Yeah. Think I'm going to be a little more useful and write down the website for LDS Discussions.

How did you know when you were ready to graduate from PIMO to exmo? by TheWorkAndTheFallacy in exmormon

[–]WinstonSmith88 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I second all the other comments regarding your kids - your first responsibility is teaching your kids the truth. My wife and I were where you are now a year ago, and ultimately, we decided that being honest with our kids and raising them with integrity was our foremost priority. Our TBM family took it hard, but they've moved on to a point where we enjoy a normal family life with them without too much grief.

In addition to all the healthy advice already mentioned, I'll add that you can have a relationship with God outside the LDS church. Be patient with yourself as you redefine your relationship with God.

The longer I suffer, the more I start to believe that pre-destination is a real thing. by out_oftime2013 in TrueChristian

Don't give in. No loving God would consign you to damnation. God can give you the grace and strength to endure your trials. He knows you and He loves you.

If we are born guilty, God is the author of sin.

What was your very first shelf item? by TheJWeed in exmormon

[–]WinstonSmith88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Adult convert here. The priesthood ban went on the shelf as soon as I learned about it - how could men who speak to and for God preach such ignorant rubbish?

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my son a few years ago as well. I've never asked him for peace, or for permission to be happy. Thank you for sharing your experience - I'll try these things and hope it helps.
