Talking with someone who has left the Church
An old friend of my husband is basically an exmormon and when we found out he lived in the area, we invited him over. We were happy not to discuss religion at all, but without fail he would bring up something we found offensive. After complaining that most Mormons won’t talk to him more than once, I could see why. We took him to a picnic once and when he saw our friend from Africa, he said, “What do you think that guy thinks about the priesthood ban?” I had had it with him and said, “I don’t know, let’s ask him.” It was hilarious because it really made him sweat and he thought I was really going to ask him. Instead I introduced our African friend to our exmormon friend.
