You gotta pass by a form to the preacher to leave for any reason

20912 - 

And thats mostly reserved for church staff

20912 - 

but what if somebody didnt believe anymore and wanted to leave the church wntirwly?

21128 - 

what would they do?

21128 - 

sorry if thats sensitive

21128 - 

Uh, probably excommunicate them for Apostasy

20912 - 

so the only way to leave is to be excommunicated?

21128 - 

Correc

20912 - 

Purple, can I ask you a really heavy question?

21128 - 

Yea, sure

20912 - 

I dont mind as long as I don dox myself

20912 - 

Do you believe in your church at all? Or do you only believe because your parents want you to? Do you have your own faith?

21128 - 

Thats a hard question for me to answer

20912 - 

i realized i was agnostic cause a friend asked me something similar

21128 - 

Ive been puzzling over that myself

20912 - 

its ok, u dont have to answer it rn

21128 -

21128 - 

Not yet

20912 - 

Thats a part of the informational this coming sunday

20912 - 

alright

21128 - 

i do want you to understand i am not hating on your church

21128 - 

Biggest event so far, everybody is expected to be there and not in their dorms or anywhere else

20912 - 

Im aware

20912 - 

a friend of mine asked me a very similar question a few minths back, and it basically shifted my whole view on my religion

21128 - 

My parents are LDS (Mormon) and ive been raised mormon my whole life

21128 - 

I mean, our preacher assures us that nobody or nothing can hurt us here

20912 - 

but that made me realize i only believed because my parents wanted me to

21128 - 

helpp I have no idea what I want to do in life

24125 - 

I'm so damn apathetic

24125 - 

do consider that your preacher is likely biased

21128 - 

He has no reason to lie to us regardless

20912 - 

ok
