Re: Thank you. :)
Thank you for sharing your journey thus far. So many of us have traveled a similar journey, and it is a painful and confusing one. I see things in a completely different light than I used to, and my interest in church events is waning all the time. I think it is bold of you to state your feelings on...

Re: Just Taking it a Day at a Time
Thanks for sharing your story, Cedar.

Re: Falling Apart
I agree with you on many counts, Shawn. I'm sorry you are having a really difficult time. I am also trying to figure out what to do with the new information I have. The realities of polygamy, polyandry, etc., have really upset me, along with many other things. I can't really reconcile what I have be...

Re: Church videos and depression
I kind of agree with you. On the one hand I guess it is good to think about all we do accomplish in a day and the many ways we help others, but in this video I felt like I was watching a woman who hasn't learned how to say no. She seemed overwhelmed to me to the point of depression. It would have be...
