I need help. Long story short. My DH grew up Mormon. Church every Sunday, family home evening, Eagle Scout etc...at 17 he decided he'd had enough and left the church. We met when we were 22. I was NOT raised LDS. My parents were open minded about religion, but I had heard Mormonism was weird and "bad". Anyway we met, had a baby, got married (in that order) and never went to any church. When our son was 2 he decided our son needed some religious background and he was only comfortable with the Mormon church. I being clueless and open minded agreed to TRY. It seemed ok. They seemed Christian. Not too different. Nothing gave me the willies. I went for 2 years, but was never really active. I drank my coffee and occasional wine and never wore garments or went to the temple. I should note, my DH has never been to the temple either. He has never gotten that far because I refused to allow him to tithe. Our son is now 8 and DH is on the fence. He feels extreme guilt if he doesn't attend church, but I'm trying very hard to get him out of this CULT and to save him from this evil "religion". After 2 years in the church I had never heard of the truth. I found out this year the real truth of the church. Kolob, that god was a man, that we too can become Gods, I found out what they do in the temple and I found out about the Jesus mall where the tithing funds go...I'm angry. The church lied to me to get me to join. I never would have joined had they said that God was a man, that we can become Gods etc...I refuse to allow my son to be baptized and I want my DH OUT! But he spews the propaganda at me and he's still got one foot in. Now my DH is a very smart, realistic guy. But he was brainwashed since childhood and I don't know what to do to get him to see the light.
