For those of you willing to share that consider yourselves apostates, inactives, or on your way there, what came first, the breaking of covenants or your doubts about the Church?
This follows the belief, that apostates are bad, sinful people and thus adherents are good, sinless persons. It's a nice bedtime story but isn't true. I'm not an apostate.
