I am wondering if anyone else here feels guilt over things they did while in the church.
I went inactive at age 15, so luckily the damage I was able to do was minimal. But I did go to the temple once, at age 12 or 13. I did baptisms for the dead. I guess I thought I was doing the right thing at the time, but of course I know better now.
I still, at age 32, feel really guilty about the dead dunkings I did all those years ago. Even though I'm atheist and don't believe in the afterlife, I know that my actions had the potential to cause pain to family members who may not have wanted their relatives names used that way.
I wish there was some way to make amends. Anyone else struggling with guilt?
