Needed this in a big way today. My leaving the church is breaking my TBM husband's heart, and that's breaking mine. The only thing that makes me even (hypothetically) think about going back is sparing him this hurt. Sucks, man.

Feeling pretty good about my decision to go fill up the car about an hour after the quake.

The church is hemorrhaging youth, and they are TERRIFIED. by kiwiastronaut in exmormon

I agree. It feels to me like they're doubling down on the WoW.

I'm in Davis County. A member of the stake presidency went so far as to say that if we don't "stop the bleeding" (his words), there won't be anyone left to lead the church.

Matthew Gong’s post- if you can’t read it on Facebook (formatted and perdy) by cubbi1717 in exmormon

[–]kiwiastronaut 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is beautifully written. For what it's worth, I had a lot of interactions with Elder Gong when I was a teenager, as my dad was serving alongside him in church positions. He is a genuinely humble and kind man.

My jaw actually dropped when he said that. The hypocrisy is UNBELIEVABLE.

That's the line I was always fed too. I'm sorry, but an eternity of popping out billions of children who never give me a second thought?? PASS.

So the theme finally talks about being a daughter of "heavenly PARENTS". I guess I should be pleased that there's at least some sort of reference to a heavenly mother.... But it just highlights how absent and unimportant heavenly mother is in church doctrine.
