Offended
A common dismissive explanation for why people leave the church. While some do leave after negative interpersonal experiences, this label is often used to avoid engaging with substantive concerns about history or doctrine. Many ex-members reclaim this term ironically.

sallygirl75I was a mormon for 43 years. Now I'm not. Now I live my values with integrity. Stoic philosophy reminds me to have balance and fortitude. The courage to admit when I'm wrong. And it's ok to not have all the answers.Create an account to share your own story.
