Hi, they call me "Doc Wade"

I am a retired Chiropractor. My hobby is entertaining people with Country Music. I was a mormon.

    About me

    Having been born into the Mormon Church, I naturally followed all of the rituals and jumped through all of the hoops required of me....like a good faithful Mormon boy. I served a two Mission, married a Mormon girl in the temple, raised 6 beautiful sons, and of course took numerous Church jobs. I served in the "Seventies" program of the Church until it was disbanded. (Apparently, the Mormon God had made a mistake in setting it up so he told the "Brethren" in Salt Lake City to abandon it.) I then served as a Seminary teacher, Adult Sunday School Class teacher, and High Priest Group Presidency. Five of my six sons served Church Missions. During these years I graduated from Palmer Chiropractic College and Practiced for 32 year.

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

    I was a "country boy" living on an acreage, raising horses, and paying country music. I had married a "city girl" with no interest in horses, country music, and as it turned out....no interest in me. We divorced after 25 yrs. of marriage. I then met another Mormon lady who had also just gone through a divorce. She was a country girl, grew up on a farm, so surely we would be compatible if we got married....WRONG. We did get married but I soon found out that it was the common thread of "Mormon control" in both marriages that was the problem. I divorced again and became inactive....searching for the "truth" or "falsity" of Mormonism. I began searching the internet and libraries for books, periodicals, diaries, etc. of research done on Mormonism. And WOW.....what an eye-opener that was. I devoured all the information I could find and soon how the "truth can make you free." I handed in my resignation to my Bishop and have been enjoying freedom ever since. I still believe I would like to find a nice "ex-mormon" girl to live with now that I am retired....someone who understands our past pressures and deceptions of the Mormon Cult.
