Thank you for the praise my good sir. I started in 2012. My exodus was October of 2013.

Thanks so much.. That's especially heart-warming coming from you because you showed me lots of support when I posted here during the mission.

So how is this affecting everything on a numbers level? Do we have any statistics on youth disassociating themselves with the church?

Thanks everyone for your very kind comments. One tidbit I forgot to add.. All of this happened during an October general conference weekend. Because of the nature of my situation and what I did the q15 themselves had to make the ruling about me. I got to sit at home during the conference nice and smug knowing that they has just heard my story and seen my face while they go up there and spout lies

A Night in Paris Just kidding. It was actually in Rome but fuck you this is my story and that title sounded much more eloquent. I grew up in the typical Mormon household. Kind of. On my mother’s side the Mormon tendrils reach all the way back to Hyrum Smith and his hysterical face. So by that relation my family was related to the chosen child molester of God.

I converted a Muslim from Egypt. I knew at the time I didn't believe any of this shit. I also had already laid out plans for how I was leaving the mission 1 week later with a girl I met over there. Yet I still baptized him anyways. I will never forgive myself for that and I'm happy not to forgive myself of it because I learned to never compromise what I believe, or rather don't believe, Because o

Your words here touched me. Thank you so much for posting. I won't pray for you because I'd be talking to myself but I will be better because of your bitter sweet reality.

Thank you kindly everyone! I'll try to post a bio to the appropriate forum soonish. The story with the girl is long and sticky.. (Hardy har) but eventually I realized she's a whore and ditched her. Two months later she went to the olde chapel and got herself baptized. To exeuromissiomary - thanks it means a lot

I have yet to post those details! I will though if people want. I had come to this page early in my mission seeking help. People like raptor Jesus gave me some really great advice.

So I went on my 2 year involuntary servitude to the absolutely wonderfully non-mormon country of Italy! I was directed to the Rome mission which literally covers from Rome south including Malta and all of Sicily and Sardegna. I started in Catanzaro, then went to Sassari, and ended in Rome before i escaped into the night to begin my immoral shennanigans. I think the week or two before my great

I served my mission in Italy. I had stewed and worked myself up for several months before I finally had enough. The book rough stone rolling exposed me to several things I didn't know about the church and inspired me to come to this site and explore more light and knowledge. So one night I packed my bags and was about to leave when I was physically restrained by another missionary in the house. H

I did the same exact thing man. I was serving a mission and posted on this site wanting to leave and needing advice. I ended up escaping one night and running to another city. That sure got me a ticket home fast... But it put my family through hell. Stick to your guns. Your life is in your hands, no one else's. For me the hypocrisy of what I was doing finally pushed me over. If you need some more

Maybe I'm dumb.. Someone clear this up for me. How will this affect children who were baptized and processed into the church prior to this addition? Do they have to move out, disavow their parents, and commit to the corp or face excommunication?

Does anyone else get hymns you sung from your church days randomly stuck in your head and think "wow I really have been brainwashed!"? I always correct this by humming "fly me to the moon"
