"We want nothing secret nor underhanded, and for one I want no association with things that cannot be talked about and will not bear investigation." – John Taylor, the third President of the church

#Secret? #underhanded? What about the church #cheating on filings and being slapped with a SEC 5 million dollar fine because of it?

"We want nothing secret nor underhanded, and for one I want no association with things that cannot be talked about and will not bear investigation." John Taylor, the third President of the church, would not recognize the church today. He invites discussion and investigation on even trivial matters. When there was speculation and disagreement about a certain plot of land which Brigham Young was reimbursed for after having personally purchased for the church which became Ogden City Union Square, John Taylor didn't want to silence the discussion. He thought discussing it was valuable and would help avoid misunderstandings and misconceptions about it. "A right needs no excuse, and an excuse will not make a wrong right. We want facts, and when we get them let us appreciate them, and lay aside our nonsense which so frequently arises from our misconception of things." – John Taylor, as President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles Did you find anything in the church to be secret or underhanded? What about the recent trouble the church was in for cheating on filings and being slapped with a 5 million dollar fine because of it? What about when they publish essays that still mischaracterize church history and whitewash church history?

Born and raised in Germany and live now in Texas. I was a mormon.

We left the church as a whole family.

Why we left: Church history, sexism, homophobia, racism.

On Joseph Smith being convicted as a con artist, Holland says: history is hard, it's not relevant to his character or integrity... Whaaa?

“(As a record of historical fact, was Joseph Smith convicted of being a con-man in 1826?) I have no idea. There’s a good deal of difficulty in the early frontier life in America, but that’s an incidental matter to the character and integrity of the man.” – Jeffrey Holland, Mormon Apostle in an Interview with John Sweeny of the BBC. wasmormon.org

Mormon story spotlight:

"Raised in the church. Served a mission at 19. Married within months of my faithful return. I was a mormon.

I believed it all until I felt it damaging to believe.

Now I live for today.

I believed it all until I felt it damaging to believe."Raised in the church. Served a mission at 19. Married within months of my faithful return. I was a mormon. I believed it all until I felt it damaging to believe. I jumped straight past issues in the church and went full atheist. This caused close to a decade of contention with my then active wife. I started listening to podcasts on mixed faith marriages in an attempt to better understand my wife. This led to my discovery of so much nastiness cluttering up nearly every aspect of the church. It was only a few months of revealing these truths to my wife before she joined me in post Mormon happiness. Now I live for today. Life is too precious to waste time serving an unseen god. I believe in having fun and being nice."

"If after a rigid examination, it be found an imposition, it should be extensively published as such; the evidence and arguments on which the imposture was detected, should be clearly and logically stated, that those who have been sincerely yet unfortunately deceived may perceive the nature of the deception and be reclaimed, and that those who continue to publish the delusion, may be silenced." Orson Pratt"If false, [The Book of Mormon] is one of most cunning, wicked, bold, deep-laid impositions ever palmed upon the world, calculated to deceive and ruin millions who will sincerely receive it as the word of God, and will suppose themselves securely built upon the rock of truth until they are with their families into hopeless despair."

I had four people, who stand out as individuals I respect deeply, come to their own conclusions that the church wasn’t true. They left the church with their families. Knowing these individuals to be of excellent character and moral fiber, I wanted to understand more the reasons beyond their decisions. In a desire to respectfully understand their motivations, I researched them.The first item I can recall putting on my shelf was the church’s stance on LGBT marriage rights. On my mission the only items I remember placing on my shelf were temple new names not being unique or special but given on a schedule, polygamy, and the fact that prophets are not called by revelation but instead by order of entry into the quorum of the 12.Through this I discovered the exmormon subreddit, Mormon Stories, Mormonverse, CES letter, Rough Stone Rolling, and others. I skimmed over the information I found. I faithfully never delved too deep…just enough to understand and respect where they were coming from. This put a lot on my shelf. A lot I could not resolve.I was fully active, paid a full tithe, served a voluntary 2 year mission for the church in Brazil, attended a church university, and lived in statistically the most Mormon town in the world for most of my life. I never drank, smoke, swore, or had premarital sex. I ended some wonderful, wholesome relationships based on advice in The Miracle of Forgiveness. I married in the temple, prayed and studied scripture daily, attended the temple regularly, and lived a fully active, faithful life. I was a mormon. Now I am free to love everyone and be my best self.
