dazed, thanks for sharing your story. It was hard to get through without the use of any standard punctuation, but I was strong.

I say much the same thing: No one stands between us and the Divine. That's the message of just about every great spiritual visionary throughout time. But then religions come along and say "You're not good enough to approach God directly. So here... we'll do it for you, but here's a checklist of things you must do, and here's a bill for our services."
I never said I was cut off from Jesus. In fact, I am filled with "Christ consciousness" more now than ever before in my life. I am an apostate from what the LDS faithful will enthusiastically call "The only true and living church" in the world.
FWIW, I am home. Thanks for sharing your concern.
