I don't feel like converting them anymore.

I don't judge them for their tank tops, double ear piercings, short shorts, Sunday purchases, etc.

I can finally see a person for who he / she is without harsh and unwarranted judgement.

I can appreciate them for who they are and not for their potential to be a great mormon.

I don't judge ward members anymore for their "weak" testimonies.
I understand that they're just trying to make it through the maze of Mormonism intact or they are just there because of their family.

Everything is becoming crystal clear now that I have one foot out the door.

I can't wait until BOTH feet are out...and my DH and kids!

Today I was standing in line at the grocery store and noticed that the mom ahead of me had a shopping cart full of hamburger helper, chocolate chip waffles, handi-snacks, chips, soda, etc. I'm a tofu-brown-rice-organic-produce type person, and I was judging the sh*t out of her cart. Your post made me laugh at myself. I guess I just stopped judging people about one thing, and started judging them for something else! *Sigh*

What did they say? "Knowing is half the battle." LOL

Oh, I still judge when I see Moms give their babies Koop-aid and other junk like that. It makes me irate!

We all have our vices!

Hell, I'm still judgemental! I do think it's nice though, to let little stuff go. As long as it doesn't affect me, I don't give a rat's ass what people wear, eat, watch, etc.

That is wonderful to read. Good luck with the other family members.

Welcome to the imperfect human race. We are all trying to figure it out and do the best we can.

May your family and all Mormons one day learn the non-judgment of others that you have learned, exmollymo!

I am judgemental and a bad influence. I own a Corvette. I think everyone should own one. No matter what. You have 3 kids, your problem.

You love Mustangs, Camaros, shame on you. You are not worshipping the all might Vette. So what, if you cant stand Fiberglass ?

But I also understand that one car does not fit all. Heck, I own 2 other vehicles, a truck and a passenger car. My truck is for hauling stuff to and from the dump or Lowes. My car is for when I need to shop a lot, not much room in a Vette for bags of grocery. My Vette is good for fun :)

You may need a station wagon for your kids and needs. It seems the church doesnt get it. It isnt for everyone and when it tries to be, it becomes usefull for most anyone.

I feel you for sure. I wonder if we are in the same state... It would be nice to commiserate anyway. I just love it the real me is coming back again.

I would love to come to your class and just instigate tehehehehe!

I am in central Oklahoma. That would be cool if I had some moles in my class. I'd get some awesome questions/comments!

Well Ok is too far for me. But you know what raise the banner of truth.
