Elder Packer Passes

i remember going through a journey as an active member from age 19 to 29. i gave up smoking at 19 and became active again in the church. i progressed in my “putting off the natural man” to a point in my mid 20’s (23,24) where i was able to obtain a temple recommend. i was a tbm. looking back i had gotten quite judgemental. i had really become socialized as a tbm member. i remember how judgemental i was about sexual issues, so much so i had said something critical to my gay uncle. there was a married man in one of my classes in college and he had a fellow student who was a girlfriend. he didn’t seem to care about what others thought about his infidelity. i remember thinking “how could he act that way and think nothing about how he looks to others ?”.

i think you get the drift of my attitude back then being an orthodox Mormon. fast forward to today and now i have viewed some “i-am-an-ex-mormon” videos on YouTube and some of my thinking isn’t much different from some of the ex-mo’s lol ! 😆 one thing for sure i am heck of a lot less judgemental today ! 😆
