@cleric_of_robinia: I have had many people say I left because I wanted to sin. They say I left because I didn't ever have a testimony. They say I left because I didn't put in the work. They say I was weak. Here's the real story. #exmo #exmormon #exlds #deconstruction #lds
It doesn't matter why you left, but if one day you want to come back, you will always be welcome.

So many members think leaving is the easy way out. They don't care to acknowledge how absolutely devastating it can be. To have a foundational part of your life be exposed as false, mourn the loss of what was once a source of comfort, grieve the years wasted, and lose people you thought were friends. Nothing easy about it, but it's absolutely worth it.

Me too. Leaving the church was like getting a divorce after finding out you were married to a pathological liar you dedicated your entire world to.

Deconstruction is not for the faint of heart 🥹

People don’t leave to sin. Plenty of sinners fill the pews each week. No need to leave. People leave for lots of other valid reasons.

The depth of your faith is what creates the depth of your pain, in my opinion. It gets better, but you’re never the same. Much love bro

I’m sorry. I’m deconstructing right now. But my husband is still a full on believer and we have a bunch of kids who love anything church so I’m in a really tough spot to be in. Appreciate people sharing their stories like these so thank you.

"I still mourn a lost future I always wanted"
I always struggle to find a way to explain that grief. Thank you for putting that into words ❤️

I wish people understood how hard it is to not be like your family and the alienation comes from that

i had the opposite experience. hated church and hated being Christian, but couldn't admit that even to myself because I was afraid of hell. felt like a caged animal. finally got out at 33 and I never felt free before then.

I consider my ex-Mormon status a badge of honor. Many know it is false and do not have the courage to change their lives.

Deconstructed from another religion, but the more you study the more you are set free from it. The irony.

It takes an incredibly smart and courageous person who is willing to use their critical thinking to overcome organizational brainwashing. I was raised Jehovah's witness, when I left I knew I was leaving my entire life behind, every part of my life was entrenched in that church. no more friends, no more family, no more everything I've ever known. I'm 20 years down that journey and I have no regrets. hang in there, you're going to be just fine.💙

Believing members have no idea the pain of finding out your entire identity and belief system is a lie. It’s a horrible, gut wrenching feeling of betrayal, grief, anger, and so much more. Leaving the church was the hardest thing I ever had to do, and yet people like me are portrayed as the villains.

The church is a thief. It steals your life. I’m glad you’re getting some of it back.

The thing about the truth is that it is always restful. And it never changes, only waits to be discovered. 🔥

I know it’s weird to say you are proud of a stranger on the internet but I am of you. It’s hard in Utah leaving the church but it’s worth it! Wish you the best!
