Not sure how to handle this. I don't support the church or my family being apart of it, but I know they will expect me there at church for the farewell talk and the setting apart. I all ready plan on not going to those things. I want them to understand that I don't support or believe in the church that I'm not some wayward child who needs to be rescued. I plan on going to the farewell party to sa

My mom told me she has heard that the people who were against the church back in josephs day. Took all the evidence the found in north American and through it in the ocean... I think she is trying to hold up her beliefs with crappy stupid theories.

I dont think there is any one that can say whether or not any of these experiences have happened. one thing that i have come to learn sense leaving the church is how much i dont know and how knowledge keeps evolving as new things are discovered. maybe there is a mental aspect to all of these that can be explained, but there isnt any way at this current moment to truely know and if we allow are se

I knew a lady in alabama on my mission that wanted me to give her dogs a blessing because they couldn't get prego. I wouldn't do it but she tricked a couple other missionaries into it. It didn't work of course so she had it artificially inseminated. My mission pres was all for it though.

I've never had many friends and almost no friends now. But I like to come here and fill like I have friends people that are like me. But of course I would like to socialize on a more personal level. But I fear that when I meet others who have left I will not fit in well with the group. I have never been good at meeting new people. Have any body else had the same fear?

At the present moment I'm not to sure. I feel less guilt for being human but I depressed because of the time and money lost. I don't feel like I ever learned how to be a real person and find that I lack the ability to make friends and find the real world scary and intimidating; plus losing virtually all friend and any real family relations hasn't helped.
