@mormonstoriespodcast: Ross Martin talks about how The CES Letter change his life. So many members of the church stumble across new information that causes them to question or doubt. It’s almost always a heartbreaking experience when they learn that the church is not true. #lds #mormon #byu #byui #byuh #thechurchofjesuschristoflatterdaysaints #bookofmormon #ldstemple #ldsmission #ldsmissionary #saltlakecity #utah #exmormon #exlds #exmo
I was told I wasn’t reading scriptures enough, wasn’t praying enough, wasn’t fasting enough, not at the temple enough. Never enough.

My Bishop told me it wasn’t my job to worry about how the tithing money was spent, it was just my job to pay it. I was done.

I hope that one day my parents can see the book of mormon for what it is. It breaks me heart so many good people are stuck in false beliefs

I served with this man and have always had a deep respect for him. He's one of the best leader I've ever had the privilege of knowing.

Pray, read scriptures, and go to the temple and some how that is enough. But when it's not, there is something wrong with us. We are not alone, but we are left alone

I was a Mormon until my 30s, when I stopped trying to believe. But I’m oddly grateful that the purity culture kept me safe during my teen years.

We clung to my husband’s calling as ward mission leader, as a “back to basics” I suppose… helped us finally leave. I wish the CES letter had existed back then

Ross, after you allow yourself to go through 'the stages of grief', you will begin to heal, and then have a wonderful life. Be free.

It’s been 12 years since I lost my faith…3 since I gave up on trying to stay and make it work with the mental gymnastics. It still hurts so much. It’s the worst type of betrayal.
