It was the same for me. Luckily I married a man that helped me with that realization.<br /><br />I've never been gung ho on discussing my Mormon religion either. I'm not sure why. It has nothing to do with being embarrassed. It's very much a part of who I am, I just don't go out of my way to discuss it, I suppose. I look forward to the second part of this post.Staceyhttp://www.staceysmotheringmoments.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13871850.post-55890091319095554392011-02-28T19:06:18.934-07:002011-02-28T19:06:18.934-07:00The best part of this?

My comment would be too long. However, I can SO relate to much of what you said! Things I'd love to tell you about: I was confronted by my high school history teacher when we got to the section on religions, how my brother responded to weird questions about our religion (for example: Where are your horns? and What are you doing at the dance? I thought you were a Mormon) and what happens when the vacation bible school we were attending found out we were LDS.Gerbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13103247512887532095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13871850.post-85455126498583316022011-02-28T10:42:36.969-07:002011-02-28T10:42:36.969-07:00Interesting that you're writing about this top...Interesting that you're writing about this topic, because I also wrote about what it's like to be a Mormon in my last post. <br /><br />I grew up in Oregon, and was one of very few members at my school. I too got lectured about what I believe, which was some combination of witchcraft, polygamy, and only drinking 7up. <br /><br />But I get you on the guilt. Boy do I get you. I've realized for me that it's more of a function of my upbringing and life experiences, and I've done a lot better accepting myself once I started discussing it with my therapist instead of my bishop. Cause as we've discussed before...depression is not caused by sin. But most of my bishops have supposed that it wasNicolehttp://www.cuteculturechick.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13871850.post-50220140618901284712011-02-28T10:06:42.429-07:002011-02-28T10:06:42.429-07:00The wife-beating thing .... seriously, what?The wife-beating thing .... seriously, what?Fighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09212652442792835835noreply@blogger.com
