I've been through this too and have always jokingly called myself asexual. I find men more physically attractive than I do other women but I still do not want to date them or sleep with them. My family harasses me all the time about not dating…

Nate, I would like to second what Polly shared. You have the same rights and responsibilities as anyone else. What and how you do or do not particpate in "private affairs" has no bearing on your value or your ability to…
pollypinks replied to Nathan_The_Wise's discussion 'Still sick to my stomache'
Nathan, whatever your sexuality, you deserve the same rights and freedoms as everyone else. And that includes religion, if one were to choose that. I know you've mentioned single fatherhood, and I have nothing against that.…

It will be a challenge at times, trying to work out things that will change and finding a new way to live life, it does get better. Many that have left feel the same type of things, new freedoms and expressions. Like many who have left, I am far…

The greatest actors in the world are ones who aren't afraid to look like assholes in front of lots of people.

Just to remind everyone, it has been almost 11 months since I first posted this, so my feelings now aren't exactly the same as my feelings then. The reason I left the church on that day has remained the same simply because the past cannot…

Thanks. I just keep going, fighting. I try to work hard and not get too down on myself when everything doesn't go exactly how I'd like it to. Good advice though. Good to have someone in my corner, thanks!

My moral dilemma
Posted by Lamanita2000 on January 24, 2012 at 1:40pm 3 Comments 0 Likes
IT's been about 10 years since I decided to walk away from mormonism. However, it was long before than the doubting and questioning began. I was born in the church and was the center of my early years. I was conditioned and educated to be a TBM. I even read the BoM befor I was baptised at age 8, a the same time I was learning about the native peoples of the Americas in School. The facts never matched and I had trouble believeing th BoM stories, although it had great adventures and courageous…

My Cry For Help
Posted by AThinker on January 14, 2012 at 10:41pm 9 Comments 0 Likes
I envy those who have another in their life. Ones that are close by, to love, hold, and be with. My heart cannot stand it, and I wonder about death.
My girlfriend is far away, and I am alone. My sister is far away, and I am doubly alone. I'm empty, dead, forever alone. I am without comfort, save for the little messages I get from my sister. She's trying her best, by sending virtual "hugs", but those don't work.
I want to have REAL comfort. I need to be held, to be loved. No one…

Introduction
There are many sources that condition us for passiveness, aggression and passive aggressiveness. You could write a lengthy blog on how religion, environment, and culture can cause these behaviors, but my intentions for this post are to help us undo this conditioning so that we can move into much healthier relationships with spouses, family, friends and strangers. Communicating assertively allows us to express our thoughts and feelings without…
