I went through a rebellious period after I left the church where I started drinking coffee and alcohol. Watched R rated movies and listened to music with language in it. Thru all that I realized a few things. A) I'm not that different after doing these things I'm still the same person. Only with a lot less guilt. B) I'm not a bad person because I do these things. C). I'm not (or try not to be) a judgmental person. The LDS church teaches not to judge. But they do. All the time. Every day. That's one thing about myself I like more since leaving the church. Live and let live is my new motto.
I was a member of the Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints (Mormon) for 18 years and resigned from the church in 2012. This blog is a record of my long journey out of the church and my subsequent attempts to overcome the brainwashing and false teachings that I was exposed to while I was a faithful member of the LDS church.
