Something it didn't foresee in its future.

With each member that leaves with their stories to share. And public forums to post them in, did it envision (or its 'prophetic' leaders,) that former and current disenfranchised Mormons would proclaim to the world the darker corners and ugliness unveiled from deep within its bowels?

For all the shunning it has done to family members and church members for not towing the line ... what a payback it has been getting with thanks to venues like RfM, and elsewhere. For all the world to see, if anyone wants to learn more. They can.

People are hungry for truth. They're searching. And when they know enough to climb out from the depths of a cult, they learn that the cult didn't have all the answers. If anything, it kept them from seeking and finding out what they needed for spiritual growth. It keeps people stymied and mired in lies and half-truths. But that isn't satisfying. It leaves people wanting to fill the void that Mormonism can't and never will.

I filled the void.
With FREE-AGENCY!

I hope i made some kind of dent in that monster somehow. I know they don't get any money from me anymore so thats something i guess. I want to be a part of a chain of events that dissolves the operation.

I have taught many friends and people I meet about the Mormon Church. I am sure I have had an impact. Most respond with, wow..I know mormons but I never knew they believed in that etc.

It's a hobby of mine. I find it brings joy.

Amyjo, you’re dead on! The Morg have hurt so many people and the word is getting out. Hugs!!!

Parodies of Joseph's Myth in pop culture, like South Park's All About the Mormons, and the Book of Mormon on Broadway bring me a great deal of satisfaction. Seeing a brutally hilarious mockery of one of the most racist, sexist, misogynist, homophobic doomsday cult's on the planet is good for the soul and apparently the creator's fame and popularity.
What I think is ironic is that we have no problem whatsoever with such a blashemous takedown of a religion like Mormonism, but if you did the same type of thing with The Koran on Broadway, your theater would get firebombed.

Sad indeed. However, there is enough safe space on the internet for keyboard warriors with a grudge against islam to launch attacks from. And I have the impression that people make up for the lost opportunities in the real world by taking the fight online. It's the new underground resistence. In the muslim world even more so than in the West.

They have done nothing to actually help the solidarity of the family and have continually sought ways to publicly denigrate
Individual family members in their so-called “Courts Of Love”.
Along with encouraging family members to turn on one another
and shun and punish one another for non compliance
Of church rules. The church operates in secret which is powerfully reminiscent of abusers whose first words to their
Victims are “Don’t tell”. People can only carry the burden
Of silence for so long and then the dam breaks and the walls come tumbling down.

They used to be able to label those that left the church as lazy, eager to sin and weak minded covenant breakers. Now some are realizing that good people left and continue to live as good people.

This is exactly right!

Even better for not being shackled by a cult that dictates our every thought and action.
