- My Story:
- BIC with pioneers on both sides of the family. I was a very devout Mormon. I graduated from seminary, served a mission (Neuquen, Argentina) and graduated from Institute. My doubts started creeping in around my mid-twenties. I read "Rough Stone Rolling" and found that Joseph Smith had at least 30 wives, 11 of them being women married to other men at the time. That threw me for a loop. I started to do more research and learned of the prevalent racism of the church over its history. In addition Prop 8 really bugged me as I have a close friend that is gay and he is a wonderful person who is married to his partner. Why should the church be telling people that a marriage is between a man and a woman when men all the time are sealed to second wives? Anyway, my epiphany moment came one night as I was reading "Stolen Innocence" by Elissa Wall which chronicles her flight from the FLDS cult. I realized that many of the feelings and doubts she had were similar to mine. All of the sudden I had a realization, "The Church Wasn't True". All of a sudden my doubts made sense. They weren't supposed to make sense! It took me a couple more months to decide what to do, but in August of 2010 I sent in my resignation letter to Salt Lake. I'm free! Now I don't have a cloud of guilt over me all the time. I also look at other people as fellow human beings and not as potential converts. I'm exploring my new identity as an Atheist.

- Favorite activity after mormonism?
- I'm getting into gay and lesbian cinema, something that was taboo as a Mo. I am mad I ever voted against gay marriage. Why not? Love is so hard to find - if two people can find it and want to commit, more power to them!
