I had 40 years of TBM-appearing membership, but was always wary of polygamy, becoming gods, and blacks being less valiant and denying them temple/priesthood privileges. 30 years of despising Joseph Smith after reading Sacred Loneliness. 28 years of knowing BoM was false after reading Simon Southerton’s letter about his DNA quest. 25 years sickened by the Masonic cult-like rituals in the temple. And 1/2-year tolerating knowing the leaders know all this, knowing they hid it from us, and then, despite releasing the essays, STILL kept the lies up on the local level as if the essays didn’t exist!
Unfortunately, we raised our children LDS because I tolerated it too much for way too long. They, along with 8 grandkids, are still LDS today. That addresses timing of my doubts.
I became free to worship and praise my Lord at a Christian church, and through reading the New Testament and asking lots of questions, I have come to understand why I was always so uncomfortable with Mormon ‘gospel.’ I gave my life to the biblical Christ, and I can’t begin to share how joyous my new life in Him has been.
