Emerging from the ashes. The story of my exit from Mormonism and adjustment to post-Mormon life. Tuesday, February 05, 2008. I've been reading this fabulous book, eat, pray, love. By Elizabeth Gilbert. You've likely heard of it or at least seen it around, as it is a #1 New York Times Bestseller. As the cover proudly proclaims. It was recommended to me by both my devout mother-in-law and by fellow DAMU blogger, love medicine. Who has exponentially expanded my To Read list). Both quotes are from p. 175.

“They can leave the church, but they can’t be left alone.” | He Gave me my Eyes, that I might See
https://bumponlog.wordpress.com/2008/10/18/they-can-leave-the-church-but-they-cant-be-left-alone
He Gave me my Eyes, that I might See. Removing the blinders of Mormonism. 8220;They can leave the church, but they can’t be left alone.”. Anyone remember the ageless quote about being able to “leave the church but they can’t leave the church alone? 8221; It’s held up as proof positive that The Church is the one true church. After all, look at all these people who leave the church but CAN’T let go of it! Because evidentally the church cannot leave us alone. Amazingly, this is the same woman who called ove...

I’m getting angry again. | He Gave me my Eyes, that I might See
https://bumponlog.wordpress.com/2008/09/17/im-getting-angry-again
He Gave me my Eyes, that I might See. Removing the blinders of Mormonism. I’m getting angry again. I tend to go through phases. At times I don’t really care about the Mormon church or what it’s done/doing. Other times I just get downright pissed off. Right now I’m in a downright pissed off mood. 8221; At least according to Mormon doctrine? And so many people buy their shit. They think that they are following god. They really do. They live lives of good and do the best they can, and they have ...You are c...

My first temple experience | He Gave me my Eyes, that I might See
https://bumponlog.wordpress.com/2009/03/15/my-first-temple-experience
He Gave me my Eyes, that I might See. Removing the blinders of Mormonism. My first temple experience. With all the talk of HBO and Big Love and the temple ceremony and how they are GOING to get it wrong and ridicule it, I thought I would write of my first time through the temple and how I felt about it. I felt inspired after checking out MSP today. They took me into the bride’s room, which is a beautiful room with gorgeous lighting, and a large number of brides all packed in to get ready for their ...

Inclusion | He Gave me my Eyes, that I might See
https://bumponlog.wordpress.com/2008/12/22/inclusion
He Gave me my Eyes, that I might See. Removing the blinders of Mormonism. Fig and I went to a UU Winter Solstice Service yesterday. I won’t lie and say it was spectacular or that it was an awesome service, but it was very interesting. I enjoyed learning something new. I enjoyed aspects of the service A LOT. I’m very much a comfort zone person, so I get that a one time visit would not be the most comfortable experience for me. And it just goes to show you how the devil will lead you astray…. On a lighter ...

No other success blah blah blah | He Gave me my Eyes, that I might See
https://bumponlog.wordpress.com/2008/09/03/no-other-success-blah-blah-blah
He Gave me my Eyes, that I might See. Removing the blinders of Mormonism. No other success blah blah blah. But is it true? Is there no other success that is more important than “failure at home? 8221; Is there no higher calling that a man or woman can have? Is there never an occasion when a person has to put some other purpose above their family? So, do we toss out all the accomplishments of Reagan the President, the Governor, the Statesman? I argue that his other successes do. If the son didn’t go...

My brother’s big fat wedding | He Gave me my Eyes, that I might See
https://bumponlog.wordpress.com/2008/08/18/my-brothers-big-fat-wedding
He Gave me my Eyes, that I might See. Removing the blinders of Mormonism. My brother’s big fat wedding. So my brother and his bride got the best of both worlds: a very nice outdoor wedding with all their friends and family and all the traditions, plus a private, small temple ceremony. I am happy for them that they get to do it this way. I think this is the way that all mormons in the USA should be able to do it. I am pretty sure I saw S. do a double-take at that. Had we come off as that deluded? Is reall...
