Jesus' death never seemed like a big deal to me when I was a TBM. He would've known it was only temporary... So who cares? I wouldn't mind being dead a few million years if I guaranteed came back...

I wish I could have normal conversations with my family too. Leaving the church has made me realize just how little they have to talk about that is not church related. :(

Just posted this as well: https://www.lds.org/topics/plural-marriage-in-kirtland-and-nauvoo?lang=eng Is me posting this link anti-mormon? Or me pointing out that Joseph Smith married teenages, other men's wives, and had sexual relations with many of his wives? On my mission I remember explaining to people he married women to support them because they were old widows. This is not true, wh

Thanks for the help everyone. Just commented with this: Note that the sources are almost all from the church. Truth isn't anti-mormon, it's just truth. Even the churches' version of the truth is surprisingly different from what I was taught growing up, and then went out and taught during my mission. Being informed about facts (these are church sources) should be important to us who share

Read by 50 so far. Only response has been: "I don't know what the point of posting this article is, but one of these articles tries to disprove the Flood, the Tower of Babel and Lot's wife turning into salt, in addition to the Book of Mormon. Is this supposed to be anti-mormon or something or anti-Faith in general?" Haven't responded yet.

I always felt that if the Mormon Feminists could truly influence the church, that itself ought to be proof to them it is not true since the prophet is caving to them, and a God who knows right from wrong would never have done this in the first place.

I don't think this is the exact quote that I'd heard, but it is along the same lines. Mark E Peterson: “Is there reason then why the type of birth we receive in this life is not a reflection of our worthiness or lack of it in the pre-existent life?… Can we account in any other of way for the birth of some of the children of God in darkest Africa, or in flood-ridden China, or among the s

Can't say that I blame you, I wish I could somehow erase my BYU degree and receive a degree from almost any other university (without putting in another 4 years of work towards a degree).
