Not sure where to start, and this topic needs a thread outside of the intro forum.
Perhaps you'd like to start a thread on what you found to be problematic in LDS and what precipitated your journey here?
There's quite a debate among ex-Mormons (or post-Mormons, as they often like to call themselves) about whether or not the upper leadership of the LDS Church are still true believers, or if they're just milking their power for the money and celebrity status. Either way, the fact is that the upper leadership is in so deep that they pretty much couldn't get out even if they wanted to. Occasionally, some have allowed their facade to crack, like Jeffery Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, and have given us reason to believe that some of them may harbor doubts about the religion's truth claims.
And yeah, I'll post another thread about my faith crisis and my journey out of Mormonism. I was as Mormon as they get. I was a Mormon missionary and I went to BYU. The story spans a couple of years, so I'll keep it brief.
