Some of you posters are being counterproductive, in equating "happiness" with drinking booze or coffee, having sex outside of marriage, swearing, and being uncouth. IMO, this attitude just corroborates the Mormons' opinion of apostates.
I'm happier than I ever thought possible, and I didn't change anything about my life, at all. In fact, not being a mormon anymore, I don't have to lie AT ALL, anymore, so I'm probably a better person. I gave up my racial prejudices--it wasn't hard at all--I think racism is unnatural. I'm not homophobic. I ELIMINATED a lot of garbage and hatred, by leaving the cult; therefore, my life is "cleaner" and better.
I don't need to get high to be happy. I don't need to rebel. I'm still not interested in porn or even most R-rated movies, because they usually depress me, and that stuff is no more "real" than sunshine and children.
I just wanted the Morons to leave me and my family alone. I just want to be myself, and manage my own time and money, and keep the rights that every good American citizen should be entitled to, if they obey the laws of the land. No--it is definitely not about rebellion or getting even or even "escaping". It's about being free to move on, to keep learning and loving and earning and laughing.
I owe nothing to ex-Mormons, either, and if I choose to remain a prude and not join in unhealthy pastimes, I have that right. Like Susie Q says, "What you think of me is none of my business."
Blow your tobacco smoke in another direction.
When you drink, drive your car on road that leads away from here.
Look at porn, but keep your thoughts to yourself.
You Mormons go ahead and lie to each other, teach hatred to your own children, but leave me and mine alone.
If the Mormons weren't so ambitious in recruiting innocent people and spreading their lies and evil far and wide, I would probably recover completely.
