Hmm... I've heard people who come out of cults can often benefit from forming a support group. But, this is people who came out of Mormonism.

Hmm...

We are not anti-Mormon; it is not our intent to belittle others. In fact, we want to keep all the good that came into our lives through Mormonism, but we will be open about its misrepresentations and the way in which its dogmatism and authoritarianism have proven detrimental to many individuals, families and communities. We regret the fact that our openness in this regard hurts some people, but feel that important information has been suppressed for so long within the Mormon community that we should let the chips fall where they may.

Once again demonstrating that so many of those who leave the Church are unable to leave it alone.

I left Mormonism myself (joined a baptist church afterwards) for the theological reasons. Once I learned about Mormon teachings on Eternal Progression, I had to stop and think about whether or not I really believed that. I discovered I didn’t, so it no longer made sense for me to be a part of a church that I disagreed with on some of their core theology.

But your purpose is obvious.

I have a friend that was brought up Mormon.

He says that at the age of 27 he accepted Jesus into his life as his savior.

He now Pastors one of the fastest growing “Charismatic” churches in the area.

I do not understand why, if Mormons are Christians like they say they are, he felt the need to accept Jesus at such a late age, having been brought up Mormon.

I think Mormons should do like Evangelical Christians do by using TV and radio for their studies. Let us know what your faith is about. All I know about Mormons is all the "wacky" stuff I hear. Like "Jesus is the spirit brother of Lucifer" and things like that.

If I'm wrong, I'm not the only one.

In Christ, Wiley
