Ex-Mormons, ex-Baptists, ex-Catholics, ex-Presbyterians, ex-Pentecostals, ex-Episcopalians, ex-whatevers - people are free to leave a denomination and seek a Church where they are more comfortable. The LDS Church has converts from all persuasions and your church has ex-Mormons. So what’s your point?
My point is that we don't usually reference ex-Evangelicals as "bottom of the barrel" people -- like you referenced ex-Mormon Grant Palmer in your post.
Besides, your post here implies some level of "interchangeable" church membership.
Yet I was looking just yesterday at an LDS Relief Society Manual revised by the Lds church in the year 2000. They were citing Lds "apostle" Bruce McConkie's 1966 Mormon Doctrine book, who claimed that a "valid LDS testimony" MUST have three elements...one of those being a quotation of D&C 1:30 -- that the Mormon Church "is the only true & living church on the face of the whole earth."
SO...per the official Mormon church curricula...no Mormon testimony is valid unless it acknowledges that all other churches are false & dead!
That's hardly something that's "interchangeable" church membership-wise based upon sheer "comfort" level!!!
You've said, District, you are ex-Baptist...Therefore, we'd like to hear per your own keyboard convey...
Per D&C 1:30, we assume you believe that the LDS church is the ONLY true & Living church on the face of the whole earth? Correct?
And, if so, the flip side of that "valid...LDS testimony" is that ALL OTHER churches -- including the various Baptist churches -- are false & dead...Correct?
The LDS religious organization is based on lies from hell.
In what universe are lds free to leave.
I have cousins who “left” 20 years ago who still get billed for tithes.
The ONLY way to leave if formally request to be removed from the rolls, and even then the request is not always granted.
It is NOT possible to just walk away, and have your name removed from the “count”.
