Those are just some of the available perks . . .


    Also, leaving the church makes it possible to honor Sunday as a day of rest.


    

I got three great perks out of it.

I have two days to sleep in, instead of one.

I have two days to do my grocery shopping instead of one.

I have two days to mow my lawn instead of one.

I usually take advantage of all three on Sunday as I watch the late morning returning group from church stare at me in envy as they pull into their driveways. Knowing that I slept in, ate a leasurly late breakfast, and am now mowing my lawn. The afternoon group returning from church will see me drive past as I head for the grocery store or maybe take in a movie. The men stare particularly hard during the summer as they tug at that tie with beads of sweat on their foreheads.

My S I L had some folks over after church, but his lawn badly needed mowing, So:

FULL church uniform, he brought out his mower (it was a hot day too...); the friends were watching & glad, I guess.

He was the Br. President of the Spanish speaking branch, 'so he Had To set a good example.
Ugh

What on earth? You have to keep your Sunday duds on even when you're doing manual labour? I didn't know that - or have forgotten.

Straining at gnats and swallowing camels - a good motto for the church in that case.

Lunacy.

If this means you quit the Golf Course for the Dead, be aware that your prepaid greens fees are nonrefundable.

Were you quoting me from another site? Thanks.

    Hey, you know me!  No taste whatsoever!!

I did not leave the church to smoke, drink and have sex. I left the abusive Doomsday CULT because it is abusive towards blacks, women, homosexuals and children. It protects pedophiles and blames victims. And I didn’t want to raise my children in the abusive CULT that routinely covers up for sexual abusers and normalizes sexual abuse by singing the praises of a rapist who abused his power and authority over his followers to rape teenagers and women who were already legally and lawfully married to Joe’s followers. I left because I didn’t want to sing the praises of a rapist.

or to harm others, physically, financially, emotionally, or sexually...

However, the jury is still OUT as to having consensual sex.

I left the Mormon church because it no longer jived with me. I wish I'd left to have sex.

The Bishop spends a lot of his time listening to active believing members confess about their sexual transgressions or word of wisdom infractions. Obviously many active believing Morgbots don't feel the need to leave "the church" to do naughty things; they can sin and still go to church every Sunday. Funny that they are quick to suggest that most members leave to sin. It creates too much cognitive dissonance to acknowledge that members are leaving in droves because the Mormon church is a fraud.

There are many perks in leaving. A relaxing church-free Sunday was the first thing I noticed. The second was the mental relief from trying to convince myself "the church" was "true." It seems that if a person has to work so hard to convince themselves that something is true, it probably isn't.

You forgot the extra 0% of your income fattening your wallet instead of TSSC's coffers...

Whoops. Of course I mean 10%

I did leave The Church to smoke, to drink, and to have sex.
I'm very bad at it.

Those are acquired tastes.
