I was raised a Mormon and within the last few years have left. I want to say thank you to the hundreds of posts I have related to tonight. I am currently 1 or 2 out of about 100 people in my family to leave the religion and cannot understand how my family can believe all of this. I tried for many years to believe, and just couldn't make it happen; the only reason I never left sooner is fear out of what would happen.
My question is this, how can I, for lack of a better word, argue with what my family has to say. I know for me it is wrong, but any proof I try to bring up, it is discredited. I am so happy ow being fee and I want my family to experience the same joy I feel, free from the chains. Is their any hope in them opening their eyes to the truth? Or will I always be looked down upon as a sinner for leaving?
