Validating My Mormon Background
To any who may think, "oh Hypatia just wasn't faithful enough" or that "Hypatia just didn't surround herself with enough church things" I just want to say that you are an asshole who has no idea what you are talking about. It was my full immersion (wink wink) in mormony things that helped me to see it was not for me in the long run. Here are some of my mormon credentials (starting from when I was young):
1. Beehive President
2. Miamaid President
3. Laurel President
4. Youth Camp Leader (3 years)
5. Seminary Graduate (Seminary overlapped with college because I started going to college at 17)
6. Primary Teacher (Before I transferred to the Y)
7. Institute Attendee (for one year)
8. BYU Graduate
9. Married in the Temple to an RM
10. Primary Teacher with my Husband
Sure, I was never Relief Society President or anything, BUT considering I stopped believing in my early 20s, I would have to say that I had quite a few credentials under my belt!

Well sure, you went to church every week and all that, but obviously you should have gone to church harder. You are clearly the problem here. ;-)
I agree--it's so frustrating when Mormons act as though we left because we simply weren't righteous enough or didn't put in enough effort. I suppose it just makes too much cognitive dissonance to see "righteous" people leaving... (From a fellow BYU grad who served a mission and taught a Gospel Doctrine class in her singles ward.)
Carla- Ha! Clearly. :D
Mel- Oh wow! You served a mission and are a girl! Dude, that must really blow some mo's minds. ;)
