First a little back story.  I came from a very dysfunctional family.  I moved around a lot and went back and forth from my father (after he divorced my mother) to my aunt.  My aunt was the one who took me to church and I was baptized when I was eleven.  When I was 15, my Seminary teacher fasted and prayed with me so I could feel more confident, and with that experience I dedicated my life to the Lord.  It didn’t matter what others thought of me.  As long as I was doing what the Lord wanted me to do, that was all that mattered.  I didn’t have close friends sin ..read more

My journey began as a young girl being raised by a mother that loved me but didn’t know how to show it. She did not have God in her life and so did not know how to guide me to follow God’s will in my life. She was very controlling and often had rules that didn’t make any sense. Rules like you cannot wear jeans or eat certain foods. Her many marriages would cause me to feel excluded and unloved.  Her ridiculously strict rules would eventually cause me to seek freedom outside of her control at an unprepared and early age ..read more

One day at Sacrament meeting when the focus was on Jesus and His atoning sacrifice for us, I felt the Spirit of the Lord, but when I mentioned this to my Bishop, he rebuked me by saying that, because of my probation and inability to partake in Sacrament, it was not possible for me to feel the Spirit. In disillusionment, I left the LDS Church and everything that had to do with Christianity, but God in His Grace drew me to the REAL Jesus, and I have found the joy and freedom in a personal relationship with Him, without the control of authoritarian religion ..read more

Growing up, I never felt wanted. My parent’s relationship with each other was not good and when my mom died when I was 12 years old, I was left alone most of the time. Although I accepted Christ three months before she died, I was unprepared for the spiritual turmoil I faced when my church fell apart. This is when the Mormon missionaries showed up at my door and told me the story of my parent’s early involvement in Mormonism. I was intrigued by it, so I decided to try it out, even being baptized for the dead and receiving my endowments in the temple. What a creepy experience that was! I moved ..read more

The following is my story of how I was saved out of Mormonism. I was raised as a Mormon and lived it for about 35 years before I met the real Jesus Christ and discovered what true Christianity is all about. It is my hope that someone might benefit from my experience, recognize Mormonism as the false belief system that it is, and come out to find the true Lord and Savior ..read more

I was born as a Navajo Indian and raised in an LDS foster family in Utah. As a Mormon, I was proud of my heritage as a “Lamanite” descendant of  people. But as a young adult, I fell away because I was unable to live up to all of the Church’s standards. “No one can be that perfect!” I thought. Then I started dating Rob, who was an ex-Mormon. He too had been raised LDS, but had come to know the REAL Jesus of the Bible. Through Rob’s patience and the Holy Spirit’s persistence, I accepted this Jesus into my life and found perfect righteousness in Him ..read more

One day, I felt an overwhelming desire to know Christ. So, I picked up my copy of the  and started to read it. The first thing that I noticed was a picture of Jesus Christ with his hands on top of the head of the Apostle John, ordaining him. It was a powerful picture! I wanted what I had seen in the Mormon missionaries who had visited me. For nine years, I was active in Mormonism and even served a mission for the LDS Church. Then, I discovered the truth about Joseph Smith. I realized that I had been deceived, and that the reason I felt empty was because I was looking toward a religion to ..read more

In my 56 years as a Mormon, I raised four beautiful children, was born into the covenant, served a mission in South America, served as a Stake Missionary three times, a Stake Mission President, an Elders Quorum President three times, a High Council member for seven years with responsibility for the Bishop’s Store House and Dry Pack Cannery, a Scout Master, a Financial Clerk, a Membership Clerk, Ward Mission Leader, and an Executive Secretary. With my knowledge of the “Scriptures,” I was in demand by the full-time missionaries because I could usually persuade any prospective convert to accept t ..read more

My wife and I were lifelong members in the LDS Church. We were sealed in the Seattle Temple for all time and eternity as husband and wife. It wasn’t long and we were on our way to raising a family of five children of our own. Our family’s eternal salvation depended on our ability to perform and meet all obligations required and expected by the Church. So we all pressed on, putting on that Sunday face that hides the real feelings we possess from wear and tear, overextending ourselves in callings to serve, and overcommitting additional time that will eventually lead to mindless insanity. Is this ..read more

As a young mother, lonely for friendship and a substitute “family,” I joined the LDS Church. I embraced Mormonism and all that the LDS Church had to offer. My life was full of Church activity, but yet so empty. I wondered. When my only child committed suicide, I did not find hope and healing in the LDS Church, but in a personal relationship with the true Jesus of the Bible ..read more
