It doesn't have to be your calling to set everyone in the cult free. That's not your job, full stop. But you don't have to justify your lack of responsibility with "they must want to be deceived." Fuck right the hell off, lady. Looking back, I would have preferred to know the truth much sooner than I got it. And to be frank, I didn't go looking for the truth. I stumbled upon it looking for faith promoting stuff. So, not everyone who has their eyes opened was looking for it.
A NOM who still attends church said this, so, I thought it was borderline "religious people" saying stupid things.
Norma Oficial Mexicana?
The noise cookie monster makes?
It's not nice to confuse old farts.
New Order Mormons
They stay in the cult out of a hope of changing the toxic doctrines and policies through voicing dissent. Some still believe yet they know about the scam history of the church. The ones I've talked to consider the history of the Mormon church to be "flawed"; they think it should be talked about openly among members, rather than have it whitewashed as it is at the current time. Thing is, if you know the history, then you know the truth claims the church makes are false. The book of Mormon. The stories of visitations Joseph Smith had. The claims of authority and temple rituals. None of it is truth.
