Constantly being pounded over the head about what was wrong with Mormonism is what got me to really look at, to try to prove the ‘antis’ wrong. That is what got me out.
Those who thought they could just ‘love me to the Lord’ and not challenge my Mormonism or those who didn’t bother, I may have liked but I didn’t respect and they never would have reached me. Many other ex-mo’s say the same thing.
First you have to get them to see something is wrong with Mormonism, then you can tell them what is RIGHT about Christ.
That is very instructional. Thanks.
Out of curiosity, how much “brow beating” did it take before you started doing your own investigating?
It is OK to show the faults of Mormonism. However, there were times all I thought about was winning the debate, which didn’t help anyone in the long run. I was better at showing someone why the LDS church was wrong than I was in showing them Jesus Christ in my life.
