Ex Mormon #9

What really were the reasons that Joseph and Hyrum were killed?  We know that Joseph had a gun.

This information is not readily sought after by the average Mormon. I came across this YouTube video that does a good job of explaining the reasons why.  It's Siri's voice, so it can be a little tedious, but worth it for the information.

Ex Mormon #8

It's no secret among ex Mormons who blog about the church's ugly founding that the Church has their people watching them. Many of these same people have been excommunicated or disciplined by the church for their blogs.

There are a couple of blogs that are worth mentioning. The first is MormonThink. The other one is https://runtu.wordpress.com/page/26/ .

Most people come out of the church because they feel something isn't right and it leads them to go searching.

I came out of Mormonism because I had a dream where my child, age 9, came up to me in the dream and expressed to me with an emotional declaration that he would rather die than go back to the LDS church.  That dream got me searching.  But, I left the church before I had read anything just because of the faith I have in dreams.  It just seems so strange to me.  I hope to get over it someday.

If you want to hear how the church uses some of its' billions of dollars, check out minutes 42 to about 52.  Astonishing!  And disgusting!  Thank you to David Twede and Mormon Think for doing this work to expose the evil.

Ex Mormon #6

The Temple.

Oh, the temple.

What a thing a temple is!

How deceptive it is to imagine that the events in a temple could bring anyone salvation and qualify them for a place in God's Kingdom!  Oh, the thought!  Oh, the thought!

Salvation is in One, Jesus Christ.

Mormonism's temple rituals comes from Masonry.  Joseph Smith didn't even change the handshakes from the one's used in Masonry.  To boot, he implemented the handshakes about 2 weeks after he became a full mason.  From my studies, the former temples in history were used for animal sacrifice.

The Mormon Church has used the teaching of ordinances in the temple erroneously.  It is evil.  Pure evil.  Our ordinances will not save us.  Jesus will.

But, oh, the pain of learning all the lies I once believed.  I feel like my heart could break into a thousand pieces that I didn't know and was believing Mormonism was right.

Ex Mormon #5

I'm recognizing a pattern in myself. I find that the days that I am the saddest are the days that I come to post.

Today, I'm providing you with a link that someone else has gone to the effort to put in one place all of the links to the LDS church's essays on the troubling church issues.
