Something else that indicates that this whole sad story is just that...a story, or that this person is miserable, always has been, and brougth that misery, anger, rage, guilt, self pity, and frustration into her church experience, which inevitably corrupted it and her relationships with others in it, and led her out of the church to what she perceives as easier and greener pastures.
Bravo! Put the blame on her for not conforming! Do you finally see that Mormonism not for everyone? It only fits certain personalities.
Bottom line is this is a white man's church.
All non white baptisms are for the sole purpose of keeping the lilly white tithes flowing in from the lilly white asses.
Thank you, PP. Loran is probably one of Juliann's clones.
Either that or yet another regurgitation of some fool who insists on painting me as crazy rather than doing some introspection. *laughs*
Thank God this isn't the new asylum board better known as MA&D...these folks would have a heyday.
By Loran's definition I was a f*ckup to begin with, and that was my problem. Uh-huh.
Loran:
All this demonstrates is that, so far, you appear to be a sanctimonious, self righteous, whining liberal who
claims to have had such and such terrible life experiences, but then dishes out a church exit story that bears all the standard marks of either having been written by a committee or derived from a standard script, and which contains material that clearly could not be true of most Mormons or the Church and are clearly your own creations. If, in any way, I minimize those claims, that is the reason. Your story would be fine if it were not for the standard exmo formatting of the narrative.
And I know why you don't like Julianne: you can't possibly refute or her arguments or tunn the tables on her in an open debate. She's far too knowlegable and far to shrewed an observer of the exmormon cultural and intellectual culture to let you do that.
Now, from a psychological standpoint, you very well may be "crazy" in the sense of being trapped within a personal tradition of poor, self destructive, self sabotaging thinking strategies and patterns, and carrying psychological and emotional baggage that creates perceptual distortions that make some normal developmental taskd of life quite difficult. All of us are a little crazy in that sense. I understand that perfectly. What bothers me are the other elements of your story that are clearly contrived.

Dame Edna was no shrinking violet either....
