Hello and thanks for the welcome. I, in no way, intend to attack or offend any other religion, especially one that I have spent almost all of my life in. However, I am willing to discuss topics that have been important for me and may be important to others.theifonthecross: I was born in the church, grew up very active, and even went on the required 2 year mission. Surprisingly enough, it was on my mission that I began to see things from a different perspective. Something just didn't seem right. After my mission, I met my wife who was mormon as well and we were married in the Temple. However, there was that little, something isn't right, in my mind the whole time. After beginning my study into the history of the church, I just had and AH HA moment. It wasn't one specific, thing, more of a collection of things that just made things very clear. A lot of them were comments from previous and current leaders of the church. One thing is trying to water itself down to appear Christian. This has happened with changes on the title of the Book of Mormon with the addition of "Another Testiment of Jesus Christ" and the bolding of the Jesus Christ in the logo. Those are just a few. Anyway, if you have specific questions, I would be happy to discuss them with you through PM or on here as I pretty much understand all the doctrine of the church. My wife and I have just begun attending a non-denominal church and absolutely love it. It is taking a little while to get used to as it is not like our previous church, but the people are welcoming and we feel loved...we absolutely love it. Thanks for all of your support thus far.
