About My Life Discovered

Dear Visitor,

In 2008, after years of soul-searching, profound thought, study and spiritual reflection, I officially resigned from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This was one of the most difficult decisions I have ever made, especially since I had invested so many years of dedication and service within the Mormon church. When I left Mormonism, I started an amazing new journey in life, an on-going journey that I will share here, on this website. In fact, I discovered my own life for the first time, and a marvelous new world.

I will attempt to share what brought me to this place, how I arrived at the life-altering decision to leave the church of my family and forebears, what I have learned, and what I will continue to learn and experience in the months and years to come. I will tread as carefully as possible to respect those that I love who are still Mormon. However, some of what I write may not be easy for some Mormons to read. But beyond that, I hope and believe this will ultimately be a positive, beautiful story.

I don’t fully know what to expect, but so far, I have learned that the world is far more marvelous than I ever knew… already, barely into my new life, I have been astonished at the good things that I discover every day. So for me, this has been a very positive step. But it hasn’t been easy. There have been challenges, obstacles, surprises and many changes. Here, on this website, I’ll share as much as I can.

Sincerely,
My Life Discovered

    I recently (in November 2009) escaped the suffocating clutches of Mormonism. I was a member for 4 years and tried to be faithful. But every time i thought for my self or acted differently from any one else, i was repremande and judged! I jioned when i was 17 years old. I am now 21 and much better off in the real world!!!!!!!!! I really cant wait to read your story of finally finding yourself. Im just starting……..
