I just finished listening to your podcast last night and thought it was quite astounding. I was especially interested in how one can go from one frame of mind to a completely opposite life altering one in a relatively short period of time. I have always assumed my mother; the most devout Mormon I know has no chance of ever seeing through the fraud. She is in just too deep and heavily brainwashed. If a Stake President has the ability to reason through untruths than maybe she might have a chance. I loved listening to your process of thinking when you realized the enormous holes in the church that contradict Science. Bit by bit your perfectly intact belief system was deconstructed. I had a near identicle experience to your method of determining the church was false. I finally came to the conclusion that there is more evidence against a God than for one. Just wondering if you would be willing to talk about your current belief system and whether you believe in a God or afterlife? Also if you have been able to salvage your marriage? I can imagine that your wife is as tbm as they come. I will understand if you don't want to answer these questions. I get the impression that John Dehlin knows the church is not true but stays on the fence intentionally where he can still gain access to and influence both active members; fringe Mormons and Exmormons. Maybe thats smart. It seems that he might be helping more Mormons find their way out of the church than in. Thank you for your forthcoming interview. The biggest sign the church is a cult is when we see time and again family turn their back on the unbeliever. Hopefully one day your family will be willing to have that talk with you that you have asked for repeatedly.
