Folks, you may have noticed a theme of late... I've really been trying to move away from criticizing religion, and moving towards blogging about more positive aspects of my life and plans to pursue a more minimalist approach to life. Something better, as it says in my header to this blog.
I've also been minding my P's and Q's when I have been in attendance at Church meetings lately, for a rather important reason...
I'm going to elaborate more on this in the coming week as decisions are made, emotions are tempered and hopefully a nice big mess is resolved. I do however feel that I should warn all who read this blog that if you are pro-Mormon, you are not going to like what you read, and I'm am likely to get pretty damn offensive as I discuss this as well.
So with all that in mind... If you're going to be offended, might I suggest you take a week or two off from reading my posts. And if you're not easily offended, then please fasten all seat belts and keep your hands inside at all times.
If you decide to ignore that warning, and you then feel the need to leave comments criticizing my approach to life and religion, please be warned that my response will probably not be to your liking.
Either way, it's your choice!
Hells yeah! I'm in for that ride!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Maureen!! I suspect you'll thoroughly enjoy it. And you should know that some of the couragous stuff you've done in the past year are providing some inspiration to me... The next week will see just how much of that trigger I have the balls to go ahead and pull.
ReplyDeleteI may not like what I read, but I always like you, and I think you should be courageous and follow your heart and mind. Plus, I'm nearly unoffendable and have proven that I don't heed your well-meant warnings. Good luck with the situation ahead!
ReplyDeleteThanks Emily!!
ReplyDeleteIf it helps I can guarantee that this will not be anywhere near as disturbing as the last post with a warning ;-) and my apologies again for that one!!
I can't wait. And good job on setting boundaries first. It tends to ease the shock and backlash.
ReplyDeleteSheesh, now you've given away the all-important element of surprise.
ReplyDeleteNever mind. I'm strapped in and ready to go!
You are such a teaser!
ReplyDeleteI am anxiously waiting for more of the story as well. Good luck with whatever it is you are doing. I’m sure it will be worth it.
ReplyDeleteSorry folks - It wasn't so much an element of surprise I was going for, more just as TGD said... Setting some boundaries up first - and a likely fruitless attempt to avoid offense, because in all seriousness... Who in their right mind stops reading when they get told not too!!
ReplyDeleteI was going to start the story this morning, but I had to take care of another rather unpleasant matter first - talk about bad timing!!
I'm still trying to decide how to approach this whole thing though... I have acquired a lot of baggage over the past decade with respect to my membership in the lds church, and in some respects I feel that it would be important to share, just so readers don't think I'm taking this too lightly.
The matter at hand is a very serious one, and particularly if you are a TBM, it should be taken very seriously.
Of course at the same time, this baggage evokes in me a lot of anger and emotional pain. I worry too that I might be sharing it out of spite.
I had a friend who committed suicide a month or so back, and his last message to the world was a facebook status which simply read... "This could all be over soon".
I might say the same thing, except I have no intentions of leaving this life... Rather I believe that it will be a huge leap forward in my journey to actually live my life, and enjoy the wonderful experiences that it offers.
