I am new here so forgive me if this topic has recently come up (topics do tend to recycle themselves on any forum given enough time). What was your Lightbulb moment - the moment you *KNEW* the "one true church" was false?
This would be the key part of your de-conversion story. Not necessarily the first event that caused you to doubt, but the one that tipped the balance.
I was thinking about this the other day, and for me it has to be the Book of Abraham. When I learned that the source still existed in a museum, and that Joseph Smith's "translation" was 100% wrong - not a single shred of truth - and this was the view of every single expert who was qualified to make a judgement - I couldn't go back. My mind knew, I knew, that the church was not true.
