I’m sorry you feel this way. I said from the very start of this topic that there were 2 reasons In my experience that youth left the church.

1- unreconciled sin and the inability to utilize the atonement of Christ.

2- thinking church was not exciting enough.

Here’s what you said in your post that made me think you felt that way, and thus fell under the #2 “box” if you will...

"I found Church it’s self excruciatingly boring."Post # 941

I'm sorry that you are so offended. You come into this thread trashing the LDS and relate your "experience" to ward off unsuspecting lurkers. (even though that's not what this forum is for at all!) The fact that I have seen this happen before in other boys who similarly left seems hard for you to swallow. While it's nto common, it does happen, and the pattern is the same. Usually it's bases on parents who didn't teach their children by example, but I can't say that about your parents, that would be rude. I do however suspect something similar, but you are probably wise to leave them out of your story as you have done. Again, I am sorry you were offended. Equally, I'm sorry I was offended at the posts you have offered here. All the best.

You did not read his post. Mormonism is extremely boring. THAT ISN”T WHY HE LEFT!!

Did you read his story? I did.

Perhaps you need to stop guessing what compels others and start looking at that beam in your eye.

Your grammar in this post is barely intelligible.

It just happens to be the first one I happened to view when I looked on the computer again.

All I can say is you are wrong. Who are you to say what these forums are about. Do you personally own them? If you do, cut me off. That will show what Mormonazi-ism really is about.

Your reasoning, that lack of excitement was my reason for leaving the Church, is ridiculous as well. Most of the kids I knew were bored in church, I just had the courage, eventually, to throw off all the phony pretending and go my way.

The rest of your post is nearly incomprehensible.
