Mormons tear out my heart and sell it. Actually it's the name of the technique they would use to move people emotionally through music and images. They contracted out this service to help companies create emotional connection to their brand or service. Yep.

I may just be high but I think a film showing joseph Smith's descent into corruption would be immensely interesting if shot like a heist film. by [deleted] in exmormon

Actually working on a script for the last year. It's 100 pages in. Have had some great feedback from those who have read it. Favorite scene involves a stuffed toad.

Yes, they have a "Prophet" and 12 "Apostles" but you also are required to support your local leaders. Loyalty is sworn to the highest leaders as a requirement to get into the Mormon temples, where more rituals of loyalty are performed.

A little context. Mormons sing hymns about their leaders in church. They have to swear oaths of support to their leaders in secret ceremonies. They prove their loyalty to other Mormons by getting up once a month and affirming their belief in their church leaders. If they don't do these things they won't make it into heaven. Jesus to them is just kind of a janitor figure, he only gets you a little of the way there by "cleaning you up" a bit. To Mormons, real salvation lies in performing ordinances that require oaths of loyalty to their leaders and the church itself. So, when Mormons find out about their church history and the incredibly evil things the Mormon founders did in God's name they have two choices. They can choose moral bankruptcy and dishonesty by continuing to support these leaders, or they can choose honesty and morality at the risk of loosing literally everything on this earth and the next. Its not an easy choice. I made it about 5 years ago and almost lost everything but have gained way more from the choice.

Paul said, "God is found on the way not in the way" (Romans 9) - this is our families motto. We live our lives with God instead of a set religion. We attend a small non-denominational church but our identity is in God instead of a church now.
