As an adult convert I separated the culture from the teachings. The only guilt I have, is what I assign myself to have. I don't care what anyone in the church says, or thinks. The freedom to choose, think, sin, not sin, it is all your choice your agency. <br><br>If you are not doing things, or doing things simply because you are worried about the reaction of the church leaders and members, then you are losing out on the purpose of following the teachers of Heavenly Father, and you might was well do what you want and leave the church.

As a Mormon, you question every little decision wondering if you're "feeling" the spirit. Is this feeling coming from God or Satan? We weigh every feeling and then "Monday Morning Quarterback" the decision to make excuses to justify why God had it turn out the way it did and how you're going to be better off in the long run because you did it a certain way.<br><br>Why can't we just say, "THAT'S LIFE?" Why do we need to be so superstitious to think that with 7.5 billion people on this earth, and all the many other worlds/people without number, that God and Satan are taking the time to influence what sitcom I watch on TV? I swear, the Mormon way of thinking is so closed minded and boxed in.<br><br>I am so grateful to finally realize that good and bad things happen to good people just as much as bad people...THAT'S LIFE! It's depressing to wonder why God would "punish" someone who is trying so hard to be righteous. So Mormons make excuses saying, "you're being chastened", "proven", "tested", etc. Yet the Jack-Mormon across the street that mows his lawn on Sunday seems to not have life so tough?? But don't curse God...you need to look inside yourself and beat yourself up until you realize you could have talked to your kids more loving or read your scriptures longer or gone to the temple one more time. That would've "proved" your love more to God, and that would've given you the Holy Ghost stronger and you wouldn't feel so depressed now.<br><br>It's a vicious cycle of mind-numbing thought manipulation used to keep the general membership in line. Pay your tithing or you won't have the promptings of your conscious...oops, I mean, the Holy Ghost.<br><br>Good riddance!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8223497504999189608.post-2885117736769677442013-09-18T15:05:37.504-07:002013-09-18T15:05:37.504-07:00The Holy Ghost exist in all Christian relgions, no...The Holy Ghost exist in all Christian relgions, not just the Mormon religion. Like usual, David T., takes one aspect of the Mormon religion and blows it way out of proportion. I think this is due in large part to the Mormon culture. As a convert, I don't view the Holy Spirit in the manner in which you do. I see the Holy Spirit as a guide. As an example, if the Holy Spirit was a physical substance oil, and sin, in any form was oil the two wouldn't mix, and if you forced the mix somehow the substance would be contaminated. Neither substance would be being pure. If you as an individual were to decide to place yourself in a contaminated area, or content, the Holy Spirt would not mix well, but the Holy Spirit isn't leaving you, so much as you leaving the Holy Spirit. <br><br>To give another example, my child fell away from the church and the family for a while. During the time she fell away, she was cussing, and drinking. Everything was a battle, she fought and fought. It didn't matter what the subject was, be it religion or every day life, she fought, and cussed, she came home when she wanted to, didn't do chores when she was home, ahd didn't clean up after herself. She was way outside of what was acceptable in our home! Although we didn't throw her out, she was close to being thrown out by us. Why? Because her behavior is outside what was and is acceptable in our house. <br><br>Again, it isn't that the spirit is afraid, or runs away. It is the person that is pulling away, is running away.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8223497504999189608.post-17214934040088335792013-09-12T01:44:55.101-07:002013-09-12T01:44:55.101-07:00Too harsh and too bitter David.

I understand too well how Mormons try to take everything and circumvent it - make it theirs as if all the world fell under the jurisprudence of mormon culture. As if the Holy ghost followed the ever changing whims of Mormonism alone. But let's put blame where blame is due -squarely on the mormon church and it's leaders indoctrination of their interpretation of what or who the holy ghost may be. For the rest of us; let's at least give Jesus some credit...or if not that then remain open to a possible universal spirit of good in the cosmos....etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8223497504999189608.post-66357459394686920502013-09-10T17:20:05.895-07:002013-09-10T17:20:05.895-07:00Amazing.
