There really is no middle ground with TBMs, you are either one of them in thinking and belief or you are not.  This is my experience, they assume if you are sitting in their meeting house, you are one of them.
 
I have been trying to find away to co-exist withTSCC because of TBM DW, and this means some participation in TBM activities. I always feel so emotionally abused after TSCC meetings or activities.

“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.”  -Marcus Aurelius

 That's very true.  Mormonism is NOT a religion you can do half way.  They tell us our whole lives that it's all or nothing.  And then, once we figure out what's going on, once we're half way out the door, as a last resort, they'll tell us not to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

What a difficult situation.  I hope some relief comes to you.
 
Personally, I think it was someone like you who leaked the letter that was read in all the wardhouses throughout the country concerning the church's position on Prop 8 and exortation for everyone to step in line and get active limiting other Americans' basic civil rights.  That person did a wonderful thing for gay Americans and the country.  So I'm grateful for those of you who sit through whatever you have to make the truth known.
 
I think it was a blow that the church still hasn't recovered from when sunlight fell on the deeds that they'd previously been able to commit in secrecy.  Those of us who are women still haven't recovered the rights that the ERA would have given us if the LDS hadn't mobilized a small army of women to roll back the ratification that was a hair's breadth from passage.

How about a museum that teaches the truth about mormon history?  Or maybe burn it to the ground.

They should turn it into a prison, but they shouldn't put Warren Jeffs in it (even though the irony would be delicious.)

”I’ve begun worshiping the sun for a number of reasons. First of all, unlike some other gods I could mention, I can see the sun. It’s there for me every day. And the things it brings me are quite apparent all the time: heat, light, food, a lovely day. There’s no mystery, no one asks for money, I don’t have to dress up, and there’s no boring pageantry. And interestingly enough, I have found that the prayers I offer to the sun and the prayers I formerly offered to God are all answered at about the same 50-percent rate.” George Carlin

 Well played. I second that emotion.
 
I love how everything around the building is barren, except for the grounds. Looks classy (not that an organization centered on raping children is especially concerned with class...).
