Sad.

This past week I have been feeling so sad.  It seems like most of my friends are leaving the church.  And these are people who wanted to stay.  Who fought for years to find a place for themselves.  and then when they couldn't find a place, they fought to make a place.  One by one they are giving up.  and it makes me sad.  Not because I worry about their eternal salvation (I don't at all--they are all amazing, impressive, kind, good people) but because my church is a better place with them. I'm sad because it doesn't seem like many Mormon's realize that.  I am sad because when they leave it makes it harder for me to stay.  Mormonism is my home, my spiritual scaffolding and my culture.  For at least the past year, I have been in a good place with the church.  God answered my prayers and told me He wanted me to be Mormon.  but maybe that time is coming to an end.  Don't worry this isn't some declaration.  Just an observation that more and more it seems like "my kind" isn't welcome

This IS so sad! We need people of all backgrounds and opinions in our Church! I'm disappointed in the members and church PR department that seem to be discouraging these sisters from staying in the church! I want you (and your friends!) to stay! I love you!

If I judged the church based on comments left by "good" members about the OW issue, I would RUN THE OTHER WAY! I find the intolerance and unkindness so distressing. I am stunned at this backlash, and ever more determined that I (and YOU, and all of us!!!) am needed in this pool.

Nicotine salts have been in the news a lot and if you're a smoker or a non-smoker and thinking about giving up smoking there are two good reasons to give them a try. Nicotine salts also help you avoid getting headaches and feeling irritable when you get stressed out.

Man is actually alive when humanity is present in him. otherwise, life is useless without humanity. Therefore, I believe that if any human being is in any difficulty, then we should offer a helping hand without wasting time in thinking about the religion, caste, culture, or color of the person who is struggling with difficulty.
