    Left Mormonism about a year ago, Me along with my beautiful wife and our two little girls. We were raised in one of the polygamy groups but God in his sovereign kindness reached us with the truth of his word and the true gospel. Our eyes were opened to the lies of Mormonism and its foundation. It was not easy, but I thank God for what he has done. I pray that many souls that watch this video will come to know the truth. Thank you Jesus

    I became Mormon when I was a teenager. I was married in the Logan Temple to a man who was 6 years older than I was. Because my parents weren't Mormon, they couldn't see me married. It hurt them deeply. I was married three years and we were both in the Airforce at the time. We both ended up in Okinawa in 1976 and that is when I left him. He was violent and would break all my things that my mother gave me for gifts. He would shove me and would not give me any money so I could replace my uniforms. His reasoning was, I chose to work, I could buy my own uniforms. This would have been ok but he took all the money, I didn't even get an allowance. I took it upon myself to go to two Bishops to try to get help to save the marriage. Both of them told me it was my fault and that I shouldn't work. They refused to talk with him. They refused to even counsel us. When we divorced, he took everything and left me with a 900.00 dollar bill. He took all the savings and all the stored wedding gifts at his parents house in Utah. My parents gave me an onyx chess set they got in Mexico and he took that too. When my tour was over, I was sent to Beal AFB in California where I met with the church officials who promptly excommunicated me. In August of 1984 in a little Baptist Church just outside of the Alconbury England AB gate, I gave my heart to the true Jesus! My life completely changed and I have been saved since then.

Even though its hard, I went thru a similar experience. I was traumatized. Is forgiveness. When you release that burden that you carry, God's peace will be upon you.

      💔💔💔breaks my heart reading this!
      I was raised a Mormon from 2 years old and believed the lie that all I was good for was marriage and motherhood. I married barely 18yo a month before high school graduation. He, too, was abusive, and I took my baby back home after 1 yr 5 months 12 days of he'll.
      The path of my life was altered from that lie.
      While sitting in the back of the church with my 5 yo daughter, I saw the lie, and being austracized, and got up and walked out.
      Years later I talked with a very kind bishop and it strangely took the sting away.
      My family are still Mormon, and I'm not tolerated, but not accepted.
      My beautiful daughter and grandkids are my treasure. They know the real loving Abba Father and to go to Him, not a church.
      For all this, I am thankful to have learned and grown even in this. He is my friend and I am His.

      We definitely appreciate any prayers people are willing to send our way, but praying that we Latter-Day Saints receive Christ is a bit redundant. Accepting Jesus Christ is the core tenet of our church. Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is the first principle of the gospel. I mean, it's right there in the name. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. But seriously, thanks for the prayers.

      @@Dan_Gleebalz Jesus Christ makes the claim that he IS God and not "A God", as your scripture has been changed. He has the exclusive claim that he is the only God. Also the Word of God is all inclusive, and makes it clear that there is no other authority (such as the Book of Mormon). I took a class on various religions, including yours. I was alarmed to learn that your religion teaches that you will become a God of your own planet when you die on earth. That is just one of the beliefs of the Mormons that does not line up with true Christianity. Oh how I hope you will read the true Word of God, and let God move your heart to leave the Mormon Church and cling to Jesus!

      @PatriciaTodd-h8q I find it funny that most evangelicals, including yourself, use atheist arguments to try and disprove tenets of the LDS faith. That's a discussion for another day, though. Where in Mormon doctrine does it say that Jesus is "a god"? If you had, in fact, studied Mormon doctrine, you would know this is not a tenet of the LDS faith. What I suspect you actually studied is anti-mormon doctrine. The LDS faith teaches the same thing that is written in the Holy Scriptures (Bible included), that Jesus is the son of God. He is the only begotten son in the flesh, and he is our advocate to God the Father. None of us return to the Father except through the atonement of Jesus Christ.

      ​@PatriciaTodd-h8q Do you know what happens when we die. Do you think that we will just be floating on a cloud in heaven playing a harp.
      We are God's children.He made us in his image and one day we will be like him. We will not be greater than him but we will be like him. Even the Bible says that we will rain in heaven with God the Father and Jesus Christ. Children grow up to be like their father. Jesus Christ even told us that we are all gods and children of the Most High.
      So will we be gods? What does it mean to be immortal without end, And be completely United with the father? Jesus christ says that we We'll be one with him and the Father. This is all out of the king james bible. I think a lot of christians are in denial about their destiny.

    My husband and I were newly married five years ago when two Mormon missionary sisters knocked on our door. Despite not knowing much about their faith, we were firm in our belief in Jesus Christ, so we invited them in. I didn't know much about their practices, except that they didn't consume caffeine. Unfortunately, my husband offered them coffee right away, but I quickly suggested hot chocolate or lemonade instead.
    Looking back, we realized how amazing the work of the Holy Spirit was. Whenever they said something Christ-like, the Holy Spirit would bring scripture to our minds to counter their points. We did this lovingly and respectfully, so they continued to come back for many weeks and months. They even brought more senior members with them, until eventually the sisters were asked by to stop coming to our home by their leadership. One of them was in awe at our sharing of the Gospel and often even asked that we pray for her. There was one point that she said she had never considered and that she'd pray about it. I can't remember what the specific point was, but I pray that sister Anderson, will one day reflect on the seeds we planted and that God will open her eyes to the true revelation of Jesus Christ. I pray for her often and believe that we plant the seeds, and God brings the increase.

    Thank you for sharing. I am an X Mormon I grew up in the Mormon church, I did not come to Jesus until in my 40's. I still wear the bruises. At the time I was coming out of Mormonism I heard a podcast with the testimony of Lynn and Mica, Their message was a gift to me and I even reached out to them by email, they were kind and understanding and just this small gesture touched me and helped me on my journey. I pray for the Mormons to come to The real Jesus Christ, to learn about grace, something I have never heard of as a Mormon. Mormonism is a works-based religion and this goes against God's word. I still strive to unlearn much of its doctrine. The Bible is the only word of God.

      @@tucuxi70No one is saying they did. Not authentic historians at least. You need to read the Bible alone, and stop getting your ears tickled by false teachers.
      God speaks harshly against false prophets, occult practices, and other means of sorcery. God describes a false prophet as one who “presumes to speak in My name anything I have not commanded, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods” (Deuteronomy 18:20). In Jeremiah 14:14, God says these evildoers prophesy lies, offering “false visions, divinations, idolatries, and the delusions of their own minds.”
      Ezekiel 13:9
      My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and utter lying divinations. They will not belong to the council of my people or be listed in the records of Israel, nor will they enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Sovereign LORD.
      Jeremiah 14:14
      Then the LORD said to me, “The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not sent them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions, divinations, idolatries and the delusions of their own minds.”
      Matthew 24:24
      For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
      2 Timothy, 4:3-4 3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
      4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.
      Acts 20:28-30
      Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood.
      29 I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock.
      30 Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them.
      2 Peter 3:14-18
      So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him.
      15 Bear in mind that our Lord’s patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him.
      16 He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.
      17 Therefore, dear friends, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of the lawless and fall from your secure position.
      18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.
      To Peter 1: 12-21
      12 So I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth you now have.
      13 I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of this body,
      14 because I know that I will soon put it aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.
      15 And I will make every effort to see that after my departure you will always be able to remember these things.
      16 For we did not follow cleverly devised stories when we told you about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in power, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
      17 He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”
      18 We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the sacred mountain.
      19 We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
      20 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things.
      21 For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

    I was in the LDS church for 7 years and a temple recommend. I followed all the steps, read, and learned. From the beginning I was told to pray and ask if it was the truth. So I did ask... but never got my answer. I thought I would hang in and at some point get my answer. I remember moving to a new Ward and it felt dry and dusty. The times in the temple felt strange.. like off... (not right in my heart) yet beautiful. The people were wonderful. It was always busy with more pressure to do more. Finally, I questioned again in my heart so strong that I wanted to know the truth about Jesus. And I wanted my answer if the LDS church was true because I could never shake off the empty feeling I had. I had an encounter with Jesus that clarified the LDS church was a twisted truth and answered who Jesus was. I changed instantly. Thank God I got my answer and was saved. Of course I left the LDS church.

I was in my mission praying about this and trying to understand why God would curse us to be hated. Thank God for freedom!

    I grew up in the church and never questioned it until I went through the temple before my mission. I can relate to the feeling of being physically ill. And when I went through, it was 2010, so the penalties had been taken out. And yet when I went through that first endowment, my whole being knew it was wrong. Body, mind and soul. I felt sick. I remember sitting in the celestial room with all my extended family and my aunt laughing because I looked like I was going to throw up. She said that’s normal, just keep coming back and you will feel better. Well I put that experience up as the first thing on my shelf, and I went on with things. Finished my mission, got married to my husband in the salt lake temple, accepted all the callings. But the temple never got better. I just learned how to ignore my feelings until one day, I just couldn’t anymore. The temple was my first wake up that something was wrong. I’m grateful to God He was patient with me.

      What if Jesus becomes a savior when we come to our senses, and realize, for instance, that he walked on the land like everyone else, not on the water.
      Does that make sense?
      Maybe someday it will.
      The real Jesus was a treat to occult-centered normative belief systems - then as now.
      The real Jesus was a threat to the prevailing order and it's narratives, then as now.
      In fact, you could even call the real Jesus an anti-Christ.
      The book of Revelation is a standing threat against the REVELATION of occult supremacy in religious texts.
      Perspective on this becomes easier when you ...come to your senses, and realize the devil doesn't exist, the story of Satan is a distraction and Jesus was written into the New Testament as a mascot for human sacrifice. In the Book of Mormon, Joseph Smith took this last principle and amplified it ad-absurdum.

      Revelations 12:11.
      God bless this brave man's testimony. I pray it sets many others free from the lies of the Father of Liars. (John 8:44).
      New life is in The Blood.
      Religion often holds people captive to lies, and separates us from GOD. But, as I look at our Wonderful Saviour, as He was, on The execution stake, I am reminded that it was His love for you and me that He suffered - the penalty of our sins, taken by the only sinless One - I am forever reminded by those nail-pierced hands holding His outstretched arms of love and forgiveness calling us back to our True, Righteous and Holy Father in Heaven.
      To whosoever, come!
      The temple of God is The Body of believers
      In Christ. When we acknowledge our sin to God and thank Him for JESUS paying the price of our sin by the shedding of His blood on the stake at Calvary, Israel. If we sincerely turn away from sin to JESUS, then He, by His Spirit comes in to live with us. So, our body then becomes the 'temple' of The Holy Spirit. Now, we are born-again, out of sin, into God's family. We are NEW creatures - old things have passed away. GOD is Spirit and we have been made in His image. But we inherited sin, from Adam and Eve, and because of sin, we were actually separated from GOD.
      But, praise GOD, while we were still sinners, Yeshua Ha Mashiach,
      JESUS The Messiah,
      died for us - the ungodly.
      It's so wonderful to hear of. captives being set free from the deception of The Adversary.
      Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by The Word of GOD.
      (Romans 10:17).
      I have often found that 'religions' quote (should say 'mis-quote') The Bible, if they can twist it to say what they want.
      But, for me, whenever anyone tells me something about GOD, I ask where in God's Word does it say so?
      Also, it's a very serious thing to GOD to add or take away from His Word.
      (See Revelations 22:18,19;
      Proverbs 30:5,6)
      If you are a Truth seeker, you have every right to have your questions answered, especially if you're seeking GOD.
      This is why I love The Bible, GOD's Word:
      We can know The Truth -
      Everyone who does evil hates things hates the light and avoids it, so that his actions won't be exposed. But everyone who does what is true comes to the light, so that all may see that his actions are accomplished in GOD.
      (John 3:20,21)
      If they are trusting in GOD, He is The Light - there is no darkness in Him.. . As King Solomon said, by The Spirit of The Almighty:
      GOD will bring to judgement everything we do, including every secret, whether good or bad.
      (Ecclesiastes 12:14)

    Awesome testimony. I just recently left the Mormon church after 40 years and similar to what this man explained it was full of kind good people and my love for Jesus was real, but I had no idea of how blind I was to the biblical Jesus who offers biblical Grace, I had no idea what I was missing because even though I read the Bible often I was so indoctrinated that Grace was only activated through my works that it took a lot for me to finally see that I had been given a false understanding of Grace and a much more limited Jesus. I have to say it has been so hard trying to integrate into a community, the Mormon communities I was in were ultra kinda and supportive, and it has been so hard trying to find anything similar in the Christian churches we have attended over the past few years. I think part of that is because the general Christian churches have more focus on their individual relationships with Christ whereas Mormons have a more limited version of that relationship so they focus way more on their human relationships. Anyway, it has been hard and I am still trying to allow God to teach me who He really is and how Grace really works and trying to undue so many decades of conditioning and community.

My original intent was to stay in as a Christian and hopefully help bring others to Jesus from within the Church. Well that was impossible and when I tried to negotiate my terms with the Bishop, asking him, "just don't make me teach" it did not go so well which is why I finally left about 10 years ago practically kicked out.
    I then went on a long journey trying to sift through a lifetime of lies. I went on a long journey. I attended protestant churches for a while, then into shamanism for about 5 years trying to deal with anxiety and depression and then Jesus brought me back into Christianity. In just a few hours I will become an official catechumen in the Orthodox Christian church.

    I will never forget this testimony! It touched me deeply. I have to make a special mention for Eric, who is an EXCELLENT Interviewer. He is a good listener but just when we think the testimony is ending, he will ask his guest a very insightful question and we will learn even more. Also, Eric has a very soft voice and we feel that he listens with great compassion. Now, as for this guest, he is exceptional! He has a heart of gold and I could have listened to him over and over because it was so interesting. This man has great sensitivity and I am so happy that he became a Christian. There is no doubt, Mormons or Jehovah's Witnesses or the Church of Scientology have a lot of similarities. If you want to leave them, you will experience real hell.

    Mormonism made a corporate decision to make their faith more “mainstream” 30 years ago.
    I remember(distinctly) that ALL my Mormon friends from the 50’s and onwards, ALWAYS said that the Book of Mormon, took precedence over The Bible,and as a result, Sola Scriptura, denominations, such as mine, regarded them as a cult.
    When that distinguishing factor was “lost” and/or delayed, Mormonism grew rapidly with their “new Jesus” and “family friendly” gospel.
    I’m so grateful, dear Brother, that The Lord lead you out of the darkness and into HiS glorious light.

      It depends on which book in the book of Mormon as to how God is portrayed. Abinadi portrays God very much the same way that orthodox Christians portray him. Was he correct? Yes, in a sense; for "God" in the Old Testament (and here) *is* YHVH, Jehovah, the very person that will be born as what Americans know as Jesus.
      That God/Jehovah has someone to pray TO is not manifest until the New Testament. This becomes clear enough at the baptism of Jesus and certainly reinforced at the stoning of Stephen where he sees God (the father) AND Jesus Christ. Two separate beings. The holy ghost is also a separate being, but being a spirit, remains invisible.
      Mosiah Chapter 13:
      33 For behold, did not Moses prophesy unto them concerning the coming of the Messiah, and that *God should redeem his people?* Yea, and even all the prophets who have prophesied ever since the world began-have they not spoken more or less concerning these things?
      34 Have they not said that *God himself should come down among the children of men, and take upon him the form of man,* and go forth in mighty power upon the face of the earth?

      That someone is a member of the Church, doesn't make him/her a saint, nor a Saint. Christ says that his Church is made up of Wheat, and Weed.
      Apostle Parley P. pratt said that "from the membership pool of the Church, the Lord shall call His Saints (note the upper case S). The Parable of the Ten Virgins, represents the members of the Church at the time of the Wedding Banquet.
      The Parable of the Sower represents the Church membership, and the types of spiritual roots they have. Thousands will eject themselves out, because they couldn't resist the heat of the challenges, or never care about fulfilling the personal commandments that God gave them. They plainly did not pursue Eternal Life, and conformed in going to seek just for immortality.
      They couldn't understand that when St. Paul is talking about works, he was talking to the Jews who believed that only through the Works of the law of Moses they could be saved.
      If one will ask the Lord to remove the scales that blind one's eyes before we read any Canon of Scriptures, then and only then, one will see through the reading of the Epistles of St. Peter, how concerned he was about the shallow spirituality of the Meridian Church, that was beginning to drift into Apostasy. Listen to him in great concern for the Meridian fold:
      I URGE YOU TO GIVE ALMS UNTO THE POOR, FOR THOUSANDS OF YOUR SINS TO BE COVERED.
      that is the Doctrine of works or good deed/actions taught by the Restored Church. The same as taught to the Meridian Church.
      There are two doctrines of Salvation taught in the Bible. One that gives Immortal Salvation by doing good actions unto those who are in need, and in this manner sins will be covered
      He was telling them with this invitation, look the way you are going you are going to Hell, for goodness sake "GIVE ALMS UNTO THE POOR, (that at least you'll be immortal) a sort of a lower saved State, heirs to the Terrestrial Kingdom, that shall be governed by Christ.
      Celestial Glory. ZION. Doctrine of the Remission of Sins, Temple ordinances, Governed by God Head of the Celestial Theocracy: Father or Elohim the Holy Man, The Son of Man or Jehova, and the Holy Ghost.
      Jesus meets a young man who asked him what he can do to achieve Eternal Life. The Lord proceeds to give him a list of what he needs to do. The young man answers, "all that I've done since my childhood", the Lord responds "one thing thou lacks, give all you have unto the poor" the young man couldn't resist the heat of the challenge, and left sad.
      We can see that the Doctrine of remission of sins has the requirements of the Doctrine of Covering of sins + the requirements of the Doctrine of Remission of Sins,=doing the righteous works that Abraham, did (a list of them in the Book of Genesis); Temple a must in the life of the seeker of Eternal Life. It is the place where we get purified. It is the best place to do the work of godly love for our fellow men who left this earth w/o knowing the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
      Great are the revelations received in the House of the Lord by a true follower.
      In the book of Apocalypsis says in references to the honorable, righteous and holy death:
      Their works shall follow them.
      These are the Doctrines of Salvation thought in the restored Church. If we choose to not clean and purify ourselves. Then we are blind and deaf, more and more. You ejected yourselves to a wrong fold. If you see better now after reading this comments, return, that the Father of the Prodigal child is always waiting at the door of His Home, ready to forgive if the child comes in true humility.
      All the misunderstandings, and confusion is due to spiritual blindness, and deafness.
      I desire the best for you. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen

      I sat in on a missionary lesson with a young man learning the gospel last night. The Spirit of God testified with such bold strength that Joseph Smith was called as a prophet of God. He was and is a prophet of God.
      I do not have a testimony of polygamy, but that is not a practice of The Church of Jesus Christ at this time, and it is not asked of me. However, I can see a purpose to build up a righteous generation quickly as it was used in Joseph’s time or Abraham’s time, but for the sake of argument, let’s in theory agree that polygamy is not of God and it’s a sin. A sin would not prevent Joseph Smith from being called of God or restoring the Church or translating the plates of The Book of Mormon. Adam transgressed, Noah got drunk, Lot slept with his daughters, Abraham lied and said his wife was his sister, David committed adultery and killed a man, Moses killed a man, Peter had plenty of issues and denied Christ three times. The Church of God has been led by imperfect men since the beginning of time. Jesus Christ is the only sinless man. The restoration of God’s church is upon the earth and mankind will get closer to God by living the gospel of Jesus Christ and making sacred covenants and through priesthood ordinances of baptism and temple work than by any other means on this earth.
      The Spirit of God testifies of Joseph Smith being called of God as a prophet to restore His Kingdom to the earth and it is a permanent and eternal fact. It is a fact that can be tested and witnessed by those with a broken heart and a contrite spirit. Please repent of your sins, we all sin daily and we need the atonement of Jesus Christ and through prayer with our Father in Heaven and the power and influence of the Holy Ghost that will come to those seeking in faith, and you will be blessing your ancestors by the work you will be doing for them in the temples of our Lord.

      @@susandixon3790 - I was where you are until 2019. All that you testified of I believed. It isn’t the sins of men or their faults that led me away from the LDS faith. Mormonism says “We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly”. Paul preached that we are saved by grace and not by works. When we speak of someone’s works it is a form of boasting. Grace is a gift therefore it cannot be earned. The Book of Mormon says we are saved by grace too. The difference is when Joseph smith wrote the Book of Mormon he added “after all we can do”. John 3:16 says For God so loved the world that he gave His only son that whosoever believes in him will have life eternal. The JS translation of the Bible was completed before he died. That being the case he never changed the part about Grace. There are many other things he didn’t change either. I don’t want to get into a strong debate about what your feelings tell you. The scriptures say that the heart can deceive you. The problem with Mormonism is you can pretty much back up Anything you want with scripture since you’re using not only the Bible, but the book of Mormon, the doctrine and covenants, and the pearl of great price. The book of Abraham, of course wasn’t a translation as the church was teaching, and had nothing to do with Abraham or doctrine. When you stick with the holy Bible and don’t bring in Mormon, literature, or Mormon scripture, you’ll come to learn who Jesus is and how to receive salvation. Salvation doesn’t come through baptism after someone dies, or excepting a gospel in another life. Paul even warned that if we or anybody else comes and teaches any other gospel than what we preached let them be a cursed. I did that for many years until the Holy Spirit taught me the truth. It wasn’t a warm, fuzzy, feeling that Mormons talk about. It was simply a gentle movement out of Mormonism and into Christianity and a relationship with Jesus Christ . I hope you are willing to listen to the gospel of Jesus Christ and leave the falsehood of Mormonism. I encourage you to repent of the false teachings you believe and give your life to the Lord Jesus Christ God bless you in this journey.

      No one is a greedy cult member. Lay ministry creates a lot of different interpretations. Perhaps too many! Personally, the bishop that deemed his tithe inadequate was wrong. The church didn't determine his tithe was inadequate, this man himself did by submitting his will to another man, rather than God. God would have told him his tithe was adequate and accepted as a full tithe, if he'd simply asked God. But he didn't. He allowed the bishop (another man) to determine for him. What a fool!

    As an exmormon that left the church just last year, it feels my heart with joy reading comments of people that left the church and serving Jesus Christ. I left Catholicism for Mormonism in 2018 as I was desperately searching for anything that would make me reunite with my late father. When I got baptized into the church (Feb 14 2018), late that year I decided to do my dad’s proxy baptism. Fast forward last year I went to the temple to do his proxy endowment and when I asked if I could get sealed to him, I was told it’s impossible since he wasn’t married to my mom and the fact that she isn’t even LDS. I was told that I can start up my own lineage in the church by finding a temple worthy man and have my generation get sealed to me. This broke my heart. Meanwhile, by this time, I had no interest of studying the Bible since I was told that it’s not accurate and that the BOM was. For the years that I was in the church, I tried so hard to ready the BOM but it was difficult and I think that one time that I read about the “Black skin” and being an African, it hurt so bad. I met with one of my religion professors at BYUI to talk about life and he all over a sudden asked me “Have you ever asked yourself why you’re black?”. This was so unsettling. Anyways, I left the church and I renounce all the rituals that I participated in. I am now a born again Christian and my walk with Christ is something that I am grateful for. I pray for all Mormons to seek the light of Jesus Christ in their hearts. Be blessed!!

Mormons and others were mislead by the false teaching of the mark of Cain which was a False Teaching that also spread through some Protestant and other Churches teachings in early American History. As an ex Mormon I remember questioning that teaching. I want to encourage you to prayerfully go back and re discover your Catholic Faith. Faith in Jesus Christ is Number One! But, as someone else also shared there were many Saints and Fathers of the Church who were of African Heritage. But, more important than that. For yourself, go back and discover for yourself, what you left behind in your Catholic Faith for Mormonism. As an ex Mormon and a convert to The Catholic Faith ,I find Jesus Christ Alive and Present to Me, in Prayer and In The Sacraments , In The Holy Eucharist. He is First in my Life and in My Faith Life!!! Pray for His Will in your life. Sometimes He calls us to go back and see what we left behind in exchange for a counterfeit ,which Mormonism is.

    I was born into mormonism. At forty years old, I was the gospel doctrine teacher in the adult sunday school. One Sunday, I heard the voice of the Lord tell me, "You are finished here."
    I went home and prayed about it.
    I called the bishop and resigned my position and never went back. For 20 years, I prayed to the Lord. "What would you have me do," Every day. My answer came back the same. "Be still."
    The doctrine of works was such a deep part of my life. It kept me stuck. The Lord was very patient with me. Then, one day, I asked the question again what should I be doing? The Lord answered. "I want you to love others the way I love you." It sounded simple enough, but loving the fallen race of Adam is the tallest order I could have been given. Now, when I pray, I ask the Lord how I can deliver his love to those I will meet that day. After ten years it is getting easier. Jesus is God. God became man and died as a man for my sins for my sake. Jesus was raised from the dead 3 days later, having conquered death and sin.
    Those who accept this simple testimony become sons and daughters of God. Man does not become God. God desires relationship, not religion.

    This video came up and decided to listen as I was preparing breakfast…this was such a great testimony from Mr Wilder.
    At first as I listened I didn’t catch his name until a quarter way into the video when he spoke about his son.
    And, prior when he said his wife was a professor at BYU….then he mentioned Mika, his son….i had to listen again…I actually had listened to Mika’s testimony, then his mother, Lynn’s testimony and now I’m blessed to his Mr Wilder’s. Amazing and humble testimonials from all these and NOW IM COURTEOUS about the testimonials of the other family members.
    To Mr Wilder…you and Ms Lynn have raised some beautiful godly children. You all are born ( AGAIN 🥰🙏)teachers…you speak beautifully about the Word of God….pls stay humble.pls!! We need great pastors that teach JUST the true Word of God.
    God bless!! 🙏❤️

    I was raised in the LDS church. After living in Utah my whole life I too left the LDS church to follow the true Jesus of the Bible. . I will never be the same. I am in the process of healing mentally, emotionally and spiritually from the mis truths of the religion. I am Soo grateful for my Savior and his love for me and am praying everyday for others to see the truth. I too realized the Masonic relation as well as the other key points of this video. Thank you for sharing your testimony. ❤️

    I have been raised in a Christian household, almost everyone in my family are Christians, live in the "bible belt", and don't personally know any Mormons. But for some reason, God has put it on my heart lately to learn more about the "LDS" church and ways to minister to them. I'm very non-confrontational and have always dreaded the idea of a Mormon missionary knocking on my door, but if that happens now I feel equipped to share the love of God and the truth of the scripture. Thanks for sharing you story, and Praise Jesus that he washed our sin away, and that we are righteous with the blood of Christ!

      What a blessing you could be to the missionaries who knock on your door! Consider yourself a seed planter in their hearts with truth in love. I served a LDS mission in south Caroline back in the 90’s and had many uncomfortable encounters with Bible bashing Christians. These interactions did not soften my heart but built further pride that kept me from seeing who Jesus really is. But 25 years later He opened my eyes and rescued me, He was so patient with me. Do know such words as salvation and eternal life, among many others have a different meaning, there are many good books out there to help with differences of Christianity and Mormonism. May God bless you in sharing His Truth in Love!

      My own two siblings left the church, and two of my wife’s siblings also left the church. The only shunning has come from the ones that left, we’ve never shunned or disinvited them to regular family functions or get togethers although they get quite mad because we won’t provide alcohol when we get together at active member homes haha. What a silly thing to get mad at… and sometimes not come because of it.

      @@dcarts5616I knew the Bible before the Book of Mormon, I also live in the South, so hearing these “left the church because I read the Bible” stories seem disingenuous.
      I don’t make it to church often due to health struggles, which has lead my family to daily prayer and scripture study using only the Bible (I read the Book of Mormon in my personal study). My wife has had deep concerns about the Latter Day Saints but because of the lies and stories like we find here on this video, but through how I live and through the kindness of church members from our ward, the prejudice has been melting away. As we’ve grown closer to Christ, and the presence of the Holy Spirit is in our home she has noticed the something off about these ex mormon videos. While she’s still hesitant she has been reading the Book of Mormon a few random chapters at a time. She leads a women’s Bible study weekly and in her reading of the BOM she says she has yet to see a difference in the doctrines of the Bible and the doctrines of the Book of Mormon. It’s a beautiful thing to witness, and I’ve learned much through attending other church’s with my wife. I see that many non Latter Day Saint followers of Christ have genuine relationships with Him. I’ve grown to appreciate how many people outside of the church desire to serve God, and how prejudices that they’ve inherited through tradition have kept them from finding fellowship in Christ with those of the Latter Day Saint faith. Because of the closeness this topic is to my heart, I hope to continue to others find the prejudice in their lives melt away as well.

Your thoughts on how disingenuous these accounts are is exactly how I feel. Funnily, I almost went inactive as a youth *because I was SO BORED with the emphasis on the Bible* when we studied it at home, church, seminary hahaha! I loved the spirit I felt at church though so never thought to actually leave. But hearing this woman and her husband lie and say we were taught to only study the Book of Mormon and NEVER read the Holy Bible is pure horse cr**. That’s why I distrust everything else they say.

      My wife wishes to be baptized, but due to disability, marriage laws, and keeping up with medical costs and insurance, she is unable to. It was a setback for sure, but God is faithful. My wife is a quadriplegic (paralyzed from the shoulders down) from a spinal cord injury. Due to the high medical costs she the only insurance available to her is through Medicaid which limits her in many ways, one of those being the ability to legally marry. Since I cannot cover the would be $160k+ cost per year in medical expenses. So we had our wedding ceremony and never filed the paperwork, but it leaves us in an usual spot for baptism and for me as a member as well. We’ve met with our local general authority, and it seems like our best hope is for laws to change in regards to Medicaid eligibility and marriage. Though we always leave room for the miracle of healing, we know that she will be restored whether in this life or the next. I’m so grateful for her example, and seeing her push through her struggles with faith helps me to set aside my struggles to serve her. While life may seem unfair to others looking in, the trials we face in life only bring us closer to God and closer together.

However now having finally made a stronger choice and knowing the beauty of the choice that He gives us as His sons and daughters. I so appreciate your testimonies due to what the Holy Spirit revealed to me and knowing that, that belief was wrong in that it had the multi wives thing but also they placed Joseph on a pedestal that only Jesus can own.

    I left the Mormon church thirty two years ago.
    I attended Rick’s College in 1989 ( now BYU Idaho) and got kicked out my first semester. I had to go in front of a board of teachers and students and confess my wrongdoing and agree with the board what I did was wrong. I was also asked if I was sorry. It was all about shaming me. It was after the third time the “board”called me in when I finally broke down and cried because they said they knew what I had did and I just needed to admit it.
    I ended up admitting what I had did and was kicked out for the rest of the semester. The “board” said I would be able to return the next semester.
    After I left, I never went back to Ricks or the Mormon church. I did find my faith in Jesus and I am still on a journey getting to know him. It’s been awesome! I wouldn’t be where I am today without the college experience.

      Hard to go through all that, no doubt, but I'm glad you're now building a relationship with Jesus!! I went through one of the church courts in the early 90s. The stake president & his counselors were gentle with me, they were good men. Everyone I encountered in my years in the Mormon church, whether in NW Georgia where I was from & now live again, or during the 17 years I lived in Salt Lake City (1990-2007), were wonderful people. That's why it has been so hard for me to leave the LDS church, which I had joined in 1984 with my former husband, after having grown up Baptist. I found it to be such a good church, with good family values, & loving, giving people. BUT...I no longer believe that Joseph Smith was the prophet of the restoration, & therefore everything else falls in. I now attend a Church of God that is a wonderful church, with a pastor who is all about Jesus, but I need to remove my name from the LDS church's rolls.
