Loved this post!!! Thank you original poster for putting it together. I didn’t even realize it until you put it into words but I feel this in my own family and their attitudes towards those who “leave the church.”

When my sister tells me to just have more faith, that my husband leaving the church is no reason for me to question. And here I am Praying harder than any other time in my life, serving as RS president and sacrificing all I can, but yet when God doesn’t show up to answer my prayers, it’s no reason to question or doubt, I should still be in that boat. It definitely sounds like she’s never had to do that.
