tgapp, you don't need to feel bad for serving a mission regardless of where you are with the church. You were doing what you felt was right at that time in your life. While I'm still active LDS and obviously feel differently about the church, I have plenty of family and friends who have left and that doesn't impact how I feel about them or treat them. Drives me nuts when I see LDS "disown" or distance themselves when someone leaves. You've always impressed me with how you are looking out for others on this board. You may not like BYU as an institution anymore, but it definitely won't hurt you on your resume as it's a well respected school. Definitely still opens doors for me professionally. I can see the conundrum for you, though, with your position on the church.
And buttah's take is idiotic. Bag on Joseph Smith and the intelligence of me and other church members (trust me, I know you all will), but beastiality? I guess he gets points for originality.
