Giving it to God and Diving Deeper.

I know this shouldn't bother me but when 70+ of your so called Mormon Facebook "friends" (And yes, some family also) Unfriend/Block/Hid you because you left MormonISM, it really saddens me. Many of these people I spent the last 9+ years of my life with. I Loved the neighborhood AND the people. We never wanted to move. Shared major life events with most. It's almost like saying "I don't like Green Jello" and being cast out because of it. (Sorry, it's a Utah thing.. Green Jello, that is) What kind of an institution would cause someone to have such close minded thinking? Making it okay, in their own minds, to sever relationships because of a belief? It really saddens me to think our relationships were nothing more then an old holey sock that can be thrown out when they feel it has no more use. It really hit me hard when I had 2 family members pass away within 4 days of each other and I could count on one hand how many of these 70+ people sent their condolences. I even had to Private message one of these people who hid me from their wall to let them know of the passing of my Father In Law. That's what really made me look at who were friends that removed me. I realize there is more involved in them removing me. One being that I am now considered, in their eyes, An "Apostate". That's the problem. A HUGE problem. Our family is labled as Apostates and that instills fear to those still in MormonISM. How is that Christ like?

God is helping fill the holes, as I let him. Letting go of those that have chosen to let go of us. He's taken care of this hurt in his way by giving me more "friends" on FaceBook and Real Life then I ever have had through the Body of Christ and opening my eyes to acceptance and love for all men. Not fear for someones beliefs,  but compassion and understanding for them. MormonISM couldn't do that and it shows by the Multitude of close relationships that have been ended and some that I feel are crumbling.

When I Blog I am in no way attacking "Mormons" Mormons are a People. MormonISM is an Institution. That's why I'm choosing to write it as "MormonISM". I have more love and compassion for the people then I ever have. I am attacking the Doctrine of MormonISM. The false misleading teachings that the Bible warns about. Bringing up Historical facts that the LDS Church has chosen to not disclose or white wash. Thank you Lord for my upbringing in a Polygamy sect that chose to teach much of the true history of it's origins. I've purposefully avoided, thus far, blogging about the many contradictions in it's history and what's been removed and changed, Biblical contradictions, misconceptions and false teachings, till now. I will be focusing on these many subjects and will be using some strong words that may offend many of my Mormon Friends and Family. If it offends you, you may want to think about why. 

As my Sister said, quoting Elder Packer, “They [You] can leave the church, but they[you] can’t leave it alone.” These are the top 3 reasons why we who leave the LDS church can't or won't "leave it alone". 
1) Our family is still in it.
2) We know the church is hurting so many good people.
3) We have so many ex-Mormon friends that have been and are being hurt by it.

Suggesting that those who leave the Mormon religion should leave it alone, is only wishful thinking for the LDS leadership and their unofficial apologists. The huge number of outspoken ex-Mormons is having the most negative affect on their proselytizing and retention efforts. Documented truth is the enemy of the Mormon religion. 

The LDS leadership is unable to explain the phenomenon of there being a LOT more resigned ex-Mormons, un-resigned ex-Mormons, excommunicated Mormons and inactive Mormons in the world, than there are active members. They have lost so many members (And Tithing money from those faithful members, ours included) that they have been making it a priority to try and discredit those bringing forth the truth. Trying to scare their current members from looking at the truth through the talks and speeches and calling those who have left to "come back", regardless of the truths they've found.

We’re told that the LDS temple ceremony is secret because it is sacred. Well, annual statistics on the number of excommunications and resignations from the LDS religion must also be sacred, since not even the LDS faithful are allowed to know those numbers. Such stats are not published, and I have never known anyone to have requested those numbers, and received them. The only numbers published are the faith-promoting ones, because of the likelihood of a faster resignation snowball affect than there already is. 

But, what of those who have left MormonISM and have published and/or spoken out regarding its falseness? What is so unusual about people coming out a religious system that they have come to realize is false, and trying to help others to come out, and try to prevent others from being duped? Nothing, at all. It is an act of love. Leaving the ‘church’ alone, would be to condone the false prophets, apostles and gospel being promoted, and not care about those who are still entrenched. While it is not an exact analogy to what I've just pointed out, it is true that Christ and His Apostles exposed the falseness of Judaism, and Jews were converted to the truth of Christ. It was, and is, the righteous thing to do.

From here on out, I will be bringing out the TRUTH that the LDS Church chooses to keep hidden. The contradictions between the Bible and MormonISM and much more including the many questions I had, starting in Polygamy, dragging them with me into MormonISM that finally fell to the ground with my "shelf " after gaining a relationship with my Savior. 

I pray those who are quietly reading and coming to a knowledge of truth will have the courage and conviction to come to their Savior and allow him to loose the chains that hold so many in MormonISM and Polygamy, bound. Please pray for me that I will be able to write what the Lord would have me write to help open the eyes of the blind and cause them to search out their own questions without an agenda except for the end result being pure truth. Pray for those that would like to share these things with the people they love and give them the courage and direction to wait in Your time so You can touch them when they're ready. Thank you for your abundant blessings, in Jesus name, Amen.
