I hope this isn't political. I had no idea who this guy was until I just now saw a post of one of his paintings on facebook. Taking the politics out of it, what do you all think? (Perhaps this has been discussed before and I missed it.) It looks like another loving Mormon's way of saying how evil everyone else is and the demise of America is due to lack of morals and values. I have to wonder if that is specifically "Mormon values" they refer to. Forgive my lack of clarity. I should be in bed asleep.
A family member posted it and the preachy attitude is so annoying. I'm also very annoyed by the big Mormon push I am seeing on facebook. Do they think people really care that they had a great ward temple night, and that their no-mo or inactive friends are going to suddenly be inspired by seeing yet another quote by "insert random general authority"? I feel like they are looking to preach at every turn. Do they really think that's going to get me to come back? It's doing the exact opposite and I keep thinking about how stupid they are and then I get sad because they are living such a deluded life. If they are happy, fine, but their happy message ends at my doorstep and pretty soon it's going to end at my facebook. I am going to have about five people left in my newsfeed out of a couple hundred facebook friends.
Recovering is frustrating. I have way too many family members and old friends that are TBMs and I don't want to classify all of them as annoying and rude, but they are starting to make a pretty good case for it.
