CBD oil is amazing - it has helped my 14 year old Aspie tremendously with social anxiety and wanting to build relationships with other humans. Just because something CAN be abused doesn't mean it should be restricted because some can't handle it. Gyms and food and video games can all be addictive. Are we banning those next? This is just part of the infantilization the church imposes on the mem

We live in a somewhat rural area, and when we were active the only converts that seemed to be attracted to our stake were the fringe of society type. Homeless, drug users, scary as #$%^ people. They never contributed to the potluck meals, but after I saw them poking and digging at food with their brown nails and oozing sores, we stopped participating in that sort of activity.

Thanks for the welcome! No one in our ward ever said hi to the noobs. :) There were no friends for us in the church, so no loss there. Our families are members, but we stopped caring what they think a long time back. We don't advertise that we stopped attending and they are too cowardly to ask hard questions directly to the source - they always just whisper about it to themselves and come to t

Hi...newly registered but have been lurking and reading for awhile. Husband and I were a classic Mormon story (non-Utah, thank whoever) of RM marries licked cupcake in the temple and has beautiful future missionaries.
