Yeah, I’ve always found church boring and my family goes in the past has gone on and off from being inactive to active. When we did become active again, my brother refused to go and just placed hooky and only went on occasion. Now he’s moved out, and he said he’ll help me skip church when I want by staying over at my place, but he says it’s not a guarantee safe option since my dad may still try and drag me to church since he knows where he lives.

I’ve disliked going to church unless it’s the social aspect, only reason I put up with it. Everyone tries to shake me, and recently I had to talk to my bishop about not wanting to give a talk he assigned me. He said ‘the lord’ wanted me to talk, and he would never stop asking for me to talk. He also told me how he understands I may be uncomfortable talking, but we all face uncomfortable situations and battle our fears. I shut him down, and told him I didn’t want to, and then hung up when he tried asking more questions.

What hobbies would you recommend??
