I was in the mormon church for over 55 years. In that time I served in malls capacities including the Los Angeles temple. I'm a four year seminary graduate, and a graduate of Brigham young university. I have two master's degrees. During that time I was a member of the mormon church, I attempted suicide five times. I was on Saturday of medication most of those years, in high quantity. I was poor, not a homeowner, and had 12 children sticking out of the back hatch of my Chevett. No medical, no battle for the children, and fighting utility companies. Due to stress of the mormon church, I was finally diagnosed with a mental disorder. A long story short, the mormon church ruin my life for 55 years.
For over 55 years the mormon church made me miserable and owned my life. Dude to this board and the people to take time to post, my life has changed.
I have decided, that hating the cult, I'm just giving them the last years of my life. I'm not going to do that. These years are now for me, and my family to enjoy life and have happiness away from that cult. I am going to give an example of what my life is now away from the Mormons.
I just leased a 2011 sonata, with everything on it. It is blacked with black leather interior. It has an onboard computer data is why fine, a DVD, phones every safety feature ever invented. It's completely tinted and constantly gets compliments.
I just purchased the most beautiful condo I have ever seen. We have spiral staircase, loft, vaulted ceilings, and a beautiful view overlooking two flowing ponds. I spend a lot of time sitting on the patio chairs watching the water, birds, trees, and thinking about this post.
I have two wonderful children still at home one in seven years old one is all 11 years old. I adopted them from the Philippines less than 10 months ago, and immigrated them into the United States. Neither could speak English, neither I'd correct had seen a refrigerator, air conditioning, dishwasher, water heater, had never written in a car, and slapped on the ground with snakes spiders iguanas and cockroaches. Neither had medical or dental attention ever,born at home, and had little food to date their entire life.
In only 10 months, both are straight A students, both speak write fluent English. One lays the clasical piano at a concert level. They have learned to ride bikes, skateboards, rollar blade, swim, and use the karaoke machine. They use their library cards. I have a wonderful return missionary wife, allows me to be an atheist,allowd me to remove the children from the mormon church. We now have fun and family togetherness and Sunday is our favorite day to travel and enjoy each other. I have a wonderful wife who is 24 years younger than me, and weighs 106 pounds. Screw the mormon church.
They had my life for over 55 years, I now have the most wonderful, happy, peaceful, life that any man could desire. I think I'm recovering from the cult. I recognize my blessings, and although the mormon church certainly gether done enemy, they don't own the rest of my life. I do. I will continue to post now and then, and if I can help anyone else, I will.
I now am going to focus on the things that I have. I'm not going to spend one more second giving the mormon church any portion of my life. Get he done, is done. Thank you all on this board you certainly are the main cause of my recovery.
