I'm back.
I've been away from this blog for a while and I think it's time to revisit and see how all my readers are doing.
I've been out of the LDS church now for almost 7 years. And I have suffered no ill effects from this withdrawal from the
M"org". As far as the church is concerned, I don't really care about it anymore at all. This is in my past and I no longer think about the church
on a daily basis. Or even a monthly basis.
And I don't miss it, not one bit. Some days I look back and wonder how did I ever survive in that cult. It took a lot from me—my time was a big one. This is something I will never get back, and that's OK.
This is a life journey
that we're on and things happen—good and bad. Being a member of the LDS church wasn't all bad. I have
some good memories with friends
that I made while attending, but the church is not your life and that's what the LDS church wanted you to think. That everything you do is tied to the church—every decision you make, it's all connected.
Whether the church thrives or crumbles, I don't really care. There is only 1 thing
that I wish regarding the church, is that investigators know what they are getting into when they join. If the church leaders were up front and honest and let people know what the church is about, then if you still want to join, go right ahead. I won't dissuade you. If it's your decision, then that's OK.
I can't
make the decision for you.
