I was excommunicated (LDS) in July, but I can never deny the strong witness from the spirit I received that the Church is true.
Whenever someone says something which seems to refute the gospel, there is always an answer.
i remember going to a magic show when I was younger and I could not figure out how the tricks were done.
I thought it must be real magic! But, after the show, the magician showed me how he did everything.
I learned a valuable lesson--never pass judgement on an argument until you make sure there is nothing up the other persons sleeve--
information which they are keeping from you.
I was excommunicated becuase I live a promiscuous lifestyle. But, I am man enough to admit
that I need to take personal responsibility for that, instead of wishing away things I know deep down to be true.
peace.
