Recently, while searching for a new housemate, a woman answered our ad, came over for an interview and now she is living with us. I did not want her to move in, I was uncomfortable. We found out that she is an escapee of the Mormon church. I had her peggedfreeradicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06687455603132952478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889091745815151535.post-40050278189523335882015-04-02T15:03:50.410-06:002015-04-02T15:03:50.410-06:00Just Jill,

I enjoyed your post, it made me think about how different my outlook is now compared to when I was a TBM.<br /><br />I very much enjoy my life outside the Mormon confines. Morality in the church is defined so differently than it is outside. <br /><br />I think I'm a fairly respectable, moral person with no skeletons. (outside the church anyway).

If the big white man in leadership said x y and z were sins I believed them. To me it was better to just do what they say. After all- God was watching always. <br />Its gotta be hard to date this time around.

I know there's a huge community of LDS swingers, peeps who have a garment fetish, etc. I've wondered how they justify what they do every Sunday when they go to church and take the sacrament. <br />If I were to ever become single I know I couldn't date a Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15224987243792978016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889091745815151535.post-67518395944376912392015-03-29T18:44:33.588-06:002015-03-29T18:44:33.588-06:00Hi Jamie,

As a normal young man, I struggled with the battle between my beliefs and my desires.<br /><br />You're one of the few rare ones who ever get out. Most don't. As you know, it can be a scary journey to abandon that god you have feared all your life. To reject him is to chose damnation.
