First of all, I am an ex-LDS Catholic. Secondly, if you had read my post completely, you would have noticed that I said “Of course, there are always exceptions to the rule(as in your case) but in general I agree with KK.” Please try not to be so defensive.I’ve no idea what KK has said. I believe many Catholics who leave the Church are simply ignorant (often due to poor cathechesis). But your statements prove my point. Your view is the typical LDS view. Many accusations have been thrown at me for leaving mormonism. None of them are true. I first started doubting when I was about 13 years old. I had already read my fathers entire bookshelf on mormonism because I was deeply interested in knowing my faith.
The first problem I encountered was biblical errors being corrected in Joseph Smiths translation of the Bible, present in the BOM. In the Bible, Jesus says to the damned “I never knew you”. This, I was told in seminary is erroneous. It should say “You have never known me”, since God knows everyone. The JST says “You have never known me”.
Why then does the BOM say “I never knew you”?
You may choose to believe that I left due to some serious sin, like many mormons do. It is difficult to prove one’s innocence, and I certainly do not intend to try. If you think I am a liar, so be it. I do understand the way you think. Why on earth would someone leave mormonism unless the spirit had left him? The real answer is impossible to accept for someone who is convinced that mormonism is true.
