I’m 43 years old, and I left Mormonism two years prior. My doubts started when I was about 18 or 19 when I heard a youth speaker say in her talk that “we’d all be gods and goddesses one day.” I thought, “What kind of crack are her parents smoking?” I had a big problemContinue reading “Kristin F.”

Karen Leonard
My exodus started with a trip to the temple in 1979. I came home and started reading the Bible to figure out who this God is that would have us saying and promising such stuff. Then I read No Man Knows My History by Fawn Brodie. Next came Mountain Meadows Massacre. Also during this process, IContinue reading “Karen Leonard”
Kenyon Birdwell
I grew up as a traditional Christian. But when I turned 16, I hit a rough patch in my life. It caused my Mormon friends to start talking to me about their beliefs. I felt so alone and without purpose. I had no self-esteem. So when I was told that God had re-established his churchContinue reading “Kenyon Birdwell”
Heather Bundy
I wasn’t as deeply LDS as others, but it definitely shaped who I was and my relationship with God. My mom was LDS but my dad was an unbeliever. He was an alcoholic who would become abusive when drinking. This created a big wound for me being rejected by him, and I never felt worthy ofContinue reading “Heather Bundy”
Barbara Hoggan
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 theContinue reading “Barbara Hoggan”
Abigail Dove
I was born and raised Mormon. I left when I was 16. I never really liked going there, so one day I snuck away and googled, “Is Mormonism true?” I truly thought the whole time that the problem had been me and that I was rotten and forsaken by God. I believed that my searchContinue reading “Abigail Dove”
Alayna Hannon
My husband was born and raised LDS. He served in the Tucson, Arizona Mission, while I was a convert. A very committed convert. We met and dated and got married in the Draper Temple. I was raised Southern Baptist and I missed Jesus, but I also thought I had more of Jesus in the LDS church. WhenContinue reading “Alayna Hannon”
How Many Gods Are There?
I met with a couple missionaries in the summer of 2022. I asked them, “Don’t you guys believe that we can become gods?” The response I received was, “There have been leaders in the past who have taught that, but it’s not official doctrine.” This caught me off guard, but I took his word forContinue reading “How Many Gods Are There?”
The Testing Of A Prophet
There are so many false prophets that have risen up over the years and even more that are presently active in the world today. To make matters more confusing, many of these “prophets” profess the name of Jesus and they also appear to live generous, kind and wholesome lifestyles. Even false prophets can show outwardlyContinue reading “The Testing Of A Prophet”
Has The Bible Been Accurately Preserved Over Time?
1 Nephi 13:28 “Wherefore, thou seest that after the book hath gone forth through the hands of the great and abominable church, that there are many plain and precious things taken away from the book, which is the book of the Lamb of God.” According to the LDS Church, the Bible was trustworthy and accurate before theContinue reading “Has The Bible Been Accurately Preserved Over Time?”
