My girlfriend and I lived together for three years before I told my parents, your wife wears her garments around her mother...the church thinks it's all about families, but if the whole family doesn't share the faith, the church creates chasms in our relationships.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14724409661360473452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4172451149432147710.post-77814528032743945072015-10-17T10:03:17.650-04:002015-10-17T10:03:17.650-04:00That's hilarious!

Oaks is standing in the Great and Spacious Building asking people if they can be "suckered" by the atonement.<br /><br />http://restorationinterrupted.blogspot.com/2015/01/lehis-dream-part-1.html<br /><br /><br />I also was disgusted by the guilting placed on mothers. The implications here are obvious. If a child strays, it's on the parents. At least none of them advised parents to abandon their children, but they place false expectations and false hopes in these parents. My wife is still struggling with how to tell her mom that she is no longer attending church and hasn't for years. It would break her mom's heart, because the church has taught mothers that their hearts should be broken when their child leaves the church. That's not unconditional love. My wife has seen the pain her mother has felt when other siblings have left the church. Yes her mom still deeply loves her children, but she has these false hopes that the kids will eventually come back. My wife went to spend the weekend with her mother and exmormon sister as well as a few others. She actually dug out her old garments in order to not have her mom see through her clothes that he doesn't wear garments anymore. NearKolobitenoreply@blogger.com
