Congratulations, Ziller. That is great news for your family and for you.
-------------- 'The "sheer exhaustion and soul-suck."
That is so true. How often we felt that it might have been nice to be a non-Mormon and live a normal life, then be converted after death. The drudgery was so constant, so overwhelming, so pointless.
--------------- "What she said to defend polygamy on her mission was a lie."
When I learned the truth; when I learned that they taught me to lie, the sense of betrayal was monumental.
I don't know how they can claim any moral authority when they take well-meaning people and transforming them into the unwitting agents of dishonesty. There is nothing more disqualifying than that.
