Why I Left The Mormon Church...

Every time he had a priesthood meeting after he formed the church, the men would gather and congregate at Joseph's house and spit their tobacco on the floor. His wife, Emma, his first wife, would then have to clean it up. So she told Joseph, I am banning all tobacco from the house. Well, Joseph loved, I'm sorry, Emma loved coffee and tea.

She was a coffee drinker, a tea drinker, and she had several times a day she would have tea time. just like her ancestors were from England. So she was used to having tea. So Joseph said, well, if you're going to take away my tobacco, I'm taking away your coffee and tea. And all of a sudden there was a revelation. These revelations are very convenient.

A revelation that Mormons could no longer drink coffee and tea. So the word of wisdom came about over a domestic dispute. That's why there's no answer. That's why there's no answer as to why Mormons can drink Tons and tons of Coke and Diet Coke, but not drink coffee, which is better for you than Coke. Right. The word of wisdom also says that you should not eat meat unless in times of famine.

But the Mormons don't want to talk about that. You know how religious people like to cherry pick their scriptures and the parts they're going to listen to and the parts they don't. It also says no meat except in times of famine, but they don't pay attention to that. So I struggled with that as I got older. And then, um, as was my duty as the Bishop's daughter, I got knocked up in high school.

Why I Left The Mormon Church...

They always joke, you know, that the Bishop's daughters are the wildest kids. I got pregnant when I was 17. Um, my first husband was 23. at the time. Uh, so we got married, I dropped out of school. I was the drill master on the drill team at the time I was the, um, you know, involved in all kinds of school activities, uh, had this whole future planned out and laid out for me.

And suddenly I was a 17 year old with a baby. And, um, I dragged my husband to church with me. He had never really gone. He's what we call inactive. He was a member of the church, but wasn't raised in the church. He didn't go to church. So then we went through the temple. And I don't know how much you know about the Mormon temple. Have you seen any of the videos online?

No, the church is where you go every Sunday for church meetings. The temple is where you're only allowed to go if you have a temple recommend. Now, this is also a very important hallmark of a cult. A cult always has an unquestioning leader at the top that you cannot go against. You cannot backtalk them. You cannot ask questions of them.
