Here are some excerpts from my posting history, that you call me a liar for proclaiming my conversion to Christ is very telling:
To: SZonian; teppe
I am another apostate Mormon and I sympathize with you and the chore that you are faced with in teaching your family about the true nature of God.
I mourn for my family....the family of my birth, who were taught for generations that they too would become gods, that they were blessed to be born into the mormon cult because they were very valiant in the pre-existence when we dwelled with a “god” who was once a man, but by obedience finally became our father-god and sent our brother-god Jesus Christ to die so that universal eternal life would be given to all, good or bad, believers or non-believers. My family and ancestors believed that they were part of the straight and narrow followers of Joseph Smith who could mate with many wives, and have many dozens of children who would expand their empire-kingdom in the life to come.
Now it is my chore, to teach my family, the meaning of words like; God, the Son, Savior, Grace, Eternal Life, Kingdom. Those very words were hijacked and given new meaning by the cult that has enslaved my family since 1838. Yes, I truly hate a cult that hijacks the very gift that Christ died to give us. I love the Mormon people enough to reach out to them in love and show them the deceptions of their “prophets,” and how they are enslaved to a non-christian sect. I pray that they will come to Christ, but in reality, on He knows. He has asked me to spread the Gospel, the Good News of salvation and eternal life, right now, in Him.

Saundra,
I believe you gave your life to Christ many years ago. I hope you always remember that he died to save you, to show His complete love for you, and that you can add nothing to His gift. There is nothing higher than His gift to you.
I pray that you remember the omnipotent God, who is the all, the one and only, who has no equal in all the universe, and know that He created you.
I pray that you always remember and realize that human effort at making themselves good, is puny and self-absorbed, especially when it gives them pride and self-importance and places themselves as savior of themselves.

I was a sixth generation, young, working mother of five, married to an abusive husband withing the LDS framework.
I never could do enough to feel “worthy.” I often had thoughts of despair and reasoned that my life was miserable because I wasn’t doing enough or being enough. I wasn’t the perfect wife, mother, daughter, employee. I only baked bread twice a week, could never find enough time to attend the Temple or properly prepare my primary lessons for Sunday. My five children were never clean enough, nor well-behaved enough. My husband was never satisfied and he took it out on me. I guess he too was having feelings of abject failure to the Mormon god who demands perfection.
When I was finally on the verge of suicide, Christ found me. He reached down into the depths of my despair and rescued me - a fallible sinner.
I pray this billboard can touch the lives of those other poor women who “can’t be perfect” enough. He offers solace that Prozac cannot touch.
PRAISE the LORD!!!
Cherry picking three posts out of hundreds does not a convincing argument make. I’m glad you found a religion which suits you better. Why don’t you do something positive with it rather than dwelling on your negative perceptions of one which doesn’t suit you . . . but still produces millions of good American citizens and conservative voters?
