Ok, let’s explore this.
You say that you are a former Mormon. Have you had your name removed from the Church membership roles?
If not, then why not? If so, then please enlighten us on how you went about removing your name? And why did you decide to leave the church?
>> Where does this intense anger come from? Just what is it about the Mormon Church that makes you so upset?
I am neither angry nor upset. In fact, I really enjoy this forum where we can all voice our opinions/arguments in a respectful manner. It’s an opportunity for all of us to learn if we are open to it.
It was easy, I asked Ralph, my home teacher and ward clerk to see if he could get our names taken off. I am sure the Church still has a record of me, but they certainly don't bother me at all.
The short answer is that I left the church because I became an agnostic/atheist. It wasn't just the Mormon faith, I tried to check out most of the major beliefs out there.

Then why label the church as a cult? Why bring up the atrocities that some of it's members committed in the past? Do you honestly believe that Mormons under the direction of the prophet go around killing innocent men, women and children?
What are your beliefs? Are you part of an organized religion? Do you think it might have some skeletons in its closet? Do you believe in the same God Abraham worshiped?
