Another poster mentioned this point in another thread.. I thought it was deserving of it's own topic.
I moved away from Morgdom when I graduated from BYU about 30 years ago. I live on the east coast. For the first 20 years I was active LDS.. bishopric.. the whole shebang.
Ok. 10 years ago I Leave the church. Now for the first time, all of my non LDS clients and friends could tell me how they really felt about the Mormon Faith. OMG.. was I shocked.
I knew that their perception was NOT all that great.. but at least neutral I thought.. boy was I wrong. Virtually every NON LDS person I knew at some point told me how relieved they were that I finally left the Mormon church. Most thought it was a cult.. and most never really knew why.. "an otherwise intelligent guy like me" would remain a part of it.
It was very eye opening.
I'm curious if others had the same experience.
