To them it isn’t “anti-mormonism” (meaning the teachings). It is “anti-mormon” because it is about them, their experience, their feelings.

when you renounce mormonism, you are renouncing THEIR feelings and experiences. That is all that matters.

You have hit the nail on the head. That is exactly what it is and why they are so hostile. By claiming their church is wrong, we are claiming that their feelings are wrong.

Well said indeed.

FEELINGS

Feelings, nothing more than feelings,
trying to forget my feelings of love.
Teardrops rolling down on my face,
trying to forget my feelings of love.

Feelings, for all my life I’ll feel it.
I wish I’ve never met you, girl; you’ll never come again.

Feelings, wo-o-o feelings,
wo-o-o, feel you again in my arms.

Feelings, feelings like I’ve never lost you
and feelings like I’ve never have you again in my heart.

Feelings, for all my life I’ll feel it.
I wish I’ve never met you, girl; you’ll never come again.

Feelings, feelings like I’ve never lost you
and feelings like I’ve never have you again in my life.

Feelings, wo-o-o feelings,
wo-o-o, feelings again in my arms.
Feelings...(repeat & fade fast)

“That is exactly what it is and why they are so hostile.”

I used to really get upset when my faith was criticized but of late I have come to realize that it’s a good thing. Persecution gives us reason to rejoice.

Also, for them to be wrong means so many people they love are wrong too. Including people who have died.

We were talking about Joe Biden's ashes on the other thread. My thoughts have always been founded in my disdain for the show offs, the big talkers and those seeking notice in the wrong way, like "I'm the one that went to the temple" so, "I'm better than you". Or folks that wear a ribbon to show how much more they care about something than you do.

Then I saw the following quote on another thread and it hit me right in the face.
