I served a mission in Japan and remember all the wonderful spiritual experiences and feelings very vividly. Spirituality, God and Religion is such an interesting and passionate topic.
My life has been such a wonderful journey of discovery, and I have found so much to gain by studying these topics. My life is truly enriched because of light and truth.
I encourage you to leave no stone unturned in your quest for truth.
My advice? Learn what truth is, and seek to discern the patterns of truth. Here is what I have found so far:
Truth is not afraid of being discovered and examined thoroughly, rather it is darkness and deception that hides behind the shadows -- in hopes of never being "found out".
Truth can be sliced and analyzed in 100 different ways and it will always remain true.
Falsehood on the other hand can only be sliced a few different ways before it becomes increasingly obvious that it is false.
People who hold false beliefs avoid criticism and debate, and tend to avoid sharing their experiences publicly because they know their opinion is not well founded.
Truth tends to fit all the facts, while falsehood only fits a portion of all the facts.
Truth is independent of belief, social status, tradition, feelings, experiences or culture.
Falsehoods that persist for long periods of time (generation after generation) tend to have a propagation mechanism that takes advantage of human purposes, fears and desires.
Truth cannot contradict itself or reality.
As knowledge is gained, truth and falsehood both become more self-evident. Therefore knowledge plays a major role in discernment.

my name is David, my family is for a lack of a better word "Mormon Royalty" an apostle is my first cousin, my family has been with the Church since inception. I am proud to say that I am an exmormon! spread the truth. Hopefully everyone will wake up and live happy lives for God not a business disguised as a church.
I pray that you have found Jesus Christ.
As an ex-Jehovah's Witness, I appreciate this video. Same scam, different religion.
"Right off the bat, I stopped judging people..." You NAILED that one buddy. It's hard to put into words that strange piece of mental programming -- and how it feels when its gone. It's like a knife that you've lived with stuck between your ribs your whole life, and then, suddenly, it's gone! It feels so much better, and I genuinely started to learn about REAL Love after I stopped judging my fellow humans and started wanting to accept each of them.
I've been there praying for God to tell me this was true. I fought with the spirit that I felt telling me it was true. I found myself waking up in the middle of the night covered in sweat. Because I was fighting so hard to ignore it, I felt that same spirit trying to force this religion on me. That's how I knew it couldn't be true! The spirit behind Mormonism isn't God!
I'm an exMormon too. Our real GOD is so much better! Jesus Christ is our Savior and He loves us so much! God bless you brother. The truth will set you free!
This guy changed my life three years ago. I will be forever grateful for his videos on UA-cam!!! I finally started sharing my own story on my channel. Thank you so much for changing my life and leading me to find truth.
I am a former Mormon. I've had so many friends too who left Mormonism and became as this young man. Their faith was never in Jesus Christ - They never knew Him. Their faith was in the Prophet, and their leaders...the church, its beautiful buildings....it's pioneer heritage...The Book of Mormon. When they found out the LDS Church was all a gigantic fraud they never gave a second thought to Jesus Christ and never really wanted to get to know Him...they were never taught how...they probably believed he was a fraud also. The LDS Church leaders don't stress having a personal relationship with Christ the Son of God. What they say trumps all Scripture....it's the church leaders who are the center of focus...you'll never hear "Come Follow Me"~Jesus Christ - Instead - "Follow the Prophet." Sad. And they poison your mind as soon as they can to try and get you to doubt The Bible - question if its correct. I hope this young man will find a Christian Community and get taught the real Gospel of Jesus Christ and realize He is all there is. And that the pursuit of Him, and the Quest to learn and know Him brings the greatest Joy, Satisfaction, and Peace that he could ever know. It is a spiritual, intellectual, physical, and emotional roller coaster ride that is the most thrilling experience he could ever have in his lifetime. It was, is, and shall ever be one for me. God Bless.
The end of Mormonism .... Atheism. It is totally understandable. I'd be an atheist in the Mormon god too.
Wow a friend of the family thought that he could literally resurrect someone and told the family directly ‘I will resurrect this deceased person?’ I’m sure they were trying to be comforting but that must have been absolutely traumatizing for the family.
Chris, Thank you for sharing, I AM an ex Mormon. I have a lot to say about myself when I was Mormon for 18 years. On My period of time being Mormon So many things were troubling me, so many things were confusing me.
Congrats on breaking free of a lifetime of programming Chris!
Him:"there could be a lot of different things in this cup"
I had Mormonism thrust on me from birth too and I left as soon as I was old enough to think for myself. Well done.
Wow! His story blew me away. It takes so much strength to question your lifelong beliefs and those of your family and friends.
Wow. As an ex-Jehovah's Witness, I hadn't planned to listen to your entire story. But you spoke so passionately--yet logically--and I identified with much of what you said--especially about loving this life now. I, too, felt that freedom from the fear of Satan. Rather than judge others, I can relax and enjoy people. Thanks from South Dakota, Chris!
Remarkable story. I was in an LDS Bishopric, opened myself to fully scrutinizing our truth claims, and ended up leaving. Best decision I've ever made. Painful yes, but life outside of the belief bubble is so much better than the narrow shoes of the LDS life.
Great explanation of the experience and the very typical emotional process of leaving the LDS church.
This video is absolutely beautiful. It's civil, logical, and deeply personal. Thank you. I am also an ex mormon and it was a painful and long transition in my life. I'm still not married so I cannot imagine the what it was like for you to leave when you already had a family in the church. I greatly respect you for your integrity.
This was a fantastic story that I greatly relate to at this point in my life. This quarantine has given me a lot of time to do my own research and try my own tests and I’ve come to similar conclusions.
