(5,500 posts)I likely was confusing counsel with commandments. Personally I could no longer continue being a part of that church knowing my tithing dollars were used to bankroll Prop 8 and limit the civil rights of a whole group of American citizens. that was the last straw. There was no way around it - unwitting or not - I was a part of the problem, not part of the solution. When the church bosses were finally forced to tell the truth and admit they had lied about their financial support for Prop 8 - I was left with absolutely no respect for them at all. They created a cover-up to hide what they were doing - probably because they feared the financial implications of their actions. Hardly the actions of honorable men.
Keep fighting the good fight but don't expect to see me back in "the Ward" anytime soon.
