How about a room where they post photos of themselves curled up in a fetal position, with their blankie, sucking their thumbs.

And as an added bonus, make it so that when you click on the picture it will say "Love me, Love me, Love me"

But, I am not an LDS apologist (devout or otherwise), and I haven't been one for over a year and a half--which, as I understand things, is longer than you have not been an LDS apologist.

Not sure what being an apologist has to do with anything. I suspect practically everyone over at RFM knows who you are and especially your reputation as a die-hard defender of things DCP or FAIR related. That certainly cannot work in your favor if you're hoping to persuade some of them to come on over.

Incidentally, I think if LDS members really want to do anything to make an ex-Mormon's healing process go smoother, we would encourage other LDS to treat them less like a sinful, spiritless "apostates" and more like the human beings that they are. Many ex-Mormons cannot divorce themselves from all things Mormon because of social involvement (i.e. family), so it is up to us to make their continued experience as less painful as possible.

Wow, the love just oozes from this post. I'm always amazed at the lack of compassion people have for those who leave the church.

I don't need your love or pity, but then I don't need snide disdain, either.

From what I read, this thread is about setting up a board regarding psycological help, and I have almost no tolerance for psychobabble. Now mind you, I'm sure that there are people who honestly have a need. But I can't stand some fully functioning adult crying and whineing about some supposed problem that is in reality a problem regarding self control and maturity.

How will that help them to heal and grow?

Thanks, -Wade Englund-

wade,

Could you describe the nature/purpose of your future board in about two sentences? Yes, I'm going somewhere with this. Nail it in two sentences.

that's what family and church are for.

Thirty years ago that's what a Dad was for.

Wow, now that I think about it, you'd have to go back 40.
