I think the core of this interview is why a lot of us have left the LDS church. I now have a loving and close relationship with God and Christ than I ever did being a Mormon. Having grown up in a Polygamist family, then embracing mainstream Mormonism, finally leaving it all behind, has helped me be happier than I have ever been. No more fear. I love it. Bless you all for helping the rest of us understand our feelings of why we left.
There’s definitely a lot of members who get jealous of another persons good fortunes. It drives me crazy when members bring up the second coming and use it as a excuse for there lack of success. I have been a member for over 40 years and have heard it all. If anything the church suffers from is a lack of good leaders who have common sense. Whether true or not these guys will be surprised on what they have to answer for in the next life. Not you or I.
