Hello, I hail from Southern California. I am a never-Mormon, but have had many Mormon neighbors, classmates, coworkers, and friends. My previous church affiliation was rather conservative and legalistic, having some of the same issues many Mormons have: salavation by works, lay clergy, faith stories/myths, pride in long generations in the "church", the "church" being the Only True Faith, women are the second/lower class, etc. Being a woman, I particularly chafe about being the daughter of the ever-fallen Eve. I mean, if God can forgive our sins, then why is it he couldn't he forgive Eve? And women for being female?
Anyway, I have been lurking this website for about 5 years. Feel there are a lot of intelligent, funny, and thought-provoking posters here.
The only time I ever been in a Mormon chapel was a few years ago, when they had an open house for the temple in Newport Beach, CA. What a ridiculous building. I could tell there was a feud going on amongst the members.
