//I’ve never heard of anyone whining about wasted food. We certainly haven’t had that issue. //
Almost every exmo I know does. Not rotating fast enough, buying too much etc. Money and time and food wasted. And Mormon view is it is for them, not others and certainly not gentiles? I don’t hate Mormons, I spent 20 years owning a transition ministry to help those who leave. Few hate mormons, most pity them and want them out of the cult.
Where is your wife faith wise now? How old was she when she left? Convert or born in? Temple? Yes it does affect the view on things like this and defense of the LDS church.
She was born and raised into it. Followed faithfully through her late teen years. She tells me she started questioning the faith fairly young, when she was about 12, but she hung in because ma & pa were and still are devout.
She was actually baptized into the Baptist church about 2 years ago, aster a # of years exploring the world, and pretty much feels the way I do (I've NEVER had any experience with mormonism) and sees that it was a con job to begin with.
