Can I phone a friend??

 


I recently had a friend make a post about leaving the church and it's making me relive the hell that was trying to leave.
Cults don't let you leave with dignity. That's one of the many reasons why I think Mormonism is a cult.
I should have been free to leave the church with the support of people who love me and who would understand that I did not find the behavior of the "prophets" at all acceptable.
Instead, I was told that I was being influenced by the devil, that I was not trustworthy, that I was a disappointment, that I used to be respected, and on and on about how sad I was making people. 🙄
Oh, and that I REALLY shouldn't talk about why I left!
For the answer to the question in the picture, here's a hint: It's the answer you would expect from any man-made religion that matches the normal human patterns that have existed for centuries... Not the one I expected from "the one true church", and one of many reasons why I resigned from Mormonism.
