I feel like I'm talking about a different person right now. I'm fidgeting in my chair because it's so odd and so uncomfortable to talk about this. I was a different person. I was a different person back then. And when I left... In Mormonism, there's a metaphor and it's called your shelf. So you're either a Mormon that has a shelf or you're a Mormon that doesn't.

If you have a shelf, you have a shelf that hangs on the wall. And every time you have a question that there's no answer for, you put that issue on the shelf. Now, some Mormons don't have a shelf because they don't have any questions. They follow, they believe. My mom is like this. She is a faithful person. She doesn't need to ask a question.

If this is the way it is and God says it's this way, this is the way it's going to be. But some people have a shelf and every time they go, well, the Joseph Smith story is really weird. Put it on the shelf. Well, he had sex with a 14 year old girl. Oh, no, put it on the shelf. And the metaphor goes that for a lot of us, you put so many things on the shelf that the shelf breaks.

When you find out everything you've been taught is not true, and then you find out the real truth, the anger and the rage and the sadness that you feel, I don't think it's possible to describe it to people that have not left Mormonism. It's...

You find out I've been betrayed my whole life by the people that love me the most because they were betrayed by the people that love them the most and on and on and on. Nobody did it to you on purpose. They thought they were bringing you into the most wonderful thing on Earth. And my family still believes it's the most wonderful thing on Earth.
