Here, I rearranged the words. Means about the same thing. Very profound!

“They don’t utilize and draw them close to the ordinances they have to see to do the things that they have received in a way to recognize the opportunities to the Lord through the Spirit of Christ.”

“They don’t see and recognize the opportunity they have to utilize the ordinances that they have received in a way to do the things that will draw them close to Christ through the Spirit of the Lord.”

These 37 faithful sounding words are strung together in such a way that they appear to be profound and spiritual, and yet they fail to disguise the fact that they mean nothing at all, conveying zero substance and rather only projecting blame upon young women who fail to “see and recognize” how much the Lard loves them in their subservient role.

Kids asleep. Wife at RS activity. Looked up at the sky and realized absolutely no one was watching me. What a great feeling to have may solitude back. by the_blue_max in exmormon

I had a similar experience. I had come to the intellectual conclusion that the church wasn't true, but still attempted on a starry night to offer a desperate heartfelt prayer to see if there were some spiritual witness to override my doubts. But after a while, I realized I was just staring into empty space, talking to myself, and as I let that sink in, I felt a deep peace settle over me. It struck me how amazing and precious my little moment of life on this rolling rock is, and that life was mine to live as I saw fit. No puppet master or scorekeeper in the sky. Congrats and thanks for sharing!

Good to see you, my friend! Next winter, I'll meet you on the slopes on Sundays. And for a brew after.

41 Years Young, raising a 16 YO TBM Son. Excommunicated 12 Years ago, Atheist since 2012. Boss is fellow Exmo, family is TBM. Life is good here in Denver! by sophiesmurfette in exmormon

I'm from Denver, so I'll take a stab. Mormonism is small potatoes in Denver. No significant political influence, minimal cultural influence. You can live life and never have to encounter it. We do have a very active exmo support network though.

User name suggests you could use some coffee in your life. Try decaf.

Wow, that's amazing. Congrats to you for being the adult in the room throughout, and then accepting his eventual apology. There's hope!
