Excellent Ex-Mormon Video
This personal account of the loss of a testimony is worth checking out.

Oh my heck, that is very very painful. When you really sit down and excersize faith, true faith, with full expectations of a result, and find darkness.
Devastating.

Perhaps he didn't realize that the Patriarch who gave him the blessing was simply speaking as a man and not as a Patriarch.
Clearly he had not (yet) realized what a crock Mormonism really is.

You're right. This video is EXCELLENT!!! The honesty of the presenter shines through.
Everyone needs to see this!
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

I agree. This is a wonderful account by a sincere ex-Mormon who obviously tried his very best to pursue the truth. Regardless of what one thinks of the results, his sincerity is, I think, unimpeachable.

So, what's the difference between this obviously sincere individual who "discovered" that Mormonism isn't true, and the sincere individuals who "discovered" that it is?

It depends. Mother Theresa experienced such darkness after she founded the Missionaries of Charity. And it continued until her death. And all went well with her. A book was recently published with her letters about this experience with a commentary from one of the MC priests. The book was called Come by My Light.
It is certainly a testimony tester when one has this experience and Mother Theresa passed with flying colors.
I intend to lay a foundation that will revolutionize the whole world.

One set basis their findings upon facts, evidence and what can be reasoned from them, the other on subjective interpretations of unpredictable "feelings" that lend themselves to numerous other interpretations, such as merely having had a taco for lunch.
