Thank you, Cheryl. I wear my feelings on my sleeve these days and was really upset. I need to grow a spine and move on. I love RfM and the banter that goes on here. I was shocked to read another posters' take on two prominent, popular posters here, who still go to an LDS church! I was confused as to why they were here and not recovering from MORmONism? Riding the fence as I see it.

One of my dearest, old friends at church phoned me around christmas. She went on about how everyone misses me and why haven't I been to church in such a long time? I drew a huge breath and told her how innocently I stumbled onto ex-mormon stuff while listening to the motab on youtube. I went on for over 10 minutes cramming in everything huge and relevant to answering her question. I let her kn

I haven't been on here for over a month due to Dave the atheist's comment- "give me a fucking break". I don't need anybody in cyberspace or real life talking to me in this fashion. I asked a genuine question and this is the response I get? I was so hurt, again, by church things and now this? I DO appreciate everybody's response to my question. I read them today for the first time.

I read several others posts and wonder IF we are supposed to be 'recovering' from MORmONism Just who do we pray to? I have been told Heavenly Father is made up. So, WHO do we pray to? I know there are some here who still go to an LDS church. So, why are they even here? Kinda riding the fence ain't it? Like to bitch about the church, but still go to church? I want to know how in the hell to

Ziller, You are such a beast! I can remember being a 17 y/o in a string bikini. We made them, in the 60's, with an 8th of a yard of fabric. Covered only the imagination of the beholder...I still have a leopard s.b. I refuse to get rid of. I know I'll never wear it again, but it reminds me of a funner time of my life--going to the beach.......

Badass, One day, in the near future, you are going to be through with surgeries. You will be sitting, thinking, "I feel pretty good today. No major aches or pains." Then, Voila! The Badassadam will be on the road to feeling great again. It seems like a long time you have been suffering, but you will get better, AND you will know you are better. Then, maybe you can work on having

It is hard to listen to them. I haven't for a few months now. Used to sing along to various songs, quite often, but just don't have the heart anymore. No song in my heart to sing about anything. Nothing is funny, no baby Jesus... learning to regroup holiday type of thinking.

Amyjo, Actually, I worked on the cleaning crew at a Jewish Temple, here, for quite a while. I saw a lot of things. This is where I met the lady I worked for- she was a teacher at the day school the temple had going on. I felt a reverence in the Jewish temple, working there, I never felt in a LDS temple, visiting there? Wonder why?

Adam, Get your neck fixed. You can feel better, or not. We can all hope for the best outcome. Remember, there is no one, out there, to help us. All religions are a man made construct. We create a big guy in the sky so we can feel connected to the cosmos--All the OUT THERE in space there is. Man created gawd to have something to feel connected to, and not be so alone on this planet and have

But Amyjo, Look at the flip side. There won't be any fires for a very long time. Sure it will be painful. Mudslides are ugly from no root structure also? I haven't seen a BAD place in sunny CA.

In MY neighborhood, 99% of whom I am speaking about are from south of the border, of the USA. Many are here illegally, but if they have American born babies? Uncle Sam has to take care of new American citizens. Much of this money leaves our country everyday by Western Union. This does not contribute to our economy, but becomes a huge sinkhole in a financial abyss...

Dear Moe, I am just disappointed it -TSCC- is not true. I devoted a lot of time and energy into being TBM most of my life and for what? Don't I have a right to be a little pissed off?

the cost of living goes up. Look around where your tax money is going? I can tell you first hand where a HUGE chunk of tax money is going...People having babies in America. In my little neighborhood, the people have babies like stairsteps. Each little American born baby has too be cared for. This means food stamps, TANF, WIC, free medical care, free money to pay utilities, rent, non-food items
