This article broke my shelf

That is so interesting Dkormond. I will look into reading that book. I had been frustrated, stressed and extremely anxious throughout my time as a very active member. When I read these articles and other books, I realized that it could be that I’m not just weak, lazy, or uncaring. It could be that the institution has been wrong in making all of the demands on the promise that you get to be with your family and live forever with God. The amount of guilt I have felt over the years from not measuring up has really taken a toll on me.

I realize that this is not everyone’s experience and so they may not view it the same way as I have come to but these articles were such a relief to read that maybe this is not all my fault.

Thanks again for the book suggestion!

I just found the main article that just flipped a switch in me. It hurt my testimony more than any church history fact ever could.
