Going to the temple was a major turning point for me too.
.... I wish it had been an even bigger turning point!
I was getting pretty tired of the church even as a teen.
I had quit seminary, but somehow my parents kept me lined up to go on a full time mission. ( WHAT A SCREW JOB THAT TURNED OUT TO BE!!
I know all too well that many go with the understanding that there will be a big pay off in assistance afterward from Mom and dad in going to school, getting married etc, this in return for making mom and dad such proud parents of an RM. NOT for me though, I got to have my bank account cleaned out for which I was supposed to be grateful and then miraculously start my adult life with ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!)
The temple ceremony just flat freaked me out, I was expecting to see god or angels, instead I got Naked touching, death threats, mock throat slashing, chanting, STUPID secret handshakes. I should have promptly took off those stupid garments, moved out, and refused to go on any full time mission to sell this insane unmentionable LDS BS to others.
Its hard to admit that I actually went on a mission after that!
