Darthrush, from what I’ve gathered throughout the history of your posts regarding your religion, you are very clearly uncomfortable with it and don’t belong there. I don’t think you should keep participating. I don’t really have any advice because I understand the difficulty of your situation, especially given the Mormon church’s tendency to ostracize people who leave.
Thank you for the advice moviefreakedmind. I am currently in high school and my dad is the stake president so I am probably going to have to wait until college to leave the church. It’ll be a hell of a ride though when I break the news to them. After skimming the exmormon reddit threads I decided it is best to slowly give clear hints of my issues with the church all done in a respectful and cordial manner. Then it will not be as sudden. I started this strategy by casually saying that I disagree with the churches stance on gay rights. After my dad heard this, he was a little taken aback but since he couldn’t really argue that, nothing got heated. If I take these sort of things one at a time, it’ll make everything easier.
Good on you man, you do what you need to do for you and it sounds like your strategy is solid and respectful. I’m sorry that your questions about the faith aren’t being answered very well, but a lot of times people don’t like questions because they can’t answer them and it makes them question their own faith.
Good luck, you’ve got my support either way!
