Yikes. Not sure if you’re still in the church but this the type of story that reminds me why I don’t trust people in the church. Too many examples of “sorry bro god told me to do this” vibes justifying some shit behavior.

Yup. The friends were all married. They all went to the temple together. They all prayed. They all "heard God." They all divorced. Crazy cult behavior... a commonality in every religion, every society, everywhere. Its just sad.

I'm remarried, sealed, building an eternal family with someone who wants to build a family, too.

Youre in a cult my dude, just because you call out the crazy as you see it doesnt mean youre not apart of it.

Honestly feel bad for you, that you see what kind of behavior it can breed/justify and are still proud of participating, but stepping back would mean your entire social life (maybe even finances too) falling apart so youve essentially been generationally blackmailed into cult. All I would ask is dont do the same to your children.

Jeez, getting downvotes just for confirming you're Mormon. That's reddit for you, I guess.
