You are right! I’m an old lady now. 30 yrs and a convert! And I’m here too. God bless you honey!!!

I was raised in the Mormon church and raised 2 of my 3 children in the church before leaving. I’m blessed to have a husband who left with me and has supported me through this difficult faith transition. But, my extended family acts like we’ll never find true happiness and my adult children will never find good spouses. That’s very wrong! You’re so brave for going public about leaving the church. I’m so glad you followed your truth and wish you nothing but happiness.

There are many ways to define a cult. I have come to my own single test of whether a group is a cult. The test is how do your friends and family treat you when you leave the group. If they are ugly, shun you, unfriend you, separate from you etc. then its a cult as a true church will not respond in those ways. A true church demonstrates the love of Christ even as you leave.

Oh my goodness your dog is ADOOOOOORABLE! Also, "I chose me" is one of the most profound things I have heard in a long time. You are amazing.

Jante: I was raised in the church too. I was married in the temple. I love the Mormons. But I do not love their leaders. After 30 years of debating in my mind, I quit the church. Probably the best decision of my entire 66 years on this planet. I’ve definitely been happier after leaving. You’re doing the right thing. You are brave. Just live your life and ignore the noise… That’s all it is.

Thank you for leaving that church. I pray that GOD will continue to lead your life, in our Lord Jesus name. You are helping so many people to see the truth and be free in Jesus Christ. You are loved!❤ I am praying for you. 🙏🙂

I’m an exvangelical who deconverted almost a year ago. It was a very hard year for me but making the decision to break away from that system was so worth it. I can now think freely for myself and It feels like a huge weight has been lifted off of me. maybe one day I’ll find the answers, but for right now I’m okay with not knowing. Wish you all the best on your journey. 💖

It was nice to run across this again. Sending lots of love. 💕

Hey sibling! Thanks for sharing your story. Watching this was like sitting on FaceTime with a friend, just talking about life. I’m not ex-mo, but exvangelical. I nanny four mormon kiddos. I’m always looking to hear more people’s stories. The more I listen, the better I can love others. I appreciate you sharing your story. Keep being genuine. We will keep watching! 💜

I want to share this experience with you because I was raised in the mormon church and am glad I left. One year at girls camp, we had an activity about the tree of life and the iron rod. They blind folded us and had us hold on to the iron rod. People would try to tempt us to let go but we weren't supposed to. At one point the people said I had to let go and they sounded so serious so I did. After I was pulled aside, my bishop comes up to me and says just because you fell off the path doesn't mean you can't get back on. So I grabbed the "iron rod" and kept going. When I got to the end, they took off our blind folds and in front of me was a tree full of lights shining brightly in the dark. It represented the tree of life. Fast forward to when I turned 18. I left the church because I was forced to go and didn't really believe it and still don't. After I left, I became agnostic. I knew something was out there but I didn't know what. So the next few years I lived freely and smoked, drank, partied, and had sex. I went through my worst years alive. I was stolen from and got evicted bc of it. I was homeless twice and I went through a house fire. When I went through this every situation went back to Jesus, not mormonism, Jesus. So I got curious and started seeking out what was truly out there. Every path I took and everything I researched literally led back to Jesus. I encourage you to seek out what's really out there and what your purpose is. Be cautious and careful but seek out God. This is only a small experience compared to some of the ones I've had after I found Him. Jesus is my savior and he is the only way but people have to seek Him out for themselves.

I've become anti religion after my whole life going church to church and finding they twist the same book to suit their agenda, become too political, focus on money too much and are all about popularity groups. I don't care what others say about my view of it. Good on you for sharing why you left. Anyone that fights you on it needs to look deep in themselves if they truly believe. If they are so confident in their faith, they would ignore your videos and simply not watch.

I am a Christian from overseas where Christianity is not commonplace, so I sympathize with your struggle but would also encourage you by saying that true faith is out there somewhere.

It's probably better than living in a blue city right now. Sodom and Gomorrah

I'm very proud of you for standing up for what you believe. I have been going through my own faith crisis and have been rejected by family friends and others in the Mormon church. They want to change my mind it's like they dive into my very life and my beliefs like they can change it I was more than 58 years. I decided to dive in some of the most sacred parts of the Mormon church and realized I don't believe it. Boy I don't think I have one friend out there and my family has distance himself from me. I asked them questions because they're older than I am and it been Mormons for 60 plus years and they don't know anything about their Church they can't answer any of my questions and they say just believe so I am on a journey to find out everything I can from the past to right now. It's mind-blowing. You go girl.

You’re so brave! I was looking around at all my family and extended family and though. Holy crud!!!! I would get so much hate if I spoke openly about the issues! Maybe one day, you’re awesome

I had a drug problem as a child, I was drugged to church every Sunday morning, every Sunday night and every Wednesday night. Hahaha, I saw this saying on facebook, but it is the truth. I am glad I was saved as a young person, but I never got much more than that. They would get you to salvation, but growth after that was super slow. As an adult I lost my religion, but when I did, I found Jesus. Like you said, we went by what people told us how to feel, plus the guilt they would put on you if you didn't do what they said to do. After I found Jesus I became the most understanding, loving, non judgemental, caring person you can meet. When you have a religion telling you how, what, when, to feel something, you have lost who you are and have gotten in line with all the people roaming around feeling lost and confused. The difference between my story and yours, I didn't lose family and friends, some of us drifted apart, but not because the church made their members shun us. Shunning people certainly isn't the way to treat someone that is having trouble understanding what is going on. That proves to me that it is more cult like than any church I have attended. I hope you don't lose Jesus through this, call on His name when you need to and just see what He will do for you. A church that turns their backs on someone that doesn't see eye to eye with them is not of God, at least not the God I know and love. Prayers for you to find your way to the love God has for you and He will help you get through these days of sadness and grief of losing the people that you once called family and friends, God bless❣

If your Mormon family and friends and culture and church don’t let you leave that church with your dignity and self and person intact - that’s a cult.

Hi Jante, you are awesome and so strong for doing this. My wife and I are in our 50s and have just recently left Mormonism. It is all of the trauma you described but has been so freeing and peaceful. It does get better. So surprising how many others there are and a great community there. Please reach out to others going through the same thing for support. You are awesome! Please hang in there and keep being you!

Hugs. Thanks for sharing. I keep wanting to come out publicly and "be authentic", but I have kids whom that would affect them negatively. And I honestly am not sure I'd have a support system anymore. I barely have any right now. My therapist continues to remind me, "you don't owe anybody your truth." " You don't have to tell anybody anything." Because the church and its members ask deeply personal questions and they expect us to answer them. That's wrong. That's an invasion of privacy. A crossing of boundaries. But on the flip side, like you said, members hate when people talk negatively about the church. It "reflects poorly" on them. It never occurred to me how much Mormons care about their image, until I was trying to leave the organization.

I think you're hella inspiring and give me motivation to be true to myself in spite of my toxic mormon family.

The crazy thing is they’re all basically the same. Like yeah Mormonism is weird, but so is Islam, and so is evangelical Christianity (which I came from). The trauma is the same, the fear of rejection from god and your family is the same, the wondering whether your right or wrong is the same, etc. it’s crazy how they’re all basically the same to leave! Wish I could say it gets easier but tbh I’m my experience it’s just sucked, but it’s like like I can go back haha. Thanks for posting!

Coming to terms with how I viewed the world was wrong. That was a big realization. I didn't know I was as judging or sexist or had victim shaming thoughts. I didn't realize that was how I thought until I left the church that taught me 🎶 "there's a right way to live and be happy, it is choosing the right every day" 🎶 Everyone is just trying their best with what they have. We're all just guessing as we go along. Literally everyone is winging it. Including yourself. Be kind to yourself and others. Be understanding and helpful. Don't be hurtful.

My wife left church about four years ago and she have been struggles for long time and I left church about two years ago and I have bad experienced whole my life.. I almost suicidal in two years ago.. but I am doing much better and happier ever in my life.. thanks Janet Wilson :)

Thank you for sharing! I think that Truth is not a feeling & even as a Protestant feelings can deter faith & cause doubts. I understand facing doubt in a faith, I’ve done the same. I learned that Jesus (alone) became more real and truer the more I studied His Word. Like some of the comments say, people are broken, but God is not which is a great comfort. I pray that you continue to investigate what Truth really is.

You didn’t learn that. You just reinforced your own circular thinking. Challenge your beliefs again.

I wasn't raised in any faith but I've certainly had experience with family members that treat you poorly and cruelly if you don't believe as they demand you do. I'm sorry you don't have more personal support but you have mine. :)

so sorry that you are being treated badly. I have several friends who have left the church and we are still friends. Our relationship didn't change. I try to embrace all people with love allow them to believe and worship how they see fit. I'm sorry that your friends and family have not been there for you. My daughter no longer attends church and neither do most of my nieces and nephews but our relationships haven't changed and I'm happy they have found peace in Christ in other churches.

-good job connecting with reality! People don’t understand the societal pressure from high demand religious groups. My whole life experience was being surrounded by bible thumpers here in the bible belt but I was a never-believer. Not an easy life.

New subbie here; just watched all four videos and hoping you'll do many more. You were indoctrinated from birth and fed a heavily edited, whitewashed version of this "religion" so you aren't responsible for saying you felt the spirit; your faith was based on a false construct. Thanks for being so vulnerable. You definitely have started building a community around your truth and it's a place where you can trust your gut and be exactly who you are and all the while be loved for it. Sensing love, thanks, and positivity your way.❤

Thank you for sharing your experience with Mormonism. God bless you

Also a true Christian should love everyone no matter what they go through. If you really read the Bible, it says to Love your neighbor sooooo no matter what people go through, no matter how mean they are or what they choose to do. Love is the answer! 😊🤗

If you have not watched Genetically Modified Skeptic's channel, you should. His focus is on deconstruction of faith and has support for apostates in need. The process is long and difficult for everyone. Every apostate I chat with does not enter into this life change without deep and long inner reflection. Remain skeptical, it is the most honest approach. Good luck to you. I wish you well.

I want to share so badly how the Church isn't true but you have to be aware of the double-down effect and the effectit might have. I really don't think my brother's marriage would survive it.

You are right about everything you said. Great job! Congratulations on living your true self and real life.

Well done on creating space for yourself. Hypocrites everywhere, avoid like the plague.

It's hard because of the Forever Family aspect of Mormonism that ties into Mormon salvation of women and the Celestial kingdom. There are many videos on KZread from Christians on Mormonism and the differences . Dr.Michael S.Heiser videos can give you new insights on the Bible that make sense.

I didn't serve a mission. I had a 2 year old by the time I graduated high school. A mission definitely should NOT be something everyone does.

I'm glad that you left the cult of mormonism, but don't walk away from the truth of Jesus Christ. Mormons distort and pervert the truth of Christ, but they do not change the truth of Who Jesus is, nor the message that He gave us. The gospel is good news for a sinful world, and we need Him. God bless

Good for you! Be brave, stand strong. God is love, and loves you dearly. Religion is man-made, you have to search out the truth for yourself.

There are many different sects of the Christian faith- they all can't be right. Let the bible be your guide and the Holy Spirit will lead you in the right direction- Jesus said you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. A relationship with God is more important than a relationship with with a church or specific denomination. God loves you so lean on him. see Proverbs 3:5-6 and Isaiah 41:10 Have no fear God is with you - He will not leave you ever.

The mission was great...my Temple marriage is great...and I get personal revelation on the truthfulness of the restored gospel was known to me by the Holy Ghost.

There are coverups, sister tithing giver, temple recommend holder, worthier, holier than thou. Were you awarer you represent the shame culture “saying there are coverups is pretty vague”? plus you are in the church because it gives you a sense of value while paying homage to authorities and leaders, whereas Jesus taught equality and zero poor amongst the people, the real truth definition of Zion: one heart, one mind AND no poor amongst them. I bet you, your church building and your fancily adorned temples in the most prime real estate lots will trespass the homeless and the poor should they dare need a place to charge their cell phones, or a place to shower and sleep and find refuge. That’s right, like a latter-day zoramite you will shame them and will neber allow them refuge in your fancy temples of your Lord , the god of this world; that’s right. Just as Moroni wrote in chapter 12 in “The Sealed Portion, The Final Testament Of Jesus Christ PDF “ by Pearl Publishing. You are the very reason many leave the church permanently; who likes the rameamptum-loving zoramites? One huge coverup: pedophile Brigham Young masterminded Joseph Smith’s murder.

As you may or may not know, that temple is literally at the center of SLC, and the homeless population is pretty rampant. I didn't know this beforehand, but panhandlers actually have territories they claim and routes they follow. Who knew! Anyway, I worked there for 2 years, and frequently took food out to the handlers, as did other people. I was told several times by the panhandlers to not offer showers or cleaning up, because it took away from the image. One such lady had been on the corner of North Temple and Main for 25 years, and her gig as a panhandle brought her $8,500 monthly. When I knew her, she had a brand new iPhone that I couldn't even afford! The LDS church has numerous homeless food pantries, housing partners and job placement social workers all around the world, especially seen in Utah, where they try to build Zion. Now you can say I'm defending them or whatever, call me "holier than thou" and a all that, but you don't even know me. I'll give you some insight there to maybe sway you from that argument: 3 years ago I was excommunicated from the church, and I'm only recently rebaptized. I pay 10% for tithing after all my bills come out, which many will tell you is a big no-no. Since being rebaptized, I've gotten 2 very large tattoos on both my forearms - the left side had my children's initials, and the right has my wife's name in a crescent moon. Yes, my bishop has seen them and asked about them. I told him what they were and told him I didn't feel the least bit bad for them. I received no backlash or punishment or anything of the sort. I also drink coffee on occasion (another no-no) because I'm a truck driver who drives at night through boring ol' Wyoming - literally the dullest state in the union. The coffee is occasional but sometimes very necessary; and yes, my bishop knows about that as well. As I said, I'm recently rebaptized, and I'm currently a primary teacher and ward missionary, and I moderate the stake social media. I hope my response helps you. 🙂

​@@DannyAGray Good greetings Danny, finally got around to sharing my reply. It will be in the form of replies to each of your above sentences. Danny: 13 years ago I worked as a housekeeper in the Salt Lake temple. Reply: It is commendable that you worked as a housekeeper in the Salt Lake Temple. What this does is begin to give context and an opener to critical thinking, which is light and truth, or, in other words, intelligence. Danny: As you may or may not know, that temple is literally at the center of SLC, Reply: The center of SLC, similar to a Rameomptum, correct? Now I will follow with some questions: Isn't the Salt Lake Temple prime Real Estate in a Prime piece of land? And as the house of the 'Lord' it never, ever once allow the poor, the homeless, the sick and the afflicted to find respite at any day or night since all the years it was functional, correct? The Salt Lake Temple is a big and spacious building, is it not? Now then, as a big and a spacious building, isn't the Salt Lake Temple adorned with fine linen and golds and silver and precious things such as chandeliers and fancy furnishings? Danny: and the homeless population is pretty rampant. Reply: Enoch and its Zion were of one heart, correct? They were also of one mind, correct? They had zero poor among them, correct? They had all things in common, correct? There were no rich, neither poor among them, correct? So what god is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is worshipping, then, but the God of This World? Danny: I didn't know this beforehand, but panhandlers actually have territories they claim and routes they follow. Reply: So the example of the greatest among us affect those who are considered the least among us where they have to function in a way to survive, which is not the case for the vast majority of homeless created in the rest of the country and the world, because of the desires greed of those considered the greatest among us. The Church has territories and Real Estate they claim and they have prejudices they follow, do they not? Also, How much is each of the Presidency of the Church, which functions similarly to the Boss in a criminal organization, is worth? Moreover, how much is each of the Presidency of the Twelve and the Twelve apostles, who function similar to the Underboss and his Lieutenants, worth? You have witnessed an apostle be known for his great wealth, almost a billionaire, correct? As a servant of the 'Lord' wouldn't have he been instructed by the 'Spirit' to teach those who have less, how to end poverty by following his inspired path unto riches? Danny: Who knew! Reply: Yes, who knew the above about the church, who knew that the church pulls money from each precinct it is in the world in the form of tithing, gets is sent to SLC, then they use the same money to buy prime land and build precious buildings in those parts of the world, thus causing more poverty and more inequality while at the same time turning the poor away, yes, even the very ones who sent their 'tithes' in good faith? Danny: Anyway, I worked there for 2 years, and frequently took food out to the handlers, as did other people. Reply: Your heart is founded in the real Zion as a giver. Yet how many of the rest of the members did the same, including dental repairs, and emotional and legal healing, and embracing them as one of their own and bear their infirmities, as the Lord demonstrated and taught in both hemispheres? Danny: I was told several times by the panhandlers to not offer showers or cleaning up, because it took away from the image. Reply: Isn't that what The Church seeks, the praise and awe of the world? The leadership enjoying great attention with dignitaries and showered with titles and accolades and dressed with fine linen and living in homes that Christ would never live in, correct? Image, so who teaches image but the God Of This World? Critical, piercing Real Truth, isn't it? Danny: One such lady had been on the corner of North Temple and Main for 25 years, and her gig as a panhandle brought her $8,500 monthly. Reply: That lady, as you mentioned sounds like a stretch, but we shall go with that. That lady, had members embraced her, would not have they helped her, rather than judging her, by the way, the word 'panhandle' causes inequality, yet how many times you had to yourself endure the legal panhandling of businesses, yes, countless and countless ads, in the radio and other forms of communication, pulling far greater amounts than this obviously neglected lady? But I digress. If given love, affection, an LLC, wouldn't have been using her skills, instead, in becoming a marketeer or business owner, had members now shun her down because of her success labeled as 'panhandling' by those considered greater than her? Danny: When I knew her, she had a brand new iPhone that I couldn't even afford! Reply: Isn't the iPhone something to connect with others? And here's even more Real Truth: How many free iPhones are given away by Cell companies if you buy another? Moreover, if you really had wanted one, wouldn't you have paid one on a two year plan? Danny: The LDS church has numerous homeless food pantries, housing partners and job placement social workers all around the world, especially seen in Utah, where they try to build Zion. Reply: Yet what they do is follow the patterns of the world, for they are far from building any Zion: they are creating co-dependency and furthering inequality. What they should do instead is follow the plan that is perfect, taught by the three Nephites, in the Humanity Party. Yes, if you have a sincere heart and real intent, having faith in the Christ of knowledge between right and wrong, you would do all you can to implement that plan in Utah, where, by the way, the numbers of homeless families and individuals are growing at a far greater rate than services offered, because their design is after the God Of This World and none other god. Danny: Now you can say I'm defending them or whatever, call me "holier than thou" and a all that, but you don't even know me. Reply: You are sharing your experience an you have been prepared for the greater portion, as given in Ether 4, 13 to 19. Only those of true humble and meek hearts recognize there's a greater portion to be received, and your free will, your knowledge of right and wrong, your purpose for which you came into this existence will connect with what I am about to share with you, only if you are ready to receive the greater portion. Danny: I'll give you some insight there to maybe sway you from that argument: Reply: And Real Truth shall set you free: Danny: 3 years ago I was excommunicated from the church, and I'm only recently rebaptized. Reply: How can a church have the power to 'excommunicate' when it lost the true priesthood at the time Brigham Young and his cronies masterminded the murder of Joseph Smith and Hyrum Smith? Moreover, when was the church going to teach in Sunday school that in 1887 the United States of America had shut the church, yes, ceased to exist, because of crimes against humanity and the nation, through the Edmunds Tucker Act of 1887? Then amen to the church's priesthood in 1887, right? Actually when Brigham Young took upon himself, because of his greed, to call himself prophet, which he was not, he could never minister angels and neither see God face to face, nor any one man done that since, the priesthood was removed off the face of the earth since Joseph Smith's murder. Young even declared himself King of the Danites of the Kingdom of Deseret. So then the church ceased to exist until 1923, when the true founder of today's church, Heber J. Grant incorporated The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. So what priesthood does the church have, but none other than that given by the God Of This World? They cannot minister angels like Joseph Smith did. They are unable to speak with God face to face, much less try to solve poverty and inequality, and furthermore, much less do they have any authority to 'excommunicate' anyone, yes, none. When are they planning to teach this in Sunday school? Yet the Real Truth will set you free. Danny: I pay 10% for tithing after all my bills come out, which many will tell you is a big no-no. Reply: Ten percent goes to the church, which then buys real estate, which then is developed to build big and spacious buildings for the glory of the God Of This World, so others are denied entry, unless they follow the commands of a 'church' no matter how faithful they are, so that after some tithing money is received for some time, the powers that be allow an entry permit, so that then a play, a play written by Joseph Smith meant to be shared publicly until Brigham Young hijacked it to sell religion for money, so that a play may be viewed by those raised in self righteousness, Zoramites, who in their hearts rejoice for being above others, because they can do 'saving' ordinances and works that Jesus never ever partook in. Danny: Since being rebaptized, I've gotten 2 very large tattoos on both my forearms - the left side had my children's initials, and the right has my wife's name in a crescent moon. Reply: It is awesome to have emblems that remind us of those we love. Danny: Yes, my bishop has seen them and asked about them. Reply: I would never ask if your bishop has seen them; for he is worshipping the position and what it brings him, besides Bishops ask, record on a laptop, and information is uploaded to headquarters.

@@adiospobreza do you, by chance, have a way of replying that's not.... boring? Seriously, I don't usually use this term, but for real TL;DR. I have a pretty simple answer and you type it apart like a conspiracy theorist. Just calm the hell down.

I am a devout member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I have had family and friends leave the church but I still love them. I will invite them every now and then but I know I cant force them to come back. I am still a missionary at heart. No one should ever shun someone.

All religions are mad-made. There are flaws in all of them. I left Christianity and there are good videos that show why religions are wrong and why their god does't exist. Matt Dillahunty, Seth Andrews, Holy Koolaid are some of my favorites. Aron Ra is ex-mormon so he can probably relate to what you are going through. Some people in the comments here talk about the people being the problem and not god. The god and the people following it are both part of the problem. Hang in there! :)

You are a child of God and God does love you. As you know what it is like to be unloved, I encourage you to love one another. I will try my best to follow this too because I don't want others to feel unloved.

The Christian Faith is not performance based. We do not earn God's Love by doing good deeds for it.

Since one of your hangups is polygamy, might I suggest checking out videos (or his book) of Brian Hales. While he is a member of the church, he's the single most studied authority on the church's history of polygamy, and he definitely doesn't sugar-coat any truth or facts. Some of it is uncomfortable to hear, but it's awesome information that will clear up any misinformation a lot of people put out.

Reach out to Melissa Dougherty on KZread, her website, or Facebook. Don’t give up on faith completely. Faith shouldn’t be blind; rather, it’s trust in someone/something for facts & reasons you know to be true. The Bible *is* true. Listen through Mike Winger’s “Evidence for the Bible” series. Choose God as He has revealed Himself to be in the Bible.

This is quite normal for return missionaries to do this...you just have learn to let go and let God....

Leaving Religion is fine, but leaving Jesus is scary. That way of Mormon life is wrong. Please read the Holy Bible. Schofield Bible. Do you believe in Jesus or did you leave the way of life? Jesus is real! 🙏🙏🙏Monica Howards wife. ❤️

Christ is your Friend and Brother. Heavenly Father loves you. They are the only way through this life. You can't judge the Church by the people. One day it will all make sense.

Yes, you can and should judge the church because it is the people. It is because of mind control and passive aggressive censorship-based folks like you that people find the Real Truth and leave Brigham Young’s church. You should contrast the original twelve vs today’s twelve multi-millionaires, lovers of positions and accolades and titles and seeking after the things of this world, teaching precepts of Brigham Young as if they were teachings of Christ… Joseph Smith himself was commanded to give the people what they wanted, a church of their own, because they had missed the mark. Even the resurrected Jesus Christ groaned within himself after giving the people the fullness of the everlasting gospel : 3 Nephi 12, 13, 14, basically Matthew 25:31-46 as they missed the mark, so he ended up giving them a church [they were the less wicked people] and would rather have a church and do as told by leaders than doing the things Jesus taught. Imagine you now studying chapters 12 and 20 of “The Sealed Portion, The Final Testament Of Jesus Christ PDF “ by Pearl Publishing, imagine more and more returned missionaries, as well as so many others, are now sharing these Real Truths with many, many others.

One HUGE coverup: The founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is Heber J Grant, 1923. How come member’s don’t know this? Because the shame-you culture in the church controls them, cautions them, disfellowships them and excommunicates the should they desire to know the Real Truth. Chapter 12 is a great chapter that more and more returned missionaries. And many others, are now sharing with many ithers in “The Sealed Portion The Final Testament Of Jesus Christ PDF “ by Pearl Publishing

Great job girlie! A lot of our generation is finally putting an end to mormonism 🤍

@@priscillaxdestiny ROFL!!! Wtf are you talking about??? What advancement of the internet are you talking about? The internet started about 1995 when there were 9.3 million members. In 2010, church membership was 14.1 million. As of 2022, membership is at 16.8 million. It's almost DOUBLE in 27 years from the first 165 years! You're out of your damn mind of you think it's gonna stop, especially with the current whiney-baby, entitled, me-first Gen Z. You think your generation is so woke, but you're still sleeping to the truth. Sorry, truth and statistics are not in your favor. If anything, "advancements" in the internet give access to prove that Jeremy Runnels and his pathetic CES letter are full of shit, and your generation falls for it more than any other. It's a laughable as it is sad.
