Re: Ex-Mormons, PLEASE Tell All!
Are you freaking crazy???

Mormon women aspire to be pregnant through all of eternity???

Not a chance in hell, my friend.

I have four daughters and I love them to pieces, but I HATED being pregnant! There is no way I would belong to a church that dooms me and my daughters to eternal pregnancy!

I was going to just ignore all of the outrageous lies in the list posted by the OP (considering its an old post), but THAT was just too much.

The rest of the list is just lies and half truths taken out of contex. A few things on the list are sort of true, but not exactly in the way it is written.... I have heard most of these lies told before, but some were new to me, so kudos for coming up with something new.... :)

Re: Ex-Mormons, PLEASE Tell All!
Been a member 58 years and OPs list is like so many other counterfeits...a little truth mixed with lies, exaggeration and foolishness.

When Mormons share their beliefs, they don't insist you simply take their word for it. They invite you to pray and get your own answers as to whether it is true or not. No one is forced to believe.

It's kind of a complicated religion. Any time you try to boil it down to a list like OPs list, you do it a disservice. If you want to know what it is about, ask a non-disgruntled member. Then read the Bible, Book of Mormon, and any church publications etc. Then pray to ask if it is true.

It's very simple. If you don't believe it, walk away.

I have found a lot of good in many religions. But I find truth and order and peace in the LDS religion.

And I find most of your list to be utter nonsense. Whoever told you that stuff has an active imagination and a lot of hard feelings.

If you are using more than just the Bible it is not a Christian religion. Really think about this. Christians need nothing more than the Bible. Any translation of it.

Re: Ex-Mormons, PLEASE Tell All!
I was born and raised in Vegas and went to high school with pretty much an all-Mormon crowd. My stepmom became a Mormom but discontinued after she learned the true nature of the Mormons later on. I would say OP is correct here. The stuff that the OP is saying is obviously what they are not going to tell you. That is later down the road once they know that they got you hook, line and sinker.

Also its true, a lot of the elders that you see in bikes with their white shirts/black pants used to hang out our house since he was cool like that. All we did was play video games eat pizza, drink soda, etc.

I would say the majority of the Mormons don't like to associate with no one else. They also look down at others.

A few of them are pretty cool but yeah, the majority were pretty arrogant fucks.

Due to being completely floored by the idiotic nature of the lies spread in the original post (not saying the op is idiotic, but the lies they told are completely idiotic), I neglected to make it clear in my previous post, that I AM a Mormon and have been all of my life.

I have heard some really ridiculous things about my church before, and usually I just laugh it off, but I find it quite insulting to be told that I aspire to be pregnant for eternity. As if women in the church are simply looked at as baby factories.... as if I would belong to a church that doesn't value ME as an individual.... as if I would allow that for my daughters!

Please! Take some time to get to know what real Mormons ACTUALLY believe, instead of believing ridiculous lies spread via internet.

Re: Ex-Mormons, PLEASE Tell All!
Took the liberty to answer some of your "factual" claims.
Yes - you asked me not too. Call me a thread rebel.

Facts: Mormons Wont Tell You
When They Call at Your Door. Part 1


MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that they believe your Church is wrong, your Christian creeds are abomination to God, and you pastor or Priest is a hireling of Satan.
Answer: We like to focus on the good, many other churches are GOOD, with GOOD people, GOOD Christian's, GOOD values, but we have the BoM, that give us more knowledge. Many pastors are good Christan people.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that there is salvation only in their church - all others are wrong.
Answer: Joseph Smith was amazed to see his passed away little brother in the highest kingdom, although he was NOT mormon or even baptized. So yeah screw that comment.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that those who have been through their temples are wearing secret underwear to protect themselves from "evil". This "evil" includes non - Mormons like you.
Answer: Yes we have special underwear - its common knowledge.. It's symbolic, so you always remember who you are, and what covenants you made, to be more Christlike.. We too think the underwear look funny

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU about their secret temple rites at all. If they did, you would spot them as non Christians immediately.
Answer: Masons won't tell about their rites either, somethings are secret, our temple rites are sacret. Washing of feet's, is that secret? Jesus did that.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that they think "familiar spirits" are good, and that their Book of Mormon has a "familiar spirit". Leviticus 19:31 says familiar spirits defile one, and are to be avoided at all costs.
Answer: We don't, we all have guardian angels though, and they are super good.. And you don't have to me Mormon to have them.. Everyone has em, you are loved you too - REALLY

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that women receive salvation only through their Mormon husbands, and must remain pregnant for all eternity.
Answer: And Husbands receive salvation thought their Mormon wife, one flesh. Pregnant for ALL eternity? Not so.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that they intend to be gods themselves some day, and are helping to earn their exaltation to godhood by talking to you.
Answer: We will eventually be Gods, some faster than others.. We should all help each other develop more Christlike and Godlike abilities.. Correct

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that they intend to have many wives in heaven, carrying on multiple sex relations throughout eternity, until they have enough children to populate their own earth, so they can be "Heavenly Father" over their own planet!
Answer: Some people might get more than one wife eventually, David had many in the Bible, so did Solomon. No one will be forced, and its more rarity than common fate.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that you were once a spirit - child of their heavenly father, and one of his numerous wives before you were born on earth.
Answer: Right, and are all brothers and sisters. Isn't that a nice picture? So what if God happens to have more than one wife?

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that the Virgin Mary really wasn't a virgin at all but had sex relations with their heavenly father to produce the Mormon version of Jesus Christ
Answer: Well I'm sure it's a shock for you, but to make a baby a sperm is required. How it got there, we don't know. But we know GOD was the father.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that they believe Jesus had at least three wives and children while he was on this earth.
Answer: We think he might have been married yeah, i hope so.. Would suck to live until your 33 years old and die a virgin.. Why would he have to do that? If he wanted 3 wife's, God would surely honor that request. Did he have 3 or 1, we simply don't know.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that the "heavenly father" they ask you to pray to with them, is really an exalted man that lives on a planet near the star base Kolob, and is not the Heavenly Father of the Bible at all.
Answer: Yes we think God created us in HIS image, we think he looks very human.. Where he lives? Does it matter? You pray, he answers.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that Jesus was really Lucifer's brother in the spirit world, and it was only due to a "heavenly council" vote that Jesus became our redeemer instead of Satan!!
Answer: Yes, isn't that all crazy???? JESUS BEING HIS BROTHER! OMG!! We are all brothers.. Jesus was our oldest one, Lucifer was up there too. He was cast down and rebelled, he went bananas, and we cried.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that there are over one hundred divisions in Mormonism. They conveniently "forget" this while criticizing the many denominations within the body of Christ
Answer: People have different opinions? What's so amazing about that? We have one church however, one leader, one gospel, one priesthood.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that all their so- called scriptures such as the Book of Mormon, Pearl of Great Price, Doctrine and Covenants, and even their official "Mormon Doctrine" statements contradict each other on MAJOR doctrinal points. The King James Bible is likewise contradicted.
Answer: Examples, thank you.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that the reason the Book of Mormon has no maps is because there is not one scrap of archaeological evidence to support it!
Answer: I agree, but i can't claim to know where all people lived 2000 years ago. Some civilisations leave alot of crap behind, others - not so much.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that the state of Utah, which is predominately Mormon, has a higher than the national average of wife-beating, child abuse, and teenage suicide.
Answer: More than half of Utah's population are not active mormon's. They too are over represented in crime rates.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that their prophet Joseph Smith was heavily involved in the occult when he founded Mormonism.
Answer: Most people back then where. When you have no iphone or TV, looking for treasure and playing indian and coybow's becomes alot more fun.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that that they encourage visitations from dead relatives from the "spirit world", a practice forbidden in the Bible. (Deuteronomy 18:10-12.)
Answer: Look, if your dead mom want or can visit you, it's up to your dead mom to do so? We don't summon or call on them, like wizard and occult people do ( Deut 18:10-12. )

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that there are many accounts of Joseph Smith's first vision besides the one they present to you, and all are different
Answer: Give me any experience and how i tell it, will differ based on when and whom i tell it.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that their secret temple oaths are based on the Scottish Rite Masons.
Answer: But the Scottish Rite Masons WILL tell you where their temple rituals came FROM, get the point? I give you a hint, Oh King Solomon had a Temple, yihai - yihai yo?

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that before 1978 they considered the Negro race inferior, and even one drop of Negro blood prevented a person from entering their priesthood.
Answer: There where church leaders that didn't believe in race mixing 200 years ago, and that the priesthood where excluded from certain races.. That's been the case for thousands of years, God gave his priesthood to certain lineages anciently.. Some leaders are human, and do make mistakes.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that they expect Christ to return to their temple in Missouri, but they haven't built the temple He's supposed to return to, because they don't own the property. (It is owned by the "Temple Lot Mormons" who have plans of their own, and won't let the Salt Lake City group buy it).
Answer: So do the Jews ( Dome of the Rock ) eventually it will work out for both of us.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that they consider the Bible to be untrustworthy and full of errors.
Answer: Yes, there are translation errors and some rare problems in the Bible, if you doubt this - read the new testament and see how different the stories are told.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that Jesus' death on the cross only partially saves the believer.
Answer: Yes, the biggest change happens in YOUR heart. Jesus did however open up that door for mercy, we ALL sinners need.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that that according to Anton Lavey's Satanic Bible, the demon god of the living dead is called "Mormo". Is it just a coincidence that the Mormons are so concerned with the dead?
Answer: I guess that's only a valid statement if you believe in the Satanic Bible, do you?

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that on their Salt Lake City Temple they prominently display an upside-down star which is a Satanic symbol known as the Goat's head. Why?
Answer: Lol, it's a symbol that means alot more than a goat head. Don't be alarmed if people who claim to be Satanic uses holy symbols in a unholy matter.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that they believe the Archangel Michael came down to earth with several of his celestial wives, and became Adam in the garden of Eden.
Answer: I didn't know that. Sounds like someone has speculating more than actual doctrine.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that that they believe the angel Gabriel came down to earth and became Noah in the days of the flood.
Answer: Can't answer this one. I heard Gabriel was Noah too.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that their Prophet Joseph Smith prophesied falsely many times. For example, he foretold the second coming of Christ for 1891. The Bible teaches that one false prophecy puts the prophet under death sentence. (Deuteronomy 18:20-22).
Answer: He did not prophecy about Christ coming 1891, he did however say - IF he lived until he was 85, HE would see Christ. He died way earlier than that and saw him ahead of time.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that their Prophet Joseph Smith did not die as a martyr as they claim, but was killed during a gun battle in which he himself killed two men and wounded a third.
Answer: Yeah, nice to get shot down in a prison, if I had a chance to protect myself I would.. He did, he was outnumbered and died. ( by fellow masons )

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU about the Mountain Meadows Massacre in which they brutally murdered an innocent wagon train of settlers, of over one hundred men, women, and most of the children, traveling through Utah.
Answer: No they won't, it was a major tragedy. The church had the US army against them, it was a very sad time, people where afraid.. During war, people make serious mistakes.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that Joseph Smith taught that there were inhabitants on the moon, and Brigham Young taught there were inhabitants on the sun as well!
Answer: Speculation, they speculated about it.

Thank you for the questions.

Amazing YouTube channel. He has a call in show, videos it, and reposts the highlights on youtube. You'll be absolutely amazed and shocked. Yet, it is one of the funniest videos channels out there. Can't explain it, just have to check out one of his videos yourself.

But, he knows the truth and brings countless mormons out of the darkness.

Re: Ex-Mormons, PLEASE Tell All!
About your point of Mormons being Christians op I do agree with you.

My Mothers family was deep into the cult of Mormon and when she became a Christian they disowned her. My GGGGG Grandfather was an elder and a friend of Smith. I would never choose my form of Christianity for the Christians that they claim to be.

To another point op I have the following

Researching my ancestor Nathanial Wood a few years ago I found this information. Since at the time it was for my own use I didn't save the web pages I found it on.

In part

Oliver Cowdery and Joseph Smith were third cousins (Oliver Cowdery: The Elusive Second Elder of the Restoration, Phillip R. Legg, p. 17), and Cowdery also shared what must be considered a magical, mystical mindset. D. Michael Quinn in his book, Early Mormonism & the Magic World View, states, "Cowdery's use of a divining rod, however, does suggest that before 1829, he may have also had at least some knowledge of and experience with astrology and ceremonial folk magic" (p. 35). Quinn's and other extensive research has turned up some interesting facts. William Cowdery, Oliver's father was closely associated with, if not a member of Vermont's Wood Scrape, and participated in folk magic. Quinn has linked him closely with Nathanael Wood's "Fraternity of Rodsmen." (Quinn 1987,
84-86)

Alan Taylor also discovered this connection in his research on the previously cited "Treasure Seeking In the American Northeast," and states:

In 1799 a seer named Wingate arrived in Middletown as a guest of the Woods and of William Cowdry [sic] in adjoining Wells, Vermont. The Woods began to feature divining rods in their rituals, insisting that the rods' jerks in answer to their questions represented divine messages. (Taylor
1986, 24)

Oliver Cowdery followed his father's lead in folk magic practices with his own occultic use of a divining rod. This has been documented by RLDS Church Historian Richard P. Howard.

For example, the 'divining rod' was used effectively by one Nathanael Wood in Rutland County, Vermont, in 1801. Wood, Winchell, William
Cowdery, Jr., and his son Oliver Cowdery, all had some knowledge of and associations with the various uses, both secular and sacred, of the forked witch hazel rod. Winchell and others used such a rod in seeking buried treasure;...when Joseph Smith met Oliver Cowdery in April 1829, he found a man peculiarly adept in the use of the forked rod... (Howard 1969, 211-214)

This is further supported by research done by Marvin S. Hill of the Mormon Church's Brigham Young University who, along with confirmingCowdery's use of a rod also stated, "Some of the rodsmen or money diggerswho moved in Mormonism were Oliver Cowdery, Martin Harris, Orrin P.Rockwell, Joseph and Newel Knight, and Josiah Stowell." (Hill 1972, 78)

Jerald and Sandra Tanner point out an interesting and important change Joseph Smith made in one of his revelations as he attempted to cover up Cowdery's ability to work with a divining rod. Here is a comparison of
the original revelation as found in the Book of Commandments with the altered version as it now appears in the Doctrine and Covenants.

"We Thank Thee, O God for a Warlock!"
A Christian Critique of D. Michael Quinn's
Early Mormonism And The Magic World View
by William J. Schnoebelen

Additionally, there seemed to be no lack of magical tutors. According to Quinn, there was a wealth of little magical sects in the vicinity—one of which would be Nathaniel Wood's group in Vermont.

THE "WOOD SCRAPE"

According to contemporary evidence, there existed a magic cult near the Joseph Smith, sr. home and the home of Oliver Cowdery's father, William,in Vermont around 1800.(p.31ff) This group was called the "Wood Scrape"after its founder, Nathaniel Wood.

Wood taught his followers (among whom may have been the elder Smith)peculiar doctrines. They believed they were the true descendants of the ancient Jews and lawful inheritors of the whole country; practiced the occult science of alchemy and used cleft rods to find treasure and to
receive revelation. They also felt compelled to build a temple.

Many of these beliefs later became part of LDS theology Especially of interest is the fact that Oliver Cowdery, who grew up 6 miles from the Wood Scrape, was later mentioned in the 1835 D&C 6 as receiving the "gift of Aaron." In the 1833 edition, this was the "rod of Aaron" and the "rod
of nature;" terms used in the Wood Scrape and in magic for divining
rods.(p.33)

Like many LDS "revelations," this 1833 version was censored to remove the occult language. Quinn exults over this revelation. He claims that it validated as "the work of God" an instrument of folk magic that Cowdery had already been using, giving divine sanction to a form of
witchcraft!(p.35) Quinn also cites evidence that Smith himself used the divining rod.
 Quoting: anonimalle


Uh...what's exactly wrong about divining rods? People used them back in the day, and some still do today. They are folk-magic.

People get uptight about this, while their governments are full-blown evil empires?

We do need Jesus.

True, the church I went to for a time tended to call other Christians gentiles in a degrading fashion,
Since they think theyre really hebrews now, they take up old testament mindsets and the chief one is extermination of gentiles as taught and celebrated often in the OT.
If you believe in Jesus, you must, MUST believe he said everything necessary for you to know before he left. If you believe he's God's representative, that means no additional input is necessary from anyone else not specifically indicated by him as a successor.

As a recently new member of the supposedly
Christian LDS church, I have decided not to go back and recently found this posted elsewhere on GLP (below). Describes my experience exactly. The term sick b@stards comes to mind! So other former Mormons I would love to hear from you. Real Mormons, please don't bother joining this thread, you're not welcome here with standard-issue LDS scripts from some manual somewhere that tells you how to mislead real Christians and other people who are naive to fall for your pseudo-Christianity. I want to hear the real stories of real people who have also seen this sick organization in action. Go GLPers!

Here is what I found on another recent post, thank you OP - this is right on!

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that Jesus' death on the cross only partially saves the believer.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that that according to Anton Lavey's Satanic Bible, the demon god of the living dead is called "Mormo". Is it just a coincidence that the Mormons are so concerned with the dead?

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that on their Salt Lake City Temple they prominently display an upside-down star which is a Satanic symbol known as the Goat's head. Why?

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that they believe the Archangel Michael came down to earth with several of his celestial wives, and became Adam in the garden of Eden.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that that they believe the angel Gabriel came down to earth and became Noah in the days of the flood.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that their Prophet Joseph Smith prophesied falsely many times. For example, he foretold the second coming of Christ for 1891. The Bible teaches that one false prophecy puts the prophet under death sentence. (Deuteronomy 18:20-22).

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that their Prophet Joseph Smith did not die as a martyr as they claim, but was killed during a gun battle in which he himself killed two men and wounded a third.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU about the Mountain Meadows Massacre in which they brutally murdered an innocent wagon train of settlers, of over one hundred men, women, and most of the children, traveling through Utah.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that Joseph Smith taught that there were inhabitants on the moon, and Brigham Young taught there were inhabitants on the sun as well!



WHY WON'T MORMONS TELL YOU THESE THINGS?

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, the Mormons, are well aware that if these facts were known to the convert prior to baptism, they would have very few converts! The Missionaries are well trained to keep most of these facts from their potential converts.

Tragically, many Mormons may not even be fully aware of the doctrines and history of their own church. Every statement on this tract is true. Mormons are encouraged to check out their own publications for documentation of the above. After all, if the Mormon Church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) has the truth, it can stand any amount of investigation. [link to mmoutreachinc.com]

So you're beliefs are righteous as a christian that follows the abrahamic doctrine? Many of my family members have gone on LDS missions, i have a family member that was a Mormon bishop. My grandpa was raised mormon, had 5 amazing kids that have grown up to be fantastic people. He was a teacher, his wife of almost 60 years stayed at home and took care of the family. He also gave 10% of his money to the church and is so good with his money, he has more than 95% of the american population in savings. He is also more Christlike than any Christian or any other religious figure i've ever met. i could care less what your religion is or anyone else's. Considering myself an agnostic with gnostic views, religion isn't for me. But it hasn't always been that way. I was raised "Christian" also and my parents are quite Anti-Mormon. When i read posts like this, i feel compelled to offer another perspective in the ongoing battle of "My God is better than your God." Do you really think god is jealous and vengeful? If God as described in the Abrahamic texts aka Holy Bible is truly omnipotent and all knowing, why would he create a race of people that later on, he had to have exterminated, via brutal force? There is more hate, murder, rape and destruction in the "Holy Bible" than "The Book of Mormon" Your attack on mormons is a combination of ignorance, anger and projections in my opinion. Are you right about some of your accusations? Maybe for some mormons, certainly not all of them.
Besides, who are you to judge?

I have not met many mormons, but the ones I did meet never tried to hurt me or the people I know in any way whatsoever. as long as they follow the laws of society, are honest, do not take drugs, do not steal, do not physically hurt others, I have absolutely no problem with them.

whatever their teachings be concerned, they are between them and God. it is my decision alone, who I believe in.

I am happy for everyone who will live an honorable life.

Re: Ex-Mormons, PLEASE Tell All!
As a recently new member of the supposedly
Christian LDS church, I have decided not to go back and recently found this posted elsewhere on GLP (below). Describes my experience exactly. The term sick b@stards comes to mind! So other former Mormons I would love to hear from you. Real Mormons, please don't bother joining this thread, you're not welcome here with standard-issue LDS scripts from some manual somewhere that tells you how to mislead real Christians and other people who are naive to fall for your pseudo-Christianity. I want to hear the real stories of real people who have also seen this sick organization in action. Go GLPers!

Here is what I found on another recent post, thank you OP - this is right on!

Facts: Mormons Wont Tell You
When They Call at Your Door. Part 1

Documentation for many of these statements can be found at www.mrm.org


MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that they believe your Church is wrong, your Christian creeds are abomination to God, and you pastor or Priest is a hireling of Satan.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that there is salvation only in their church - all others are wrong.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that those who have been through their temples are wearing secret underwear to protect themselves from "evil". This "evil" includes non - Mormons like you.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU about their secret temple rites at all. If they did, you would spot them as non Christians immediately.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that they think "familiar spirits" are good, and that their Book of Mormon has a "familiar spirit". Leviticus 19:31 says familiar spirits defile one, and are to be avoided at all costs.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that women receive salvation only through their Mormon husbands, and must remain pregnant for all eternity.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that they intend to be gods themselves some day, and are helping to earn their exaltation to godhood by talking to you.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that they intend to have many wives in heaven, carrying on multiple sex relations throughout eternity, until they have enough children to populate their own earth, so they can be "Heavenly Father" over their own planet!

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that you were once a spirit - child of their heavenly father, and one of his numerous wives before you were born on earth.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that the Virgin Mary really wasn't a virgin at all but had sex relations with their heavenly father to produce the Mormon version of Jesus Christ

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that they believe Jesus had at least three wives and children while he was on this earth.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that the "heavenly father" they ask you to pray to with them, is really an exalted man that lives on a planet near the star base Kolob, and is not the Heavenly Father of the Bible at all.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that Jesus was really Lucifer's brother in the spirit world, and it was only due to a "heavenly council" vote that Jesus became our redeemer instead of Satan!!

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that there are over one hundred divisions in Mormonism. They conveniently "forget" this while criticizing the many denominations within the body of Christ

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that all their so- called scriptures such as the Book of Mormon, Pearl of Great Price, Doctrine and Covenants, and even their official "Mormon Doctrine" statements contradict each other on MAJOR doctrinal points. The King James Bible is likewise contradicted.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that the reason the Book of Mormon has no maps is because there is not one scrap of archaeological evidence to support it!

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that the state of Utah, which is predominately Mormon, has a higher than the national average of wife-beating, child abuse, and teenage suicide.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that their prophet Joseph Smith was heavily involved in the occult when he founded Mormonism.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that that they encourage visitations from dead relatives from the "spirit world", a practice forbidden in the Bible. (Deuteronomy 18:10-12.)

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that there are many accounts of Joseph Smith's first vision besides the one they present to you, and all are different

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that their secret temple oaths are based on the Scottish Rite Masons.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that before 1978 they considered the Negro race inferior, and even one drop of Negro blood prevented a person from entering their priesthood.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that they expect Christ to return to their temple in Missouri, but they haven't built the temple He's supposed to return to, because they don't own the property. (It is owned by the "Temple Lot Mormons" who have plans of their own, and won't let the Salt Lake City group buy it).

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that they consider the Bible to be untrustworthy and full of errors.

MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that Jesus' death on the cross only partially saves the believer.

Yep. If only mormons were going to heaven, then why do they even bother baptizing for the dead since all those people weren't members either? Seems counter-intuitive and a waste of time.

This is probably the records center at the Church Office Building trying to round up info on all the ex members. They are always calling my Grandmother and my Mother for info. Not going to get any more than I allow. Is it true? They will never know.

I can see now where the narcissistic sociopath and all-round madman, "L. Ron Hoover" (L. Ron Hubbard) got the inspiration to invent his even wackier cult of Dianetics/Scientology!

No better way to make a tax-free fortune in the USA than invent a crazy religion from whole cloth and scam thousands of willing suckers!

You want to argue about something you read on the internet?

People who actually THINK would go to an LDS church and check it out themselves.

When they did that, the first thing they would notice is how INTELLIGENT, nice-looking, FRIENDLY, and GENEROUS the people there were. They would investigate their family geneology interests, their welfare systems, their belief in the afterlife and their kindness to each other as a group. They would meet some of the most interesting, deep, dynamic people on earth who set a standard you will find nowhere else.

OP you have fallen for the oldest trick in the book -- believing "something" you read on the internet. However, -- I appreciate you. I appreciate you posting total garbage on a website where there are people who THINK. I challenge those THINKERS to check out the LDS church for themselves. Then decide for themselves if the OP was a nonthinker who published something he found "on the internet" or if what I have written above is more accurate.

Re: Ex-Mormons, PLEASE Tell All!
I come from a 4th generation Mormon family. My 5 brothers and I all went on missions. After further study when I returned I came to the conclusion the Mormon church was built on lies. I did not spot anything in the list that was incorrect. There are many other things I could add to the list like blood atonement. Brigham Young did not believe the atonement of Christ covered all sins. He taught that some sins such as adultery required the sinning couple to appear before their bishop and have their throats cut. The spilling blood was somehow supposed to atone for their sins. These events did happen. Do some research on the Danites. I don't believe in the atonement anymore. Nor do I believe in the Mormon faith.

If you believe any of the OPs list of total bull, then you were never Mormon. You are not a 4th gen Mormon either. Quit spreading lies.
