A Marvelous Work And A Blunder: An Ex-Mormon Blog: Angry

About Me & My Blog

I am a 20-something wife and mother. I converted to Mormonism when I was 15 and joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints when I was 18. I attended Brigham Young University for four years where I met my partner, a returned missionary. We now live in Canada, where my partner grew up and where he served his mission.

Shortly after the birth of our daughter we left the church. This blog serves as a record of why and what happened as a result. It also includes my thoughts and feelings about the process.

I will be honest. I will be open. I will try to be a voice of reason. Some will choose to be offended. True believing Mormons (TBM) might, if they even dare to read an "anti-Mormon" blog by an "apostate," accuse me of bitterness, hate, attacking the church, and any other number of things.

Too bad. I intend to "declare the truth, even with a loud voice," and "in soberness" even if some "[take] the truth to be hard" and "it [cuts] them to the very center."

Angry

I'm having a bit of an "angry day." My better half checked out what Wikipedia has to say on the "Book of Abraham." Grrraarrgh! Somehow his Pearl of Great Price professor failed to mention that Egyptologists have provided the REAL translation. That's definitely something we never covered in early morning seminary. But hell, what do the experts know?

I'm mad at myself for being duped. I could have done a little research way back when but noooo...Joseph Smith was a "true prophet." I don't need to research. I'm mad at myself for being so foolish and trusting. But I'm also mad at those who fooled me.

It's all just bull&*%$.
