Well I have been so angry about all these lies I believed, I couldn't take it any longer. I called my good friend who is like a mother to me, and she happens to be Relief Society Pres.
I told her I needed to tell her something. I told her I don't believe our church is the only true church. I don't believe that when we die we need a temple name and handshake. She tells me that she could tell something was wrong with me the past week. She calmly asks me if I have taken my medication? WTF???????? Okay I take anxiety meds once in a GREAT WHILE. Under alot of pressure/stress I can get anxious, who the hell doesnt? And exsp being MORMON??? I told her I DONT need meds, I dont TAKE meds! Iam FINE!! She continues to tell me SHE THINKS I need MEDS! Why, because Iam questioning the church???? Iam PISSED!
I tell her I dont think I will spend eternity popping out spirit babies with my sister wives. She answers that by telling me that since Iam not embracing motherhood, I will be appointed something else to do!!! I have FIVE children, I love them and take good care of them. Doesnt mean I want to spend eternity pregnant! Sorry I will pass!!
I told her I dont believe JS was a prophet. He has lied, he prophecies are false, and he was a con artist. I said he married young girls and sealed himself to other mens wivves. She said there is a reason for that, we just dont know it. She tells me my family is doing good right now, but if I choose to leave the church I will lose ALL blessings! IDK but my time in this church has been hell, it will be a blessing to get out IMO. I said JS claimed there was life on the moon and sun, and there isnt. She said we dont know that?? Cmon????? I also told her that when I prayed about church docterine I get a bad feeling. Maybe thats Heavenly Father letting me know this church is false. She said Satan is tricking me. ALSO- Dont take the Bible serious unless it backs up the BoM. The bible has been translated too many times and contains only half-truths. She told me I need to talk to the bishop. Iam sure she already called him. I deleted my FB and Iam cutting all ties. No more phone calls. I didnt want this to end ugly but for her to treat me like a child and ask me if i took my meds? Tell me that since I cant accept motherhood I will be given a different job in the afterlife????
I knew leaving the church and voicing my concerns but lead to trouble, but I dont know how prepared iam for what is to come. I am very angry and bitter. She also told me that I shouldnt be letting my inactive husband influence me and she warned me he has dark spirits around me. Please words of advice from other people who have been here. I know I am not crazy, I just dont like being treat like Iam. I can think for myself..I wish i wouldve never known about this church. I pray that my kids are still young enough that they will never remember this..And most of all I pray they never will..
