Hi everyone, just wanted to tell you that I used to be tombs1 on here but needed a fresh start. To give everyone a quick review, I have cousins who are all TBMS because my uncle converted to marry somone decades ago. I grew up in a pretty big Mormon community in AZ and right before I graduated High School I converted to Mormonism for reasons that I did not understand at the time. I ignored warnings from my parents and many other people about some of the things that go on in Mormonism, and put in my paperwork to go on a mission at 19. That is what it took for the lights to start going on for me. I started to see that we were being controlled by a corporation that doesn't have the answers to even a lot of its own teachings and doctrine. I lasted six weeks in the MTC and was sent home for "depression". After a year of trying to stay in the Morg I couldn't do it. Now I deal with my anger about it and Aspergers syndrome. I want to thank everyone on here who has always taken the time to listen, share their stories and advice, and I still have more to talk about but under a "New Name" lol
Thanks for your story and letting us know your "new name"!
I think over time the anger will get better. You have to forgive yourself for only doing what you thought was right at the time. You had the guts to leave a mission. Depressed or not, that took nerve. They want you to have baggage about it. Thankfully you caught on!
