That's your Dad mate, he didn't insult your beliefs, you insulted his. He seems more concerned with the fact that you're unemployed.

I haven't agreed with much I've read that Heywood has come out with, but on this score he's right, you need to learn some tact.

"We would love to have had you at the temple with us. Im sorry that you feel that you have to publicly shame your family on Facebook. We still love you and you can always return. His arms are outstretched still. The last thing you mentioned was guilt.... If there is so much guilt, it's because you know you are doing something you should not... And you need to understand the atonement. It covers everything. "

Sounds like a good guilt tripping to me.

Right, so we're telling a young guy who's being "guilt tripped" by his religious parents, to what......not have a relationship with them?

Guilt tripped by a believer, whatever next.
