Actually I am my own church. Such as it is. The gospel left the Mormons when they kicked it (me) out. They did not want the gospel anyways. I tried for more than twenty years to get someone to care. President Ezra Taft Benson was the only one to "note with interest" what I was saying in a letter he kindly sent me after I submitted to him a paper on THE Book of Mormon STANDARD OF CONVERSION. He was suddenly afterward taken "ill" and my life long nemesis GBH took control and had me exed as quickly as he could orchestrate that to happen.
Makes me wonder what and if I had followed up with Benson with my New Mormon Theology that corrected the adolescent misunderstanding of LDS scripture and traditions that were not supported by a right understanding and reading of the same. And what if he was apprized of the fact that I had, on my own, with Christ in God, become an independent apostle with an honorable calling and witness to the same given me of God almost ten years previous? Yes, an apostle, not of the church but yet in the church all the same.
Hinckley was my stake president when I was a kid. A more wicked man has not lived in our day. He knew me then and sought militantly to quash my witness once it commenced for those twenty years.
Watch this space for Zion. I am not interested in anything less.
Can't say I can relate, but I sure as hell ain't gonna judge, after studying the origins of the top ten religions and having been born and raised LDS, it was Mormonism or nothing for me.
I have settled for nothing, there is no religion that can clear a conscience better than none.
All the best with your spiritual quest.
Peace and Love.
