What's Different Now? Before and After Resigning from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
I'm Not Bothered Anymore I used to be so absolutely disturbed and embarrassed whenever I would see a news article or movie description of members or organizations of the church doing or saying ignorant, unChristlike, hateful, or otherwise untasteful things. I'm supposed to be a part of something where the culture is wholesome and inviting and loving, maybe even more so than any other religious group. I was bothered by things that had been stated by general authorities that had been proven false or were at least called into question to such a point that most are satisfied claiming they're false. Sometimes, inaccurate but negative portrayals of our core beliefs or culture sank into my heart. As much as I tried to ignore them all...I couldn't. Now I don't get bothered by it as much. I'm definitely sad to see members being unChristlike, but I recognize the difference between actual gospel doctrine that I believe in and the church...
