This is a great board, but I'm finding that if I'm going to try to have a marriage with a Mormon I can't let myself get so filled with hatred. I'm NOT saying that all of you are filled with hatred, just that I found myself becoming more angry and filled with bitterness the more I have read and participated here.
Again: This is MY reaction, not necessarily yours
Caveat: Yes, Mormonism needs to be utterly destroyed - completely and utterly.
But, I don't think I'm up for the fight. I'm going to be on the sidelines and cheer you on, but I'm going to be there, not on the field. To those of you who are, I wish you all success in your endeavors.
The reason I think I have come here is that every day, for the last month or so I've been reading the following in my morning prayer:
The prayer of St. Francis
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy;
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Not preaching - this is what I feel called to do and to become if my family ever is to become Christians.
Slainte,
