I had my former Bishop come by my house to ask me why I left after I resigned. I explained the main problems I had with mormon racisn, sexism, homophobia, lies, abuse. And he said,"It sounds like you have been reading anti-Mormon literature."
I said,"What do you consider anti Mormon literature?"
He said,"Anything not sympathetic with the official version of Mormon doctrine."
I said,"Like the original version of the first vision?"
He said,"Well they are all essentially the same."
I shook my head "Nope."
He asked,"Theyre not?"
I answered,"No. The first version only mentions,'the Lord', singular, not plural. Huge difference."
He was completely oblivious to this info and told me we'd have to agree to disagree.
So apparently the only version of the First Vision written in Josephs own hand, is anti Mormon, since it contradicts the heavily edited official (4th) version, written, under duress, 18yrs after the fact after every one of the witnesses left the church.
Got it.
Seems like associating your reasons for leaving with "anti-Mormon" literature, is their way of dismissing your reasons and never having to reconcile their cherished beliefs they inherited from Mommy and Daddy.
