@austin.and12: Ex-Mormons are right about a few things👇🏽 1️⃣ You don’t “know” that the church is true 🧐 It’s impossible to “prove” that the church is true. You can know for yourself, but can you transfer your testimony and spiritual experiences to someone else? Nope, they’ll need to find that truth on their own 2️⃣ Spiritual burnout is real😓 Why do members think this isn’t real? Because it hasn’t happened to them. If you’re feeling pressured to live to a standard that is unrealistic, then you can quickly burnout and turn away from the church 3️⃣ We shouldn’t shove hard church facts to the side🫤 Instead of avoiding hard parts about church history, we should study them deeper. Arming ourselves with knowledge and the Spirit is the best defense against Satan 4️⃣ Bad experiences in the church CAN destroy your testimony 🫣 Ex-Mormons often gaslight members into thinking our beliefs are dumb. But members also gaslight Ex-Mormons into thinking their negative experiences at church didn’t really happen. They most likely did, and we need to love them and feel compassion for them instead of disregarding their experiences 5️⃣ It’s possible to feel the Spirit in other churches 🙏🏽 If someone leaves the church and joins another, that’s a much better alternative to abandoning God altogether. Our church doesn’t have a monopoly on the Spirit and the Lord works with His children in various ways Anything I missed? #lds #mormon #exmormon #exmo #churchofjesuschristoflatterdaysaints

CJCarter :

I’m confused 😂😂😂 where is the solid proof of anything about the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints not being true???

this was the most respectful and understanding take I've seen/ heard on a while. You held space for people's experiences that differed from your own, you weren't quick to make assumptions or accusations about laziness or a desire to sin, and you still hold to the good that you find in the church. As an "ex-mormon" who's experienced a loss of community and friendships for choosing a different path, i tip my hat to you. Christianity at its finest ✌️

NOTHING!

5 is a big one. Every single person has the gift of the light of Christ. Every single person can hear the holy spirit. every single person is loved by god. The members of the church of jesus christ of latter day saints arent special and are not the only ones god tries to reach. that would be completely against everything we believe about our devine nature.

agradezco a Dios por la biblia , ay tenemos una gran defensa hacia las críticas de las partes "difíciles de la iglesia" , no digo que no hay que estudiarla historia de la iglesia , solo no tiene que ser nuestra prioridad y enfoque .

Acts 7:48-51 God didn’t ask for Mormon temples to be built, did He? 7:48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth NOT in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet, 7:49 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest? 7:50 Hath not my hand made all these things? 7:51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye. Matt 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. (You?)

You’re missing the part about how it’s not true.

I love when people leave the church, they finally get a personality they can hang on to foreverz

Are the dead being raised are the sick being healed are diseases being cured ?? None of these have ever happened and never will in the lds. They do not follow Jesus
