Who Else is Worthy?
Everyone knows God is omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent, never changing, and has existed eternally. …except Mormons. They think God had an origin. He was a child of his “Heavenly Father” and had a mortal life like us, and then became God. (It’s amazing how many Mormon doctrines I explain now and think “Oh my gosh, that’s Continue reading

My Story – Part 4
If you prefer to listen instead, a conversation covering much of the same narrative can be found here (the podcast only divides it into 2 parts): I’d say there were many things on “my shelf” over the years that I didn’t even realize. I knew there were points of confusion, contradictions, and doctrines that had Continue reading

God Wants a Relationship With You!
Just something simple and heartfelt today… I love some of the terms and things Christians say, that I never heard in the LDS church. I was just listening to a sermon saying God wants a relationship with us. And immediately teared up and said aloud “Why would He want a relationship with me?” Wow. No Continue reading

Christian Behavior: Endure to the End
When I told someone close to me (a Mormon) about my conversion to Christianity, she said “but they think they can just be saved by faith and not keep the commandments!” I told my Christian friends this, to show how Mormons see them. They wholeheartedly disagreed. “No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. Continue reading

My Story – Part 3
2020 was actually a good year for my family, but it was a confusing time for the faith of many Mormons who were awake. We were forced to reconcile some unexpected and shocking contradictions between the scriptures and doctrines we deeply held, with the behaviors and policies of our leaders. But I did so, and Continue reading

That None May Boast
An LDS missionary recently wrote home that he had someone who wanted to get baptized! But this person couldn’t be baptized because of “a word of wisdom issue.” This is Mormon-speak for having an addiction they need to give up. My immediate reaction to this, now that I am seeing things differently, was to feel Continue reading

My Story – Part 2
After high school, I went to BYU (which was a decision based on prayer and fasting, weighing it against a secular school, and I felt prompted to attend BYU to study psychology in order to avoid secularism). I met my husband there, and we were soon married, moved to Oregon, and began a family. For Continue reading

Taking Money From the Poor
There are many fantastic “Numo” blogs and videos on this topic (I recommend you read this one). This meme pretty much sums it up. The LDS requirement of 10% of your income is contrary to Christ. He tells us many times to give to the poor, not take from them. Those who have a lot Continue reading

Book of Mormon: Judgment & Hell
As I read the Book of Mormon this year with new eyes, I began to notice so many places where it’s teaching Protestant doctrine, not LDS doctrine. Mind blowing! One of the first things that really stood out to me in contrast was King Benjamin’s sermon. “Every man [will be judged] according to his works, Continue reading

My Story – Part 1
If you prefer to listen instead, a conversation covering much of the same narrative can be found here: I first came to Jesus when I was close to 16 years old. I had been in a dark place for a couple years, dealing with feeling very alone and different, going through a faith crisis, rejecting Continue reading
