The Blissful Heretic: May 2011
http://blissfulheretic.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Life as an ex-Mormon feminist is AWESOME. Thursday, May 5, 2011. Up there who cared about me at all. I had stopped praying a few months previously, because my desperate prayers just weren't being answered. But I decided to give it one last shot. If I was ever going to regain a belief in God, this was his chance. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I am a humanist, an atheist, a Mormon apostate, and, above all, a truth seeker.

The Blissful Heretic: The Family
http://blissfulheretic.blogspot.com/2011/08/family.html
Life as an ex-Mormon feminist is AWESOME. Saturday, August 27, 2011. Because the family is so central to the LDS view of the very meaning of existence, the church places a great deal of emphasis on it. In 1995, the church issued a Proclamation on the Family. All this leads one to ask what exactly the LDS church means when they talk about "the family" When they state from the pulpit that "the family" is "under attack," what do they mean? Mormons believe that the family was intended to be an eternal unit, ...

The Blissful Heretic: June 2011
http://blissfulheretic.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Life as an ex-Mormon feminist is AWESOME. Sunday, June 26, 2011. Dear God: What a year can do. I like looking through my old journal entries. I especially like looking at the things I wrote one year ago, and seeing how I've changed since then. I found this in my journal entry for June 17, 2010:. I mean, I wouldn't want to worship a being who is needlessly cruel. I would find that to be morally reprehensible. Which brings me to my question- why all the weirdness? Where's the sense in that? If you're reall...

The Blissful Heretic: Intellectual abuse
http://blissfulheretic.blogspot.com/2012/05/intellectual-abuse.html
Life as an ex-Mormon feminist is AWESOME. Monday, May 14, 2012. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I am a humanist, an atheist, a Mormon apostate, and, above all, a truth seeker. View my complete profile. This blog started out as a place for me to write about my exit from Mormonism, primarily as a cathartic exercise for my own benefit. I now write in the hope that I can help others who may be starting out of Mormonism sort things through, and that perhaps what I write might encourage people to think.

The Blissful Heretic: July 2011
http://blissfulheretic.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Life as an ex-Mormon feminist is AWESOME. Monday, July 18, 2011. In retrospect I feel profoundly manipulated by girls' camp. It was a tradition that every year on the last night of camp we would have some kind of huge activity meant to bring "the spirit" and strengthen our testimonies, followed by a testimony meeting. This activity could take various forms from year to year, but the most frequent version was a "faith walk.". Links to this post. Sunday, July 10, 2011. When I was in Young Women, modesty wa...

The Blissful Heretic: March 2011
http://blissfulheretic.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Life as an ex-Mormon feminist is AWESOME. Monday, March 7, 2011. I think that in many ways, religion worships mystery. When I look at the history of religion, one of its main purposes seems to be to explain the unexplainable. Where did we come from? Well, Father Time slept with Mother Earth. Or Kukulkán and Tepeu made humans from maize. Or Yahweh made everything in six days. Where do we go when we die? So, when I say religion worships mystery, I mean that it derives its raison d'être. I don't think I hav...

The Blissful Heretic: Disappointment
http://blissfulheretic.blogspot.com/2012/09/disappointment.html
Life as an ex-Mormon feminist is AWESOME. Sunday, September 30, 2012. Disappointment is a recurring thing when you leave the church. First comes the big one- the disappointment that the church you've invested your life in is a crock of shit. That's pretty disappointing. Then you're disappointed at the way people react to your leaving- to their disappointment. It's just kind of a sad cycle of disappointment for everyone. So how do you deal with it? September 30, 2012 at 8:06 PM. Im happy for you! Eliza R&...

The Blissful Heretic: Dick and Jane: or, The Marriage Trap
http://blissfulheretic.blogspot.com/2011/08/dick-and-jane.html
Life as an ex-Mormon feminist is AWESOME. Monday, August 22, 2011. Dick and Jane: or, The Marriage Trap. Dick's top priority right now, as per his former mission president's instructions, is to find a worthy young woman to be his eternal companion. He's been told by his bishop that it's his responsibility to date as much as he can. And so he does, looking for the girl who's meant to be his wife. S statement that "God’s commandment for His children to multiply and replenish the earth remains in forc...
