Yeah, this is true. It's why a lot of church stories go like this:Liar Revealed wrote: ↑Fri Jan 26, 2018 12:36 amBwa-ha-ha!!!![]()
OK, suddenly EVERYTHING makes sense now
Maybe it's because they're not used to thinking for themselves and letting The Church dictate how to live their lives. And then also I think it's aimless, idiotic "fuck you Dad" rebellion against all The Church's oppressive rules. except these ex-Mormons don't usually know where to draw the line. So instead of, "Fuck you Joseph Smith, I'm gonna drink a beer", it's "fuck you, I'm gonna drink hard liquor 24/7!! And what the hell, I'll experiment with drugs, too!!"
"I was raised a christfag, but then I fell away from it and started doing hard drugs, drinking all the time, chain smoking, fucking prostitutes and robbing convenience stores. Then I was sent to prison and "repented for muh sins" and now I'm an "upstanding" citizen. Look at all that jebus crust did for me."
Aka "I'm an ex-con with a drug addiction history who absolutely cannot be trusted around kids, valuable possessions or anything else, because my reformation came as a result of me bullshitting myself to imagine my nature had changed. In reality, I was lonely because I had poisoned my life and pushed everyone away, and I needed a new ready-made community to slip into, where people would trust me and believe me by default."
GG. Then churches wonder why they have a problem with sexual harassment and pedophilia. You give people power they didn't earn and forgiveness for bad shit the people themselves never made amendments for.
I knew church members who stole shit, cheated on their taxes and all kinds of shit. But yeah, usually ex-church members have no restraint with what they consider sins. They can't drink just 1 beer or smoke just a little weed in moderation.
