My brother in law has decided that we, my wife and I, are apostates. Up to this point has been the closest thing I have had to a friend in my wife's extremely morg family. Keep in mind that we have not outed ourselves as non-morgs or that we are resigning from the church.

He and I periodically go hiking with our kids. While hike I expressed my concern over the church essay about polygamy. I very briefly reviewed the high points of the essay. His initial reaction was to deny JS was a polygamist. I decided to push a little and assured him that JS was not only a polygamist but had practiced polyandry also.

It was in this moment that his morg dominant psychy took over and began to cycle the mantra "we are the morg". He has been extra busy since this time and has not wished to go "hang out".

I have ask him if he has reviewed the essay and he denies being able to find it. I offered to send him a link or printed copy. He has not accepted my offered help.

When he bumped into my wife and while conversing with her about the pending family reunion he accused her of apostasy. The only reason he would even do this would be because of our conversation.

I am so tempted to drag him out to the wood shed and teach him what courtesy and personal boundaries are.

I can not believe I gave them over 40 years of my life.

Thank you for letting me vent. I wish you all peace and success in all your endeavors.

Sorry I did not mean to post the same message twice. Still getting used to the system

Mormonism is an exercise in subjective truth. If you believe, it's true to you. But it takes a lot of energy to put up walls around it and even more energy to keep facts from caving it in. Much more energy than was required in the 19th century.

Life would be easier for everyone if Mormonism would just go away.
