P-O-W-E-R-F-U-L - the very point of my new response to Elder Jeffrey Holland. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iraMKiHGJNw&t=429s

Your latest video has been presented up in the Celestial Forum and is an excellent example to show how the Church continuously makes its members feel inadequate as they are continuously admonished to fear God and the Church.

Backyard Professor expounds on how the Church guilts the members

Excellent video.
You are very kind Shulem... it is a serious important thing to become cognizant of for so many folks.

I am surprised by no concern about the Book of Mormon, Book of Abraham, changes Doctrine Covenants, polygamy, position of blacks in history. Perhaps if a person makes it to age sixty inside the church they have made some form of peace with those problems.
I think this may be, more often than not, true.

Well, if you can only choose two. . . .
But my suggestions were not listed as possible choices. Neither was exaggerated pursuit of overly conservative political and social views. None of my concerns were proposed as choices, but. I was young....
Yes, me too. I'd like to see a survey for reasons one left, at other ages, or maybe during a specific decade. And there needs to be an "other" option, for write in reasons, as well as the addition of the reasons you listed. It would be interesting to see the results, especially with this group.

The only problem with all this is that the survey doesn't give the real reason the most people leave is so they can sin and masturbate... :D We all secretly know that is the real reason.
