14: Charles Lynn’s Authentic Life

Charles, I’m glad you have found happiness and become your authentic self. Thank you for sharing. Thanks Heather for another great interview.

I too fasted so often that I was sent to a doctor who questioned me about drugs like speed and whether I had an aversion to food. I told him I was fasting for an answer to prayers. He said he was an atheist, but thought if there was a God he would surely be aware of my questions and not be standing back watching me starve myself. At the time I wasn’t open to hear that, but now I see how silly it is to pray and fast to change what I can’t change and shouldn’t have to.

Crazypants! 

great interview!  really enjoyed listening to you Charles!   What a kind gentle voice!  I too liked the crazypants comments!  Mormonexpression and mormonstories have changed my attitudes about homosexuallity around 180 degrees!  The church gave me a terrible attitude and now I totally okay with other being who they are.  I am convinced it is not a choice and the church needs to get on board with that.  Obviously they do not talk to any higher authority or they would know that and a lot more.  30 years from now they will change the policy and then claim that they did not think to ask until then!   Last one out turn off the lights!

This was fantastic. Can I tell you how happy it made me that you didn’t accept the letter for the church court. That’s the best response to that I’ve ever heard! There’s no reason anyone should put up with that crap. It can be harassment, and it’s fantastic that you called them out it! Seriously, if I ever get in that situation, I’m so doing that!
