They say that if you throw a rock into a pack of dogs, the one that barks the loudest is the one that got hit.

Thats what my pastor always says. Its true. I was lucky that my grandmothers breaking away from the LDS church is what caused my dad to raise us as jack-mormons. When I excepted the Lord, I thought I was a Mormon until I started reading the Bible. I had never been in any other church but the Mormon church, and no one had told me any thing about what church to join, or not join. My mothers, mother had taken us to Mormon church twice a week while we were growing up. I wasn't too interested in religion, but always loved the Lord and knew He was real. When I was 15, I had a wonderful born again experience. It was at a Christian rock concert. I came home, and couldn't get enough of reading the Bible. Before I ever went to a Bible Study, or Church I knew I was not a Mormon just from reading the Bible. I was lucky that my mind was not all clouded with mens religious garbage.

It was later on when I started studying my family history that I found out what Mormonism, and the Mormon doctrine was all about.

I think we must go to the same church. Check my profile page and see if your church's website is listed. :-)

Mine was after a christian concert at a coffee house in Stanton CA in 1971. BTW what group was playing? Are you still into listening to Christian Rock music? Check out my profile page for some awesome Christian music sites

I had to leave Mormonism before I was ready to truly accept Jesus (on HIS terms). I left Mormonism after I lost a debate with some Christians that I was trying to convert.

How very interesting. I was born into an LDS family, and had the Bible read to me from the time I was a baby. As soon as I was old enough to read, I given my own Bible stories to read (published by another denomination even.) And then as soon as I was able to understand Bible language (at age 8 or so), I was given my own Bible, as well as Book of Mormon to read from (we were also taught from the Book of Mormon.) I was taught about Jesus Christ, and have always known he was my Savior, from the time I was very small. Sorry, I do not understand people who say that the LDS church doesn't teach about Jesus Christ. I spent four years in seminary, and took Old Testament, New Testament, Book of Mormon, and LDS Church History. So for two of those years we studied the Bible.
