Me.
WindySydney began as an online journal detailing my exit from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Since leaving the Mormon Church, I have come to the conclusion that religion does more harm than good. I have also become an atheist, looking for logic and reason instead of accepting things on faith.
I also blog about things going on in my life. I am learning photography, I have a severe addiction to diet coke, I am a proud vegetarian, and I have two of the cutest cats in the world. Life is officially an adventure without the magical fairy-tale ending. I plan on enjoying it.

Wow. Powerful. I cringe when I think back on the many testimony meetings I attended. We'd often, even as TBMs (see, I'm getting the lingo, Andee), sit in the back with "scorecards", where we had placed bets on how many times we'd hear certain phrases like:
•I know the church is true
•I know Joseph Smith is a prophet
•I love my mom and dad (is that a testimony?)
•I know the Book of Mormon is true
•I know Heavenly Father loves us
We also had a category for number of people who would cry, number of people who would whisper their “testimony” to their kids who would then repeat it like a freaking robot and a category for number of kids who would bear their testimony despite having been out drinking the night before or having sex with their boyfriend/girlfriend.
Ahhh, the good ole days…

Hey Andee and "followers" - have you seen this blog?
http://god-has-a-blog.blogspot.com/
It is hysterical. Good stuff.
Also, where in the hell (no pun intended) did Bishop Higgins go? I wonder if the mormons off'd him?

First of all-WOW this girl is amazingly beautiful to me. Second, it really makes me rethink going to LDS just for even social reasons. Wow.

Nah,Bishop Higgins slows down fromt time to time. He will be back. He took several months off previously.

MaybeMaybeNot,
Thank you for the link... great stuff! I added it to my list :D

The Marcheses,
She is very beautiful, and she has more videos like this one.
I don't think she wrote and directed the videos herself... I think there are a few people behind them... but they are still touching and make marvelous points.
I like her.
