Hi all, an intersting topic. I have some observtions on the site that Maxel introduces. The supposed reason for the " Recovering from Mormonism" site is to provide mutual support to others who have left the Church. The name is therefore a bit over the top for that aim. Also, if that was their real aim and they actually stood by it I would say hey that is fine I can understand people wanting to support each other. However, the old adage of "leave it and leave it alone" applies only too well here. The state reason is a blantant lie as, their purpose, as evidenced by the very nasty anit -mormon nature of their postings is only too obvious. This is a very distructive site that peddles rehashed anit-mormon literature as truth using the same old dated attacks on either: The character of the prophet JosephThe Book of Mormonthe doctrines of the Church - tithing etcIt is very hard to rebuff a statement saying that your great great great grand father was a thief. Anyone can make that statement and does not need to support it with any evidnce if the are of a malicious nature. It seems that just making such statements as in the case of many of the lies published about the prophet Joseph somehow makes it true in the eyes of this type of anit-momon group. I posted a couple of rebutals to some of their postings because they were just plain dumb and it did not go down well - I was immediately attacked on a personel level with very few if any reasoned agruements being presented. I am now banned from posting! So I agree with others leave this stie well alone it is very destructive, unfair in its practices and tries to destroy the Church and its members. Love from Fred
