There is ONLY one TRUE Church, all the others are PRETENDERS!

Approved by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and all of it's Worthy & Righteous members.

I don't have to tell you to disregard the Mormon arrogance and bigotry. This group already knows it too well.

God bless you for your efforts to help those who have come to a better understanding of God's will.

Transitioning out of Mormonism is so extremely traumatic and difficult because the LDS Church leaders do everything in their power to make it so.

The home teaching/visiting teaching program is little more than a copy of the same tactics used in Nazi Germany to spy on and keep tabs on those who opposed the Nazi regime.

The social aspects of the LDS Church are deliberately intertwined with the financial. Refusing to pay tithing raised the red flags immediately and targeted me for ostracism in the ward. Next were the consequences for my professional work and employment. I was fired from my job because I left the Church. The LDS owners of the company have a well-known tendency to discriminate against those who are not "active" in the LDS Church as well as those who have left it. People need the help and support to deal with these challenges as they transition away from the bondage of Mormonism. Again, God bless.

The church for so long create an environment of no way out for members who want to leave. It think it's wonderful to have groups such as CALM and others to offer support when people want to make the transition. There's life after mormonism. And I am glad to see your trust in God did not fade.

God Bless you!!!!
