Well, put. I have in one way or another thought around those lines a lot. I just won't last much longer I think having to wake up everyday in the twilight zone that for all intents and purposes I have crated for myself because I trusted and believed. Yea its not all that bad, but there in lies the frustration of it all. Its so subtle its so quietly undermining. Its epic bullshit that so invisibl

Yea, I have three kids. I have not been "active" for like 4 years. I really think my wife does love me, but how much of that love is jaded by the paradigms that the church creates is what always keeps me guessing or doubting acts of kindness. What is her ulterior motive? I sat at home after work today while my entire family was at mutal. It's hard not to be bitter, I hate that the morg

Cheryl - Good point. I think I will compile a list of different religions and myths that have miraculous claims and in a very serious and loving manner try to get her to ponder them...

I have not being going to church for about three years and have been slowly trying to convince my wife and kids to leave too. The other day we had a long drawn out conversation and my wife basically breaks down and says "I cannot deny what I saw, I saw with my own eyes my grandmother and cozen in the temple..." These people both have been dead for a few years. I have had some crazy s

Thanks for all the input... really. It is a sigh of relief to know that that are people out there that are feeling the same. You guys have no idea how good it is to hear real people think like me. Sometimes when the timing is right I will explain to my wife in the nicest way possible issues like where are all the piles of bones from the wars or see if she really believes that polygamy is ok wi

Background: I converted when 17, the church rescued me from my Jerry Springer show family. I had some of the best friends ever in the church. They took me in literally. I went on a mission. I became a serious scripture reader and testimony bearer. Got married in the temple. Three kids. Bared a fiery testimony sometimes that touched others… etc. Held lots of callings, did service projects.
