Contacted missionary who baptized me and told him it was all a lie

I joined over 25 years ago, but a part of me NEEDED to tell him that I found out it was all a lie. I didn't want to be a feel-good faith promoting story for him. I'm glad I did it. :)

Good for you! I think it is important for the ones in it to accept that they didn't make as big of a difference as they think.

For me, I was the missionary and called my converts. When i called my most golden convert, the response was; 'What?, yeah I know that, i was only trying to act nice and not hurt your feelings!'

I also contacted and apologized to my converts. For me it was a matter of integrity (the third step in repentance is restoration!).

Re: Contacted missionary who baptized me and told him it was all a lie

my former convert was instrumental in my exit from MORmONISM.
Honesty was the basis for our relationship. It proved to be a deadly arrangement for the MORmON test -o- moneys involved.

I've thought about doing that...

...unfortunately I didn't keep their names or addresses (New England Mission, 1971 - 73).

I still feel guilty about interjecting myself in their lives with a false message. I'm hoping that over time they all came to see the light and managed to extricate themselves from religious delusionalism. There were 16 of them in all that I taught and were converted to Mormonism.

I feel ya, I had to tell mine too. He took it really well and still keeps in touch- you could tell he was a little disappointed as he is pretty TBM but he's been weirdly supportive
