Most Mormons have been indoctrinated not to comprehend that, therefore they're happy & pleased to continue in the Bubble.

I think Mormons suffer a Huge Deficit of not being able to examine themselves as individuals and to make adjustments - corrections in their own life plans & choices.

Being a part of the cult is what keeps them from self-reflection. It's really hard for them to separate the teachings from the malarky that goes on in reality.

It's such a group mentality, because they all sound and do the same thing, like block stuff, like voting, dancing, etc. I was guilty of the same behavior. It's like the Borg in Star Trek. 'I am so and so... you will serve us.' Now would that not be scary?

As for dancing, we had a stake center that all of us adults went to for teaching, and also set up for dancing, in the main hall. It was horrifying.

And we all were just parroting the same stuff over and over. It worried me, but I decided to play along. I did all I could to be like them, and sometimes, I became one of them too. Hence, my calling to do temple work.

But there was always a part of me that wanted to fight for the people outside of the bubble. Like the LGBTQ+ youth, and all, because I knew what it felt like to be them.

I came out after I left the church. There are safe havens, but mostly you are ostracized. That's why so many young people end things when they are so young.

The church hates them. Heaven forbid they actually embrace the youth.

attributed to Shakespeare:


'To your own self be true'

which means, Understand yourself, don't think or do anything outside of your own, individual character.
