Hi, I'm Connor Ross Aldridge

I enjoy philosophical discussions, to inquire reasonable explanations of phenomena's. I'd seek educational institutions to help the public to better understand anthropology as a scientific theory for acknowledging human origins. I was a mormon.

About me

I was raised mormon all my life, since birth. I felt and thought that this church was the only true church, because that's all that I knew. I would be instructed and to follow the requirement to be a good mormon and I did it. But, it the church after on, regarded my questions as, the devil possessing my mind, in thinking such nonsense. Furthermore, there's a lot of pressure and expectations to, how to act and behave in order to reach as well as be accepted, but as a means of control. Moreover, I see in my experience, that my mental health has been affected by the churches attitudes that, my actions are unaccepted upon the beliefs of the church.

# Why I left More stories of 'Why I left' the Mormon church
