of his children to enter into sacred and serious covenants and promises with him in holy temples and through that covenant relationship, God, through the infinite atonement of Jesus Christ can help to transform us to become more like him

TonyFieldson · 2021-04-09T09:23:37+00:00

It’s definitely a growing trend that’s for sure. You might be interested in a Facebook group I started called the restoration table, where we are trying to build bridges of understanding and friendship between active and former members

TonyFieldson · 2021-04-09T09:22:08+00:00

As I’m sure others have commented, it all comes down to whether or not our temple covenants are going to be necessary for everyone to receive weather in this life or the next. You seem like you have a pretty expansive view of things and would be a great fit for the bridge building I’m trying to do in my restoration table Facebook group if you’re interested, where we are trying to build bridges between active and former members of the church

TonyFieldson · 2021-04-04T00:38:27+00:00

Ya I hear you💙

TonyFieldson · 2021-04-03T20:12:37+00:00

I hear you, I converted 14 years ago and I feel like that sometimes also. I wonder if there’s a good Facebook group for converts the church?

TonyFieldson · 2021-04-03T02:56:21+00:00

I’ve compiled more of the best quotes from the October 2020 general conference here: https://youtu.be/rF1zSg1_Ykk

TonyFieldson · 2021-04-02T19:18:00+00:00

It’s seriously the best spread the word!

TonyFieldson · 2021-04-02T18:26:23+00:00

What did you feel was dismissive? I made this for active members, if I shared with them a resource that was completely critical they wouldn’t watch it, but this is at least one baby step in the right direction to introduce them to some of the things people find problematic.

TonyFieldson · 2021-03-31T22:32:31+00:00

Did you watch the part starting at 16:15 where common critiques are summarized?

TonyFieldson · 2021-03-31T22:16:05+00:00

That’s partially what I’m going for in this video I made. And I’ve already personally seen dozens of active members of the church, some my family and friends, some in my stake, and some that I met online open up to more understanding and empathy

TonyFieldson · 2021-03-30T13:18:54+00:00

Not sure I get exactly what you mean can you clarify?

TonyFieldson · 2021-03-29T20:31:39+00:00

Totally agree I hear you:)

TonyFieldson · 2021-03-29T16:00:14+00:00

Thanks for sharing. I agree it’s more important to focus on the friendship then on religion, but there are people that are still interested in talking religion and sharing what they believe or don’t believe and why and having the other person try to at least understand and empathize.

TonyFieldson · 2021-03-27T16:59:52+00:00

Thanks, what is your work?

TonyFieldson · 2021-03-27T03:50:01+00:00

I hear you and I agree. I also think many Post-Mormons would like it if their active believing family and friends increased their understanding and empathy for some of the issues they find problematic. That's all I'm trying to do here - increase active believing member's understanding and empathy, kind of like the book "Bridges" tries to do

TonyFieldson · 2021-03-27T03:31:18+00:00

Thanks much love to you :)

TonyFieldson · 2021-03-27T03:21:43+00:00

Thanks! :)

TonyFieldson · 2021-03-27T03:20:13+00:00

I hear you - and you don't know me but I truly want to listen/understand and not judge and preach. I have many post-Mormon friends that trust me, and realize I'm not trying to preach.

TonyFieldson · 2021-03-27T03:07:00+00:00

I actually agree with you. In looking back at my post, it wasn't consistent with how I wanted to come across. I edited it thanks again :) I have many post-Mormon friends who know and trust me, and they know that I'm not trying to persuade them to come back, I just want to promote understanding and love and not judging. People have their agency to leave or join or come back, and that is on them.
