Ah, the Glory Days
Two days ago I got to hang out with 2 colleagues that I don't work with day-to-day, but only indirectly, as in that they work for us freelance. We sat on my back patio, on a cool afternoon, casually getting to know each other better. We talked of leaving the LDS church, and shared our individual stories (something I don't get to do much anymore).
Why do I bring this up? Well. A while back I used to write. A lot. Perhaps not a LOT, but you get the gist. I just read an old blog post of mine, and I thought, "This shouldn't be sitting in the dust. I'm proud of this. This post should be revisited."
So here I am, selling out, but loving to be able to post a link from an old "finding la" post. Good times.

I love reading your thoughts. One, because you are 'real'. Two, because you are honest, say things how they are, and put things like it is. Three, because you are you and I love you!!!!

Ya know, I don't think I realised before this that you had officially exited as well. How long have you been out of Ye Olde Church? I'd kinda pegged you in the tolerant-believer or questioning-believer category, but I don't know why. Pardon my obtuseness if you've ever broached the subject with me before.
I have a lot of friends in the transitional or believing-but-tolerant categories so I tend not to poke people unless I absolutely know they've left. I'm always sort of relieved and excited to find out these things though. I remember that James and Jen and I all sorta slid out in at about the same time in our early twenties, and while I was glad to have two of my best friends on the same journey, there was a bit of an oasis feeling for a while. I keep having people mention it on Facebook or wherever, and it's interesting to see these exoduses.
