I’m
a 42 year old (gulp!) mom, and have five children ages 5-23. I
was born into the LDS church, part of a multi-generational
family and grew up very active in the LDS church. (Stake dances
and girl’s camp were my favorite activity!) I became inactive
for a time as an adult, but came back and then was active for 3
½ years before coming to see that Biblical doctrine and LDS
doctrine just didn’t agree. Before that happened I had a temple
recommend, attended the temple often, attended all of my ward
meetings regularly, was first counselor in Young Women, Ward
Newsletter Editor, and taught Sunday School to four-year-olds
and twelve- year-olds (there’s not much difference :})

When I left it was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. But, as
I came to know God’s Word–the Bible–more and more it became
apparent that even though I loved the LDS church and
everything it stood for, it was just not true. Since leaving
I have been blessed beyond my imagination as I’ve come to
know the biblical Jesus Christ and His amazing grace. ”
