Better to be a true repenter.

Spoken like a true sinner.

Don’t delete too many of the snarky comments on here. I find reading them instructive. It reminds me that the church has enough members who think that because Christ is our judge, they should be too. It also discourages me from ever speaking up in any but an anonymous forum to admit that I have been in situations like she describes in the Glamour article. (Long time ago. Repentance over and done. Sh. Don’t tell my kids. Don’t tell my Relief Society pals either. Even though they lots of them did the same things.)

I admire her for speaking so freely and honestly about things nobody will touch, and I admire her for handling her challenges better than me. And I admire her gifted sense of humour which is the reason she can pull it off.

Someday maybe we’ll mature enough to actually accept that we are all (every one of us, including the fake-name snarks) a bunch of half-reformed sinners who depend entirely on the grace of the atonement.

I just took exception to the idea that the issue had anything to do with Mormon patriarchy.
