The movie media, (which seems to have an addictive influence in all of our lives), actually become one the sources that finally gave me permission to HONESTLY take a look at what my beliefs were about Christianity, Mormonism, JS and the BOM, and what damages those beliefs were doing to myself, and eventually to all those I loved.
Early in my departure, a movie that seemed to strike a deep spot in my unconscious recognition to the deception of religion was "The Matrix". No matter how hard I tried to look at this and align it with my youthful perspectives of the "only true church on the face of the earth", it just wouldn't let me! Of course I was still just beginning my new journey towards freedom and had NO IDEA where it would take me to questioning EVERYTHING.
After that, there was a flood of other shows, both mainstream media, and other not so commonly known or acknowledged sources of entertainment, that came into my life and prodded me along the way to finally give me what I was earnestly searching for....FREEDOM!
Main stream movies available at your local video store or ordering via mail include:
The Man From Earth
The Golden Compass (LOVED THIS ONE!)
Inception
Cloud Atlas
What the Bleep do we Know and Down the Rabbit Hole (Separate movies, but an enhancement on the same theme.)
The Secret
Other movies that provided me with the space to challenge my previous beliefs were/are:
Who Wrote the Bible
