Finally Free
I got my papers the other day from church headquarters stating that I am free from the church. As you see from my photo I served a mission at the Bishops Storehouse. I do miss my friends but do not miss the false teachings. Ever since people who once said that they loved me and would always be there for me no matter what, found out that I left the church, none of them have spoken to me. What happened to the love and acceptance that the church supposedly teaches.See More
