I am 56, have gone on a full-time mission, and have been actively LDS all but the last 10 years of my life. I have earned the right to say that if these calm, reasonable, and fair-minded people are the raving, vengeful, deeply troubled ex-Mormon apostates I was warned about, then we are all through the looking glass where white is black and up is down.

This is a great video! After 50 years I left the Mormon Church too! The very last statement of video is where I'm at....What the Hell am I going to do now? Well, two years out and I am still unwinding....... I think the hardest thing for me is all the emotions and family issues that arise....I finally "LET GO" ! No more reading until my eyes hurt. No more research. I know enough!

I have yet to meet a testimony that withstood academic investigation.

@IamExExmormon Which one? I noticed a couple of ex-Bishops in that video. I think this is a great video. I have relatives and friends who are Mormons, and I'm fascinated by the fact that they are able to swallow all that hogwash happily and unquestioningly. Seeing anyone let go of unsubstantiated beliefs and face reality is a wonderful thing.

Its so sad to hear the story of that Bishop.

@ExmormonFoundation Can you give me a hug?

also, the laws of God are first, then the laws of men, so its totally okay for me that polygamy was illegal in the 19th century, I myself would have practice it in the 19th century, but I don't practice it now, primarily because its now against the law of GOD now. This days anyone practicing polygamy is excommunicated. Again we believe in honoring the laws of men, as long as they are not in conflict with the laws of GOD.

Did Smith have sex with other women outside of his marriage? yes. Was this against the law? yes. Did he lie to others including his wife, fellow Mormons & the public at large, going as far as publicly decrying the practice of polygamy and saying he only had one "wife"? yes. Therefore, the historical evidence gives us a clear understanding that Smith was a liar and in contempt of the law. The record is clear on this. Again, you are entitled to your own opinion but not your own facts. Smith lied.

@ExmormonFoundation I don't mind to believe that JS had sex with Helen, but I need evidence first, yes historical evidence would be enough, no need for DNA testing. But is their reliable historical evidence? No!!! Todd Compton says that their is no evidence that she had sex with him. Compton probably is One of the world leading experts on the plural marriage issue. Now before making accusations, Evidence first please!!! Stop being biased an add my video to your favorites

@ExmormonFoundation (read my refutation in the previous message about the Fanny Alger issue) What a stupid name calling, Cult. Even Daniel Dennet refutes this. The reason why we are called a cult, is because we are the minority. Minority are always get Outsiders Biased Judgement. But yea, keep ignoring the statistics, I still don't understand why you only talk crap about Mormonism, and not other religions, like Baptists, Lutherans, Pentecostals, Evangelicals, Just us, why just on us???
