Why are you so obsessed?


My last two posts got a little "rambly" so I'll keep this one short.
This is another all-too-frustrating conversation that happens all-too-often in my life. Members have a hard time recognizing that their constant flooding of social media, general conference quotes, visits from missionaries, and all around badgering are a bit....obnoxious.
They expect their friends and families to accept their proclamations with open arms ears, but when they are instead met with push back or difficult truths about the church, they accuse their friends of being "anti" or "obsessed with the church."

One common quip among members is "they can leave the church, but they can't leave the church alone." Of course we can't leave the church alone, you won't let us!
