Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost: October 2012
http://afruitfulactivemind.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost. What This Blog Is. Sunday, October 21, 2012. I just really hate this, and I want to post it somewhere so I can say I hate it. I've never understood the "fill my heart with you, Lord" kind of thing. So much of that evangelical language sounds like either romantic or sexual love to me, and in the context of a relationship with God that just weirds the crap out of me. But this "empty me of me" business? Why would you want to be emptied of yourself? Friends People I Stalk.

Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost: May 2012
http://afruitfulactivemind.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost. What This Blog Is. Friday, May 18, 2012. 2008 was a pretty formative year for me, apparently. In a way, that year was the end of a whole phase of my life and the beginning of a new and completely different one. Two major things happened: I got married and I became a liberal. Their family. Run by their parents, and they actively participate.). I don't really miss these friends, because the way they treated me was so unbelievably bad. Her own, it's a gift from God. The re...

Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost. What This Blog Is. Monday, August 13, 2012. I wish I could travel just a little bit into the future, so I could see whether I'm safe rolling my eyes at women who get pregnant and don't say a single non-baby-related word for at least the next year, or if that's going to be me too, and then I'll just look silly.

Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost: June 2012

Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost. What This Blog Is. Tuesday, June 19, 2012. But I'm in the Feminist Mormon Housewives Facebook group, and they talk a lot about the temple in there. Mostly about garments, which I've never worn and probably never will wear. And you would think that should mean I just don't care about the conversations, not that they actually bother me. But they do. I've always had a lot of trouble with the idea of the temple. And obviously my faith was crap. But in the end, that knowledg...

Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost. What This Blog Is. Monday, July 22, 2013. Why Do You Believe? Wednesday, July 17, 2013. Twenty-eight years old. This is the point I've been waiting for, when I'll be able to predict how I'm going to turn out. What do I believe about the LDS church? What kind of connection do I want to maintain with my Mormon background? What do I believe about Christianity and God in general? The answers: I don't care. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost: Tommy and Joe

Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost. What This Blog Is. Monday, September 24, 2012. Here's a thing that bothers me about a lot of ex-Mormons. I don't have a problem with talking about crappy church policies and practices, ways that you were hurt by Mormon beliefs, or things that you think are wrong with the system. I don't have a problem with anger, because the kind of hurt a lot of Mormons experience at the hands of the church is. It's just not necessary, okay? September 24, 2012 at 10:24 PM. This very th...

Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost. What This Blog Is. Sunday, July 22, 2012. If it weren't for that one thing. But I know firsthand how damaging the church's attitude toward sexuality is. I know how destructive the gender roles are to people who grow up being taught that they are God's Intended Way. There's no way I feel okay about exposing children to that kind of garbage, and I don't care to expose myself to it either, because it makes me angry and sick to hear. Saturday, July 21, 2012. And then we fin...

Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost. What This Blog Is. Monday, February 27, 2012. Being Small for the Sacrament. I just remembered, while reading this post at Doves and Serpents. And now I am absolutely mortified that such a thing was on my mind. That I, the most naive and sexually un-experienced Mia Maid in the world, was not only aware of this but felt responsible. For it, thought there were actual steps I needed to take to prevent it from happening—without the boys' knowledge, even! Oh, that made my he...
