Adelita D commented on Darrel Ray's group 'Recovering from Religion'
unfortunately I can relate....having been indoctrinated and then leaving and then going back under pressure a couple times it really is difficult to not fall back into the familiar.  The last 2 years have been hard but worth it.  I have to…

Adelita D replied to Monica S.'s discussion 'Introduction and How I got here. I applogize for length' in the group Recovering from Religion
Does the feeling of being stupid ever go away?  I know these things were ingrained in me as a young, people pleaser of a child...and that I am not to blame, (how does a child have a true choice in that situation?) but how do you get over…

First of all I am sending you a big hug!  I can certainly relate to what you have said and are saying.  I love how people who are supposed to love, care for and watch out for you automatically (maybe to "save face" with the…

I don't get those ads. I heard one in the car the other day and thought it was a new Mastercard or some such campaign and then they got to "and I'm a Mormon" and I thought WHAT!?! For YEARS....decades and beyond they have built…

Adelita D replied to suzanne Buzz's discussion 'Why do many christians ignore all the bad things in the bible like Numbers 31:7-18?' in the group Life After Christian Fundamentalism
Well, I don't know about all Christians....but some of the ones I know look at it like a History lesson. History repeats itself and when they read things like this they think it teaches us what not to do or how not to behave. Now I am sure that…

Adelita D replied to Brianna Starfish's discussion 'My mom is driving me CRAZY!' in the group Recovering from Religion
All of them??? Good grief...and they want "YOU" to be "grown up" or "Mature" about this? rofl what about them.. there is the double standard again. Nope, keep her off and delete the rest and say "I'll see you…

It is your facebook. It is your right to express your thoughts and opinions. It is her choice to be offended or feel something in particular. She wouldn't feel offended if there wasn't something in her brain telling her that she is missing…

Adelita D commented on Brother Richard's group 'Life After Christian Fundamentalism'
Thank you for commenting and posting Clifford! I have been going through a rough period in the past couple weeks trying to figure out why I sabotage myself in certain efforts. Why I feel so inferior, unworthy, or stupid--knowing full well I am none…

About Me
A born and raised Mormon who has had trouble with doctrine for a very long time but hasn't been able to fully leave (they always seem to find me) until recently after telling my mom and crazy sister to kiss off. Since then I have read Nate Phelps site and related to what happened to him as a child. Everyone used to tell me my parents meant well, just wanted me to learn discipline, etc....I wanted to know how I deserved to be beaten bloody for things I never did and how God--or Jesus--justified such things. I concluded there is no "God" as defined fundamentally and that Jesus would be royally pissed off if he could see his words twisted and used against little innocent children. I have chosen (with support of hubby) a very different path with my dear children. We all have left the church even if the church isn't completely gone yet.

Hi Adelita, and welcome to this friendly meeting place where freethinking non-theists recognise that religion is a huge deception aimed at controlling vulnerable superstitious people, including defenceless children; and
how tragic and inexcusable it is that women and minorities have been oppressed these last two thousand years and even longer.
