He must not have thought me too evil though because he gave me a home teaching job. Some Mormon friends think I'm an apostate. Most of what I believe is still based on Mormonism. In spite of its authoritarian style of leadership, the Mormon church is a church of and for its people. There are no paid clergy.
Every member is given a role to fill.
Unorthodox views are not tolerated well but if enough members voice a desire for change, the leaders listen and slowly but surely the make improvements in the church. But for me evolution is the strength of the church - the ability to adapt to a changing world and a changing membership. I look forward to the new emphasis of church leadership in coming years. It is not easy being part of a cover-up church. I can't see any benefit to me or them by officially leaving.
