How I wish the internet had been around when I was a teenager. It would have changed my life forever.
Thanks, madalice, for mentioning that. I wanted to second to you; though I, for one, would have liked it to have been around when I was about 5 or 6 or 7, well before baptism - ha ha - who is with me there? About 7-9 million others? OK. LIKE, why are they forcing us so much to do this? (like my sister didn't do it or my brother didn't do it or my friend didn't do it) What IS the rush? WtF!?! Who is this J. S. to worship and praise, and who doesn't (necessarily) mean Jack Sh¡P [or make any sense] (rocks in hat =not milk before meat): it's like, let's all drag each other under the water so that way we can all say we've been down together (and see the Light/ we have seen the evil it is [and the good it says it is]) and we will come out of the water together, as ONE.
Yea, it would have been so easy to "discover" or stumble across the truth in a hurry... as you are experiencing your "testimony", if those around you (knew) would teach you the truth when you were/ are young. When are preparing for a talk, and you went to YouTube, UTLM, MormonThink, exmormon.org, mormonstories, anything in the world on growth, diversity, progress, trusting in adults, what (Mormon interpretation of) family is - compared to what these Mormons are telling me it's supposed to be. I can prepare for this talk knowing its all JSBS and prepare a good one, well before the preposterous thought about me doing the sacrilegious sacrament. No mission pressure. Maybe lived differently. However, I am glad I had a feeling, as a teenager, all along, I knew it wasn't true. I just couldn't prove it. Now I don't need to, but easily could, if anyone ever asked. Thanks to ACTUAL ACCESS to THE truth. Mormonism doesn't teach the truth. You have to experience it on your own. You will find it if you look. You will be happy with the truth and can go on with life WITHOUT GAMES.
I feel so much better going straight back to Godhead, vs. having to go around the bend [and for so many the break] that is Mormonism - as in broken, unable to be fixed, built cheaply in the first place. Nothing but a mirage, a stage, backdrop or facade. It looks like something, maybe, but we know it's nothing. The internet is something.
