Thank you for sharing Stephen. It's people like you who have the courage to shine a light on what is happening that helps others to heal.

[@11JohnBooker22]

Thank you Steven for all you do.I hope you and your's find continuing peace in the fact that you have inspired others who FEEL trapped. Also thanks to mormonstories for being a beam of light that shines on the faces of those who know the contrived emptiness of institutional manipulation.

EXCELLENT INTERVIEW!!..It really takes humility to put your pride aside and and walk in your integrity!..2 thumbs up!! 👍👍

[@lizzie9125]

to walk barefoot in your integrity, amirite?

[@rmhutchins7]

I've enjoyed listening to this former Mormon's story; a lot of wise insights (compassion, etc.).

[@bodytrainer1crane730]

I love that he walks barefoot everywhere now. Somehow that feels so appropriate after leaving the church. 😂❤️❤️❤️

"The church will destroy you." "Your days are numbered." Does anything scream CULT more than that??

[@jedimormon7138]

you need to get rational and join gloriavale.org.nz/ bring your cat and wife

[@sonomarobins]

Steve seems to be living honestly. I admire that. I wonder if all the drama against the Mormon Church is worth it. I say this because they are so powerful. I admire your tenacious nature. Keep smiling.

[@catrionahenderson7759]

Thankyou for sharing this, I really enjoyed hearing about your journey. I resonate with you very much.

How do I access the UK Mormonstories website? II left the church in 2005. Kind regards.

[@Dev-jq8ch]

This is a chilling story! What other "large" churches do this??? Joyful heart, thank you!

[@peterastill5224]

At Burpengary Ward in Australia they do have more people coming to church.But surprising there continues to be a high turnover of people.The ward may possibly have a congregation somewhere between 300 to 400 people.I have observed that there has only been about 12 people that have had regular attendance for a period of about 5 years.All the others have come and gone.They have 3000 members who do not go to church.Centenary lakes ward has a lot of trouble getting members to do home teaching.There appears to be a lack of interest.Burpengary Ward also has the same problem.

John, How do I find his blog????

[@hectorcastro8136]

"They lied to you for a year"..Thye have lied since the inception of their organization.

[@martinsmith439]

God. Bless you Stephen, you are a good man and I hope you find peace and god please read the new testament

[@martinsmith439]

Let believers believe this church needs to change its thinking

[@martinsmith439]

Once again I must say that without exception it would be better to stay in the church even though it is not 100% true I think it has enough of the truth to be a safe place and live a good life, Stephen is a very special man and I hope he finds real happiness, as far as the church is concerned it should completely re form and change most of its thinking and doctrines for the common good of its members and stop hurting good people

[@jamesmoss7919]

Great podcast. Your excommunication without a trial and keeping it from you made my blood boil. Only true church??? Yah right!!! You should have an exclusive interview with your local news channel and have it broadcasted, to warn non-LDS about what could happen to them if they join the LDS faith, and then have doubts. Have fun walking barefoot ... Haha.

[@lizzie9125]

well it's been at least 5 years and now I'm wondering if John ever got the chance to visit him and go on that barefoot walk yet? lol

[@klarity1111]

It sounds like the Danites are still around!

[@delta932899]

Unbelievable. The disciplinary councils are a joke anyway

[@Djarvis2]

I was sympathetic in the beginning but he got off on demanding minutes of the meetings and trying to build a lawsuit against the church and that’s where he lost me.

[@sarak6860]

I'll bet that Britain is crawling with Danites.
