Every time that I heard someone say that at church, I would respond with "Happiness never was wickedness." Awkward silence always followed.

I need to read that book. I 'divorced' my father about 8 years ago. Just shut off and shut down all contact. He tried to send gifts to my children with flowery letters of guilt ridden expressions of so called love for about 3 years. When he got no sign of response from us, he finally gave up. thanks

Welcome to the board. It has helped me greatly. There are a lot very good and very intelligent people on here that can answer your question much better than I. My only answer would be "Ignore her. She is just trying to get you back into the cult and will treat you same way she did before even if you do go back."
Forum: Recovery Board

That is a tough one. I had to re-experience a lot of emotions that I simply 'shut down' when I had the cult theology to comfort me. It was difficult, but sometimes, just feeling them helped me understand them. It was rather hit or miss because some emotions were so strong that I lost my mind from time to time. Experiencing them was sometimes way too much for me to handle. Getting drunk

The words of Cliff Clavin... "Well you see, Norm, it's like this...A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the wea

Will you give me a definitive explanation of what "real authentic gay life" means? You only see this life through your own eyes. Can you, please, convey to us all, what you see?

I started working on getting my Marine Corps body back. So far, I have lost over 50 lbs and feel great. There is a tattoo artist that lives with me, now, so we have been planning out a back piece, a half sleeve, and a memorial tattoo for a friend of mine that died last June. We're going to mix some of his ashes into the ink.

"Your future children will be effected by your decision" I like that part of the sentence because isn't that just another sign that it is a cult? You can't even get involved without your family being dragged into it.

Before I read the other comments, allow me to say what I initially thought when reading your post. FUCK THEM!!!!!!!!!!! Take your little girl out to her favorite toy store, let her find a doll she loves, and buy it for her. Explain to her that she is being tricked and that you will take care of her no matter what she does. Your love for her is unconditional and the love her father has

Elaine, I was able to find the blog by searching google for some of the text you posted. It may lead back to you, anyway. He talks about an 11yr old girl who tells them that her parents won't allow her to speak to them. Instead of respecting the wishes of the parents and telling her they can't answer her question without her parents' consent, they start telling her about the gospel, anyway.

I knew an older couple a few years ago that drank that stuff everyday because they thought it was the cure for all of their ails. It didn't taste too bad, if I remember correctly. Now, I think I'd like to try some with rum or vodka, but I can't bring myself to give money to such ridiculous snake oil peddlers.

Bullshit stories like these make it clear to me that the leaders of the church don't really believe the church is true. What I learned while TBM is that if you lie about something in this life, the truth will be revealed in the next and everyone will know you lied. Imagine if we all get up to the CK and Mrs Shinas is standing there telling everyone that tommy boy is lying about the whole th

Congratulations on your marriage to the one you truly love. It sounds like your parents were thinking too much about themselves and how your "gay apostate bomb"(Thanks RJ) will affect them. I hope they wise up soon so that they can see how vastly different the picture TSCC paints of same sex marriage is from reality.

I am sure that both men being 'emergency medical technicians' had absolutely nothing to do with it. Yep, it must have been the magical priesthood/cleric powers that saved that boy. And what about the consecrated oil? Are they now saying that it is not needed? Can't they keep their story straight? Or do faith promoting rumors not need to be consistent with doctrine?
