Why I No Longer Believe

Wes T No Comments 

I have always appre­ci­at­ed that LDS mem­bers are taught to val­ue intel­li­gence and truth. I want the church to be true. It has gen­er­al­ly been a pos­i­tive force in my life. I would appre­ci­ate dis­cussing this with any­one who reads through this document.

Tribe of Manasseh — North American Nephite Model

Dave Mack 81 Comments 

I have always loved apolo­get­ics. I enjoy dis­cussing doc­trine, scrip­tur­al ver­sus and evi­dence that sup­port or are seen as evi­dence against the Book of Mor­mon or LDS church. For that rea­son I have stud­ied the most com­mon com­plaints and evi­dence for and against the church.

Introduction to Examining Church Claims

Don Cohen No Comments 

The Church was orga­nized in Man­ches­ter, New York, on April 6, 1830. The orig­i­nal name used on that date was actu­al­ly the “Church of Christ.” This was changed in 1834 to “The Church of the Lat­ter Day Saints,” and then changed again in 1838 to “The Church of Jesus Christ…

How I Lost my Faith by Defending it

Ques­tion­ing, Spir­i­tu­al­i­ty, Sto­ry

I fol­lowed the faith­ful path out­lined for every young man: bap­tism, priest­hood, Eagle Scout, mis­sion­ary, BYU grad­u­ate, and eter­nal hus­band, sealed in the Salt Lake Tem­ple. I was on my way to endur­ing to the end, faith­ful­ly prac­tic­ing Lat­ter Day Saint-ism for the rest of my life.

Sto­ry

I grew up in Utah in a Mor­mon house­hold. I was one of those who always asked why and was always told you just need to believe. That nev­er worked for me. When I went away to col­lege, I stopped going to church all togeth­er. I could nev­er believe in a…

Carson Calderwood’s Leave And Leave It Alone

Wes T No Comments 

Church

I’ve been fol­low­ing Car­son Calder­wood’s sto­ry from a dis­tance, and I find it to be such a sad exam­ple of the Church push­ing out peo­ple who are try­ing hard to con­tribute in a pos­i­tive way. I rec­om­mend all go and lis­ten to the Mor­mon Sto­ries episodes with Car­son and Marissa,…
