I'm with "Yeppers" on this.
Bentaylor wrote about the friend:
"She said she knows it’s totally none of her business but if I wanted to talk we could."
Hello--there's no question she is asking! She said she wanted to talk. Big difference! In the 9 years I have been resigned from the cult, not one Mormon--Zero, not even one--has ever asked me WHY I left! Oh, plenty of TBM's have TOLD me why (I needed to read the BOM again, I was offended, bla-bla). The real reason I left, is that Mormonism is a hoax, that is cruel and harmful to innocent people.
Why do you think this friend is asking Bentaylor any questions? No. Mormons only preach at you and bear their testimony. Discussion is a waste of time.
Be your friendly, polite self. You no longer have to be phony.
If Mormons don't back away, I start telling them what I DO believe in, such as Christ, and Love, and people helping each other. I talk about our volunteer work. I tell them about how happy we are, and what great things we have been doing as a family. I tell them about our successes. I talk about science, and nature, the environment, and other things that Mormons do not care about, but we care about
When Mormons come to my door, I love asking them for money!!! To contribute to our volunteer projects, the school, or someone's political campaign, Friends Pet Rescue, The League of Women Voters! I do this to Missionaries and the Deacons collecting fast offerings. I love watching them squirm. It shuts them up.
Answer your friend, that you would love to talk. You want to tell her all about your new volunteer service project, and that you are looking for more volunteers and donations. Start to go off on a tangent (like the Mormons do), then write, "Anyway--I'll tell you all about it when we meet!"
This is what Mormons are always doing to us, so why not do it right back at them. (Don't go as low as they do, so don't criticize your Mormon friends, don't tell them they are evil, don't tell them they are unhappy, don't shun them, etc. That's stooping to the Mormons' own very low-level manipulative tactics.)
