For using logic, intelligence, personal experience and free thought for coming to the decision you've come to ;)

From speaking to my TBM in laws to speaking with my wife, whom I love so much, but who is still very believing, I'm actually very proud of the people posting on here. You have freed yourself!

I never had an understanding of what a cult is until I joined one (the irony). Regardless of what evidence is brought up, the final argument is almost always: "I know it's true in my heart.. I know... I know... I know..."

You can't argue nor debate that.

So, all I'm saying is good for YOU for opening YOUR mind that Mormonism isn't the way, but simply A way out of many, many, many ways.

You have chosen to use your mind and go another way. Kudos!

Just felt like dsaying that.

You're welcome :)

It's great isn't it. Luckily our brains come out in tact after all that. They need a little dusting off, and then they are good to go again.

A little dusting off is good... especialy after all the crap you had to go through all those years :)

freeing up time and money have been huge. this is a better way to do life.

Instead of being a blind little primary kid saying: "I know dis chuch is twoo, I love my pawents and my fambily, I know da book of mowman is twoo and josef smiff was a pwofit, indanameofjesuscwistamen!"

yes, i have a better de-conversion story than i ever had a testimony!
