Public Apology

[davidgreen4008]

This is going to be short, as it's late and I am tired. However, I owe every member of the church a sorry. I used to mock the church, as an elder, maybe even before. I called the followers marmots, and the meeting houses marmot dens. I used to spread south park jokes degrading the church, while grining from ear to ear. All of this was done with no reason.

Read 2nd Timothy: 3, that's been me short of I haven't read the book of Mormon, and don't have a decent knowledge of Christ.

I'm sorry for downgrading the church and it's members, I am sorry to each and every one of you. I hope that I will be allowed forgiveness from you all.

Sincerely,

David Green

I think that South Park episode was actually very kind to Mormons, in a way, while it mocked how the religion was created, it did show the people as purely happy (the other characters wanting to be Mormon to try and capture just a bit of the joy the Mormons had because they were so miserable), and as one of them said, that regardless to if the book was true or not, it had given them a great life and a wonderful family.

I don't think you need to apologize, I was far more uncouth to religion in general, not just the LDS church (mind you, the LDS church avoided my scornful words because at the time, I didn't know Mormons and LDS' were the same thing) and all I knew about Mormons was they came to my door- but so did Jehovah's Witnesses and I couldn't tell them apart.

I know a lot more now, but haven't become a member for... a few small reasons...

mind you I don't understand the Super Best Friends episode (with the various profits and such as superhero-sorts, parodying the Super Friends show)

ohh no not really, more nervousness. I get panicy sometimes especially if everyone is paying attention to me. I am used to slinking around unseen. The prospect of socializing so much, frankly scares me to death.

I am just not used to it (I've always been a loner, I never even had friends until my 20s).

Like every religion there are things I don't agree with, but none of them really get in the way of anything I think

yeah I am one of those rare personality types (the 2nd rarest, my friend who made me take the test was the rarest- we got along well)

where before my life was ruled by my hobbies, where I live now no one else shares those (and yugioh is only on Sunday's)

I have felt lost and alone you know?

(Do you have to like work? I don't want to go from 0 to 50, I'll have a panic attack)

This is probably one of those hit and run posts. I have a friend that knew this person in school and he also did some apologies of a different nature on his facebook page too.

Are we allowed to post full names? It doesn't matter I guess. There's like a hundred David Greens in Utah according to Facebook.

You've probably caught on by now that many if not most converts have their :: blushes :: story or history. Heck. My girlfriends and I used to open the door nekkid and willfully try and subvert missionaries. Cummupance. 5:6 of us have converted over the past 20 years. All of us have boys.

Heck! I still do open the door naked. Prolly not for the same reasons.

Sometimes, the stallion has to run. And run free.
