Why I had to divorce the Mormon Church
Posted: Tue Nov 01, 2011 9:45 am
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.
