Only I didn't know that then.
Yesterday after the church reversed its awful policy, I purposely sought out some of my Mormon friends' Favebook pages. I've been out for about 10 years now. I spend all my time around never Mormons now.
And when I look at the posts the Mormons I knew as a child make, I feel like I'm standing outside of a fishbowl looking at the fish swimming around. And I'm realizing that these are really creepy fish. They're posting about the revelations that will come this weekend. It's weird.
I used to think kind of talk was an indication of a good thing.
Someday, when I'm done with some other projects, I want to make some good fiction characters out of this and wrote an interesting book that really shows people who've never been in cults what it's like to look at the fishbowl from the outside and remember what it was like to be a fish while thinking, "These fish are creepy."
And the book's have to show what it's like to be taken advantage of by creeps before you really understand what creepy looks like.
What a journey.
