Hello, I'm thanatos3399!

I was a Mormon for 47 years.

About me

I was born in the church and was very active until the age of 16. My parents divorced and my father stopped going which meant I was forced to stop. I didn't become active again until 2023.

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

I was going back to church but didn't "feel" anything really. Just cold. I don't feel God in that church at all. My got angry at me one day when looking at a golden BOM with the "advanced hyroglyphs" and I just commented that it doesn't look like a real language and my mom blew up on me. I had no idea why. Turns out she thought I was making an "Anti-Mormon" comment... The first thing that came up was the book of Abraham!! Oh my goodness, what a crock of s@#$ ! That was enough but I kept learning more and more and within a few days I made them remove me from the churches computer system. I didn't waste time talking to my Bishop who was also my brother in law. There was Zero reason to allow them to try to convince me to lose my soul to a CULT. I am a reformed baptist now and finally for the first time in my life I am truly happy. My sins were forgiven and my name is now in the book of life!!! The hardest part is just knowing my family is still in danger. It's so hard to try to convince my mom. My step-dad has dementia and is almost to the point he won't be able to make a decision to turn from the church. I think the world knows that Mormons are very "Nice", but nice isn't enough to get you to heaven. My mom, step father, brother and sister are still in the church.
