I don't understand the mormon mindset anymore, especially that of a TBM. It seems these days that you average TBM is condensending, judgemental, defensive and self-righteous.
My FIL is a raging TBM. My immediate family, his daughter (my wife) the kids and myself all resigned from the church about 12 years ago. He just can't seem to accept this. We do not believe. As a result, he must find a reason to explain this.
I get this need he has to do this. It is all part of being in a controlling, manipulative, lying, corporate organization that pretends to be a church.
What I don't understand is why he fails to see that we are HAPPY not being in the church. Thrilled we don't have to go to a stuffy, filthy building on Sunday, listen to people try to convince or brainwash themselves into believing something is true when it isn't and being "put to work" so we make it to the highest kingdom when we die.
We just "think" we are happy. WTF?
Of course I "think" I'm happy because I am.
Deal with it.
Does anyone else out there have to deal with this kind of nonsensical thinking? That I'm happy living in sin? How exactly does that work? How does putting myself in an abusive, miserable situation make me and my family happy?
Hmmm?
