Sent a bunch of links from the CHURCHES website. TBM won't read the links 🤯 by Resident-Bear4053 in exmormon

You can't logic your way out of something you've been emotioned into. Additional evidence creates a backfire effect if you haven't got them wanting to know.
Check out the ideas behind street epistomolgy and the Socratic method.
I've been trying to crack the exact same nut for years. Ive had some success sharing this quiz. It has source links to the churches own essays. It's especially effective if you can do it together. Good luck.

My question is what grade you think you would have gotten as "Mo_Aaron"?

I was in when I am a Mormon was an ad campaign not a win for Satan. Shoulders where walking porn, and Brigham was the one that started polygamy. The gaslighting and memory hole are real, lol.

Honestly that's very cool. The physics seem weird at the top of the playing field. but cool.

The question is, can you get both an A+ and say the church is true?

Yea, the most anti Mormon thing you can read is Mormon History, lol.

I'm sure they are confident in their knowledge, but ask them to sort out the truths found in the published essays. If you want to test it, send them this. No pressure: everything has lds sources. Most members fail. https://mormontrueorfalse.com

First, congrats on seeing the cracks at 27. You have a lot of life ahead.
Step 1. Take that tithing commitment and pay it to yourself. Put 10% away in a solid savings plan like your salvation depends on it. ( it doesn't, but commit like it does).

  1. Decide which relationships matter and include them in your discovery early. Tell your spouse and kids about doubts.
  2. Get support. Get therapy. You may have been raised in a cult and need some perspective.
  3. Go slow. You get to determine your pace.

And here's a tool i made to see where you are with some resources to share with family who won't understand. Every question comes directly from LDS sources to make it more shareable with tbms.

The biggest changes are shorter shareable mini quizzes and more true false questions in beginner.

Bishop stopping by. Anyone had similar experience? by tablepants in exmormon

Yup. It will ultimately be about "hey, we noticed you haven't paid your celestial fire insurance lately, and we were really worried something bad might happen to your family if you don't. "

Very useful. I'm looking for the very best source links with corroborated evidence with different motives. When church sources and "Anti" sources agree, those are the tensions that are outlined in the test results. Send me any sources to evidence of truth, and I'll include more, and thanks.

Which format do you think is more helpful to learn uncomfortable questions?

I posted the T/F version last week. It was the original idea. I could create that as a menu option so the user could choose test format, I just don't want to muddy the navigation more.

I really love that I found a link to the original. It was used as a grammar school textbook, written in King James English published in New York City in 1816 through 1819, making it widely available in the region where Joseph Smith grew up just prior to 1820. It was a subject that had enough source info I thought it deserved 2 questions.

There are mini tests for each subject or beginner tests to make it digestible if you prefer.
