http://www.abc4.com/content/news/top_stories/story/Number-of-faithful-Mormons-rapidly-declining/rvih3gOKxEm5om9IYJYnRA.cspxApparently their only response is to double down on manipulating Mormons back into the fold to rake in the $$$$ so they can buy up more Main Streets, Condo's and Shopping Malls in their continued efforts to turn Downtown SLC into a Mormon theme park, complete with a fairy castle for faithful sheep to take their pictures in front of when they get brainwashed in the International House of Handshakes.
Comments are overwhelmingly slamming Mormonism. Here's mine.
There are good reasons many of us, including me and my entire 5th generation Mormon family, have jettisoned "the faith of our Fathers" in the past 10 years. We could no longer in good conscience defend absurd Mormon doctrines and morally reprehensible history and we couldn't get honest answers from our Mormon leaders. They lied through their teeth to me and my family to protect 'the good name of the church', which they were far more interested in protecting than innocent children. And Yes, I can back up my claims. Every one of them. Unlike Mormons. I'll bet Mitt Romney (or any other defender of "The Faith of My Fathers") $10,000 he can't answer this question honestly, "How do you reconcile Joseph Smith and Brigham Young's (well documented) practice of polyandry (marrying other men's wives) with D&C 132:61-63, which clearly condemns polyandry as adultery?" Smith and Young's practice of Polyandry violated that 'Law of the Priesthood' (D&C 132:61-63) in about 8 different ways, not to mention the fact it violates the 10 commandments in 2 different ways and the sacred vow of marriage between a man and his wife.

He died broken hearted
