Why I had to divorce the Mormon Church

Post by _Daheshist »

1. For years I did research to try to answer anti-Mormon claims. Constantly, I was told that I was "doing this for money" and that I had alterior motives. When, in fact, I had sacrifice college, marriage (because women don't like poor men), my own body (assaulted, beaten), and thousands of dollars of my own money. I was "judged" constantly of having some hidden agenda to make money off the Church or Church members. That was a lie. Christians don't "lie" nor misjudge others. Mormons did unceasingly.

2. I was told that "if" I was morally worthy, attended Church, paid a full tithe, etc., I would be "blessed" with a "beautiful women to take to the Temple". I did all that, but was never "blessed". Instead, I saw Mormon men I KNEW were immoral, because I lived with them, take young beautiful girls to the temple, ony days or weeks after having sex with "other" young beautiful Mormon girls. When I told bishops this I was accused of being a LIAR and "immoral" myself. But I wasn't lying, and I wasn't being immoral myself. I was telling them pure truth, which they called a lie.

3. I was told that the Brethren can't be "fooled". To try to fool them was like trying to fool God, but Mark Hofmann "fooled" them for five years, selling them bogus documents which Mormon leader hid in their Vault. The Brethren are totally spiritually blind.

4. I was told, over and over and over again, that Mormon women were always honest, always moral, and would not date, much less marry, a man who was morally unworthy. I discovered that the most popular Mormon men with Mormon women are the most "immoral"; just like in the "World". I was lied to by Mormon women many times. I told bishops who said, "You're a liar! Mormon women don't lie, but if they DID lie, they were justified in doing so!" But...I wasn't lying. They were.

5. I was told that Mormon bishops can "discern" who is telling them the truth and who is lying to them. NO....they can't! Most of them are very ignorant men who call "truth" whatever they want to hear, and "lies" whatever they disagree wth. Most are simply ignoramus simpletons. Some have good hearts, some don't.

6. I was told that if I was a "good Latter-day Saints" then I'd be "blessed" with material things, such as a good job, job promotions, etc. I was never blessed. My immoral roommates, always got what they wanted. I never did.

7. I was told that the Book of Mormon was a history of the American Indians. It isn't. All "facts" from biology, DNA, archaeology, linguistics, points to the book being an early 19th century production and having NOTHING to do with ancient America.

8. I "defended" Joseph Smith for many years, but Joseph smith lied all the time, banged his own foster daughters, banged the wives of other men he sent on missions to England...."lied" all the time. One day I realized I could not defend him anymore.

Unlike most Disbelieving Mormons, I had no reason to stay in the Church. No believing wife. No believing children. No vast extended believing families. Did not work for the Church. Was never fully "accepted" in the Church by most. I was poor. So wealthy Mormons did not respect me. I was moral, so most single Mormon men thought I was a fool. All I can say, is that I will probalby spend the rest of my life revealing THE TRUTH ABOUT Mormonism and helping to prevent people from joining the Church, and trying to bring as many people as I possibly can OUT of the Church. That is my new "mission" in life. And I will live it to the day I die.

No old roomie. You're a fool because you keep complaining about us as though you envy our immorality. It doesn't help when you keep saying you want a woman, but not a fat one.

Ahh, how noble.

But we all know you envy those of us who get some hot bedroom action. You're downright obsessed with it. In fact it's such an obsession, some people are starting to think that I'm not real--that I don't really get some hotties multiple times a day in my bedroom. You'd better set them straight about how I'm real.

-------------------

Wanna know a secret for getting hot girls? It's not money or pheromones. No, it's something that in theory even Darrick could do but it's hard work: learn how to have positive conversations that don't involve how life screwed you over. Learn to talk about fun things like funny videos you've seen, some fun hobby you've taken up like drawing or music, or maybe talk about the weather if needed.

Oh, and a word of advice. Don't disparage "fat" women. Besides being in and of itself rude (which is by the way a turn-off for women) they usually have hot friends. You should be nice to all women (in fact all people) because it's the right thing to do, but there are personal beneifits for doing so. Be careful not to be a phoney--that's a big turn-off too. Learn to appreciate women for their personality and if you want one that is also phsically active, then get involved in physical activities yourself. You don't need to spend a bunch on a gym membership. Take up bicycling or running, or rock climbing.

Yeah me too so that's what made it easier to leave.

crap I have this.

Oh I was

I wouldn't of. I would've thought that was great of you. Most of my Mormon friends were trying their best to live the commandments. I didn't really associate with to many of the Mormons that would've been bad influences on me. Sure I was nice to them but didn't hang around them to often. Now that I don't go to church I have heard of way more Mormons that have sex that I didn't know about. However; the crowd I hung out with as a Mormon were honestly trying their best not to sin.
All I can say, is that I will probalby spend the rest of my life revealing THE TRUTH ABOUT Mormonism and helping to prevent people from joining the Church, and trying to bring as many people as I possibly can OUT of the Church.

I would vote for doing something more productive in life. You won't be happy if that is your goal.

I admit I was a fool, but not because I "envied" your immorality, but because I believed what I was told, what Mormon bishops told me, that Mormon women NEVER date much less marry immoral men. I discovered they PREFER immoral men.

I had no desire to "sleep around". I just wanted "one" Mormon women under 300 pounds. Just "one" I didn't have to throw-up at the thought of making love to. I just wanted "one". I couldn't have it. YEt, my immoral roommates not only could "fool around" with girls before marriage, but most of them married young Mormon girls afterwards.

Don't be angry at me because I have revealed your hypocrisy.

The only trouble with divorcing it is that The Church usually gets the wife and kids as part of the settlement.

No! It is Women do not like 'Omega' Men. And since you sacrificed marriage, this is probably going to happen to you at the "great and terrible" day of Judgment:

“Recently I met a young returned missionary who is 35 years old. He had been home from his mission for 14 years and yet he was little concerned about his bachelorhood, and laughed about it.

“I shall feel sorry for this young man when the day comes that he faces the Great Judge at the throne and when the Lord asks this boy: ‘Where is your wife?’ All of his excuses which he gave to his fellows on earth will seem very light and senseless when he answers the Judge. ‘I was very busy,’ or ‘I felt I should get my education first,’ or ‘I did not find the right girl’—such answers will be hollow and of little avail. He knew he was commanded to find a wife and marry her and make her happy. He knew it was his duty to become the father of children and provide a rich, full life for them as they grew up. He knew all this, yet postponed his responsibility” (Ensign, Feb. 1975, p. 2).

It's comforting to know that there is a God who will have his vengeance on that 35 year old bachelor for his hubris.
