Worthiness Is a Lie. Grace Is the Truth

If you’re still trying to “earn” your way to heaven through temple interviews, tithing threats, and shame-soaked worthiness checklists—wake up. You’ve been sold a religious pyramid scheme disguised as “the plan of happiness.” But it’s not happy. It’s heavy. And it’s hopeless.

The Mormon system demands endless perfection and gives zero peace. Meanwhile, the real Jesus—yeah, the one in the Bible—is offering freedom, rest, and righteousness you could never earn. This isn’t just another doctrinal disagreement. It’s the difference between bondage and liberty, exhaustion and joy, eternal pressure and eternal life.

The Gospel of Grace doesn’t ask you to perform. It asks you to collapse in your weakness and surrender to King Jesus. And based on the facts? You’d have to be crazy to stay in the system when Jesus already tore the whole thing down.

The Gospel of Grace vs. Mormon Worthiness

“Why the Real Jesus Is Infinitely Better”

Let’s be brutally honest. If you’ve ever lived under the weight of Mormon “worthiness,” you know what it feels like.

The constant pressure.
The impossible standards.
The mental gymnastics.
The deep-down fear that no matter how hard you try… it’s not enough.

And guess what?

You’re right.
It’s not enough.
It will never be enough.

That’s why the Gospel of Jesus Christ isn’t just good news—it’s the best news that’s ever been spoken.

Let me show you the difference. Side-by-side. Line-by-line.

This is not subtle.
This is not nuanced.

This is life or death, truth or deception, freedom or bondage.

Mormon Worthiness: The Never-Ending Checklist

In Mormonism, your entire spiritual identity is measured by your worthiness:

Are you attending your meetings?

Paying a full tithe?

Serving in your calling?

Avoiding caffeine, rated-R movies, and tattoos?

Wearing your garments 24/7?

Keeping the Word of Wisdom?

Passing your temple recommend interview?

Slip up?

You lose privileges.
You lose spiritual status.
You might lose your family in the afterlife.
Everything is conditional.
Everything is measured.
Everything depends on your performance.
The result?
Secret sin.

Religious burnout.

Performative spirituality.

An entire population faking perfection while privately crumbling.

"You clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside they are full of robbery and self-indulgence." Matthew 23:25

This isn’t faith.
It’s fear in a white shirt and tie.

The Gospel of Grace: A Finished Work

Now let’s talk about the real Jesus. The Jesus of the Bible.

He doesn’t measure you by worthiness.
He doesn’t hand out blessings based on temple attendance.
He doesn’t withhold love until you “clean up.”

He offers one thing:

GRACE.

"For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast." Ephesians 2:8–9

The true Gospel says:

You were dead in your sins. (Ephesians 2:1)

Jesus paid it all. (John 19:30)

You are now declared righteous by faith. (Romans 5:1)

There is no condemnation for you. (Romans 8:1)

Your salvation is sealed. (Ephesians 1:13)

Your righteousness is His, not yours. (2 Corinthians 5:21)

No interviews.
No recommend.
No shame.
No ladders to climb.
Just Jesus.

The Stark Contrast

Let’s put it plainly: the contrast between the Gospel of Grace found in the Bible and the Mormon worthiness system is stark and irreconcilable. In the true Gospel, Jesus’ perfection becomes yours; in Mormonism, your own perfection is what earns God’s favor.

The Bible declares that you are adopted as a child of God by faith, while Mormonism teaches that you must earn your place in the Celestial Kingdom through effort and compliance. God’s love in Scripture is unconditional, but in the LDS system, His favor and blessings are conditional upon your religious performance.

Salvation, according to the Bible, is by faith alone, while Mormon exaltation requires works, ordinances, and ongoing worthiness. In Christ, your identity is secure and rooted in Him; in Mormonism, your identity is constantly evaluated based on what you do.

The blood of Jesus, according to Scripture, cleanses all your sin—fully and finally. In contrast, Mormonism teaches that your repentance must be complete and continually measured to “count.” One leads to peace, rest, and freedom. The other leads to pressure, striving, and perpetual uncertainty.

One is freedom.
The other is bondage.

One is rest.
The other is exhaustion.

Jesus says:

"Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28

Why Is This So Important?

Because your eternity hangs in the balance.

Mormonism teaches that you must become worthy enough to live with God.

But the Bible says:

"While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8

God didn't wait for you to become worthy.
He made a way for the unworthy—through His Son.

If you’re trying to earn it…
You haven’t received it.

The Emotional Toll

Let’s talk about what this does to people.

Anxiety — "Am I good enough?"

Perfectionism — "I can’t make a mistake."

Fear — "What if I mess up?"

Shame — "Everyone else is doing better."

Exhaustion — "I’m so tired, but I can’t stop."

That’s not the fruit of the Spirit.
That’s the fruit of false religion.

"Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty." 2 Corinthians 3:17

A Personal Invitation

To every LDS member reading this:

You’ve been striving.

You’ve been performing.

You’ve been trying to earn what can only be received.

And Jesus is calling you:

"It is finished." John 19:30

Come to the Jesus of the Bible.

Not the Mormon Jesus—the biblical Jesus.
The One who died for you while you were unworthy.
The One who gives you His worth.

You don’t need to check boxes.
You don’t need to earn love.
You don’t need to fake your holiness.
You need to collapse into grace.
You need to stop climbing and start resting.
You need to stop trying and start trusting.

"Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." Romans 5:1

The LDS “plan of happiness” is anything but.
The Gospel of Grace is joy unspeakable.

The IRS, SEC, and the LDS Church

“Hiding Billions While Demanding 10% from the Poor”

For decades, the LDS Church has presented itself as the model of moral integrity, financial responsibility, and transparent stewardship. But the truth—now exposed by federal investigations, whistleblower reports, and their own reluctant admissions—is far more sinister:

The LDS Church secretly amassed over $250 billion in undisclosed investments while demanding full tithes from the faithful, regardless of income.

While single mothers, struggling college students, and senior citizens were writing checks they couldn’t afford to remain “temple worthy,” the Church was stockpiling one of the largest religious investment funds in world history—in secret.

This is not speculation.
This is federal fact.

Let’s unpack it.

The SEC Exposé: Smoke, Mirrors, and Shell Companies

In February 2023, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) fined Ensign Peak Advisors (the LDS Church’s investment arm) and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints $5 million for deliberately hiding their wealth through shell companies.

According to the SEC:

The Church created 13 shell LLCs to mask the total size of their investments.

From 1997 to 2019, they failed to disclose holdings as required by law.

The motivation? Avoid public scrutiny over how vast and lucrative their financial empire had become.

The SEC stated bluntly that the Church and Ensign Peak “went to great lengths to avoid disclosing their investments.”

Translation: They lied. They hid. They got caught.

"He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will find compassion." Proverbs 28:13

The $250 Billion Slush Fund

Thanks to a whistleblower, we now know that Ensign Peak Advisors manages over $250 billion in assets—possibly more.

That’s more than:

Harvard University’s endowment

The Catholic Church in North America

The GDP of most countries

And how is it funded?

By 10% tithes from faithful Mormons.

Members are taught:

Tithing is mandatory to enter the temple.

Tithing is a sign of obedience and worthiness.

Tithing unlocks blessings—while withholding it may curse your finances.

So the poor give.
The widows give.
The sick give.

All while the Church invests in:

Luxury real estate

Stock portfolios

Metropolitan office buildings

Shopping malls

Let’s Do the Math

Let’s say a struggling LDS single mother earns $25,000/year.

She tithes $2,500.

Meanwhile, the Church:

Hides billions

Buys real estate

Avoids taxes

And gets fined for fraud

What does she get?

A recommend

A false sense of religious security

And the spiritual illusion that she’s “earned” her way into the presence of God

This is economic abuse disguised as religion.

"Woe to those who enact evil statutes and to those who constantly record unjust decisions, so as to deprive the needy of justice…" Isaiah 10:1–2

The Hidden Tax on the Faithful

Unlike other churches, which rely on voluntary giving, the LDS Church makes tithing a spiritual tax.

No tithe? No temple.

No temple? No eternal family.

No eternal family? No exaltation.

It’s not generosity. It’s extortion.
And it’s been spiritually enforced for generations.

What Would Jesus Say?

Jesus never sold blessings.
He never required offerings to grant healing.
He never tied your financial status to your access to God.

In fact, He flipped the tables of those who exploited religion for profit:

"My house shall be called a house of prayer, but you are making it a robbers’ den." Matthew 21:13

Meanwhile, LDS leaders:

Live in luxury

Travel in privacy

Serve for life

And don’t disclose their salaries

Let that sink in:

The highest LDS leaders are paid, but their income is hidden.

Yet your tithing is demanded.

Is This What the Early Church Looked Like?

The Book of Acts describes the early Church:

"They began selling their property and possessions and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need." Acts 2:45

Contrast that with:

A church that builds billion-dollar malls

Sits on Wall Street investments

And still tells widows and orphans:

“Pay your tithing, or you’re unworthy.”

It’s disgusting.
It’s unbiblical.
It’s Babylon.

A Wake-Up Call for the Faithful

If you're LDS and you're just now hearing this, don’t feel ashamed.
You’ve been lied to.
But now, you know the truth.

"You were bought with a price; do not become slaves of men." 1 Corinthians 7:23

Jesus doesn’t require your 10% to love you.
He gave 100% of Himself to save you.
He doesn’t invest in shopping malls.
He invests in souls.

If your church hides billions…
Gets fined by the federal government…
And still requires you to give…
That’s not a church.
It’s a corporation in clerical disguise.
You’re not obligated to bankroll a broken system.
You’re not required to fund fraud.
You’re called to freedom.

"It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery." Galatians 5:1
From the Mountain to the Mansion: Polygamy and Power Long After the Manifesto
“When a Lie Refuses to Die”

Most Mormons today believe polygamy is a thing of the past—just a “weird part” of Church history, like pioneer bonnets and covered wagons. They’ve been told the Church stopped practicing polygamy over a hundred years ago when the U.S. government applied pressure.

But here’s the problem:

They didn’t stop. They just went underground.

Polygamy wasn’t abandoned. It was relocated. Hidden. Sanitized.

And its spirit still haunts the LDS Church to this day.

Let’s dig into the timeline, the cover-up, and the ongoing consequences of a lie that refuses to die.

The 1890 Manifesto: A PR Move, Not a Repentance

In 1890, LDS President Wilford Woodruff issued what’s called the Manifesto, claiming that polygamy would no longer be practiced or encouraged by the Church.

This was not because they had a change of heart.

It was because the U.S. Government threatened to:

Seize LDS property

Revoke Church corporate status

Imprison top Church leaders

Facing extinction, the LDS Church issued a public statement… but continued plural marriages in secret.

Between 1890–1904, Church leaders, including apostles and presidents, still performed and entered into plural marriages.

New “quiet sealings” were arranged in Mexico and Canada.

The Church continued to preach exaltation through polygamy—especially behind temple doors.

The lie was strategic, not sincere.

The Second Manifesto (1904)

By 1904, the cover-up became harder to manage. Congress was investigating LDS Apostle Reed Smoot, and more pressure was applied.

So President Joseph F. Smith issued a Second Manifesto, this time adding threats of excommunication for anyone who entered into new plural marriages.

But by this time, the damage was done:

Dozens of secret plural marriages had been performed.

Multiple generations of LDS families were built on deception.

And a pattern of institutional dishonesty had been permanently etched into the Church’s DNA.

Modern-Day Echoes of Polygamy

While mainstream Mormons deny practicing polygamy today, the legacy continues in several ways:

1. Doctrine Never Removed

Doctrine & Covenants 132—Joseph Smith’s polygamy revelation—is still canonized LDS scripture.

It’s never been retracted or renounced.

It still declares that exaltation depends on the “new and everlasting covenant”—code for plural marriage.

"If he have ten virgins given unto him by this law, he cannot commit adultery…"
(D&C 132:62)

So even if most Mormons reject it culturally… it’s still in the book.

2. Eternal Polygamy in Heaven

Widowed LDS men who remarry can be sealed to multiple women.

In LDS doctrine, this means they will have multiple eternal wives in the afterlife.

But women can only be sealed to one husband.

That’s not equality.

That’s sanitized polygamy, hidden behind funeral programs and eternal sealings.

3. LDS Fundamentalist Sects

Dozens of offshoots from the main LDS Church still practice polygamy in Utah, Arizona, and Idaho.

Many of these groups were started by men who were excommunicated for continuing what Joseph Smith taught.

The main Church claims they’re “not affiliated”—but these sects are the logical result of LDS doctrine.

You can’t canonize polygamy…
Preach it for 60 years…
And then act surprised when people keep practicing it.

Polygamy and the Oppression of Women

Even today, LDS women live under the shadow of polygamy:

They’re told their highest hope is to be sealed to a righteous priesthood holder.

Their spiritual progression is linked to their husband’s faithfulness.

They’re told to be submissive, modest, obedient, and grateful—even when their husband remarries in the temple after they die.

This is not the heart of Jesus.

Jesus elevated women.
Jesus never forced submission.
Jesus never told women their eternal future depended on a man’s performance.

"There is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus." Galatians 3:28

Institutional Dishonesty: A Culture of Concealment

Let’s name what’s really going on here:

The LDS Church lied to the government.

Lied to the public.

Lied to its members.

Lied to God.

And they never repented.

They simply rebranded and continued forward with a smile.

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil…" Isaiah 5:20

Why This Still Matters Today

Because the LDS Church has built entire generations on a false narrative.

Girls raised to believe polygamy is a thing of the past—while it waits quietly in Doctrine & Covenants 132.

Widows remarried under the illusion that heaven will sort it out.

Men sealed to multiple wives, while telling everyone “we don’t practice that anymore.”

It’s not over.
It’s never been over.
They’ve just become better at hiding it.

Polygamy is not a footnote in Mormon history.
It’s the foundation of LDS exaltation doctrine.

And it was always a lie.
It started in secrecy.
It thrived in coercion.
And it continues through silence.

The real Jesus calls us to one Bride, one Savior, one Covenant:

"For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh." Ephesians 5:31

No plural marriage.
No heavenly harems.
Just Christ and His Church.
You cannot follow both Joseph Smith and Jesus Christ.
You must choose.

The Porn Problem in Utah and the Eternal Cost to LDS Women

“When Religious Silence Breeds Secret Sin”

Behind the white shirts, family portraits, and temple recommends lies a dark, seething reality. Utah is drowning in pornography.

And not just among the “world.”
Not just among unbelievers.

The data doesn’t lie:

Utah—one of the most religious states in America—is also one of the most addicted to porn.

And at the center of this epidemic? LDS men.

But the real tragedy might not be the addiction itself.

It’s the price LDS women pay for a battle they never chose and were never warned about.
Let’s pull back the curtain.

The Stats: What the Numbers Say

Multiple studies, including data from Pornhub, The Journal of Economic Perspectives, and Covenant Eyes, all reveal the same thing:

Utah consistently ranks in the top 3 states for online pornography consumption.

Highlights:

Provo, Utah, has been ranked as one of the highest per capita porn-viewing cities in the country.

LDS men report higher rates of porn addiction than most other religious demographics.

Utah is a state of silence… but the internet reveals the truth.

Why Is Porn Addiction So High in Mormon Culture?

The answer isn’t just “men are visual” or “the internet is dangerous.”
Those things are true—but they’re true everywhere.
So why is it worse in Utah?

Because Mormonism is built on:

• Performance without grace
• Confession without safety
• Condemnation without healing
• Shame without freedom

When an LDS man falls into porn:

• He doesn’t run to Jesus.
• He runs into secrecy.
• He avoids his bishop, hides from his wife, and keeps his temple recommend at all costs.

Because in Mormonism, confession is not freedom.

Confession is spiritual suicide.

So instead of coming into the light, he learns to function in the dark.

The Collateral Damage: LDS Women

Now let’s talk about the real victims.

The wives.

Imagine being married for 30 years.
You served faithfully.
You raised kids.
You supported your husband’s callings.

Then one day you find out…
He’s been addicted to porn for decades.
He never told you.
He passed his bishop’s interviews.
He went to the temple.
He was a stake president.
And you had no idea.

Here’s the brutal part:

According to LDS doctrine, his secret sin may have cost you your exaltation.

Let me say that again.
If your husband watches porn for 20 years and never tells anyone…
YOU may suffer in eternity.
YOU may not make it to the Celestial Kingdom.

Because in Mormonism, a woman’s exaltation is tied to her husband’s faithfulness.

You could be the most faithful woman on earth…
And still lose your place because your husband couldn’t tell the truth.

"Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord." Ephesians 5:22

Misused to justify silence and subservience.
Meant to describe mutual love, not eternal blackmail.

The Eternal Fallout: A Doctrinal Disaster

According to LDS theology:

Men are gods in training.

Women are eternal helpmates.

The man is the keyholder.

The woman follows him into godhood.

But what if the man falls secretly and never repents?

Then what?

Does the woman lose everything?

Will she find out in the afterlife?

Will she be told, too late, that her husband’s porn addiction disqualified their family?

This isn’t just bad doctrine.
It’s emotional terrorism.

Mormon Women, Wake Up

The silence around porn is destroying your homes.
The shame culture is enabling abuse.
The “worthiness” system is training men to lie.
And the theology is hanging your eternal destiny on a house of cards.

This isn’t what Jesus taught.
It’s not what Paul taught.
It’s not the Gospel.

"The truth will make you free." John 8:32

You deserve to know the truth.
You deserve to be free.
You deserve a Savior who doesn't hang your eternity on your husband’s browser history.

What Does Jesus Offer?

The biblical Jesus:

• Sees everything
• Forgives everything
• Restores everything
• Loves unconditionally
• Cleanses completely

He doesn’t require you to pass an interview.
He doesn’t tie your future to your spouse’s failures.
He doesn’t weaponize silence.
He doesn’t reward secrets.

"Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28

LDS men:

Your porn addiction doesn’t define you.
But your response to it might.
Will you keep hiding?

Will you keep risking your wife’s eternity?

Or will you run to Jesus—the only One who can actually free you?

LDS women:

You are not chained to your husband’s spiritual report card.
Jesus died for YOU.
He loves YOU.
He knows everything—and He invites you into freedom.
The silence must end.
The shame must end.
The cycle must end.

The Culture of Shame: Why LDS Members Don’t Confess—and Why That’s Killing Them

“When the Cost of Truth Is Too High, Lies Thrive”

There’s something suffocating in the air in the Great Basin Region. You can feel it in the pews. You can feel it in the homes. You can feel it behind the smiles.

It’s not guilt.
It’s not sin.
It’s shame.

And shame, when weaponized by religion, doesn’t lead people to repentance.

It leads them to despair, secrecy, and spiritual death.

Let’s get real:

The LDS Church has built a culture of silence—a system so obsessed with appearances that honest confession is treated like betrayal.

The result?

Tens of thousands of faithful Mormons are dying inside, convinced they’re the only ones who struggle, sin, or fall short.

Let’s expose the system that makes this not only possible—but normal.

Why Confession Is Unthinkable in Mormon Culture

In the Bible, confession is a pathway to healing:

"Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed." James 5:16

But in Mormonism?

Confession is a liability.

Confess to your bishop = risk losing your temple recommend.

Confess to your spouse = risk divorce or eternal separation.

Confess publicly = risk spiritual exile, gossip, and shame.

So LDS members do what they’ve been trained to do:

Hide.

Minimize.

Smile.

Lie.

Not because they’re evil.
But because they’re afraid.

They’ve been taught:

“God loves the worthy.”
“You can’t be sealed unless you stay clean.”
“Don’t bring shame on the Church.”

And so, shame rules them.
And secrets bury them.

The Spiritual Cost of Secrecy

When people can’t confess:

• They never heal.
• They never rest.
• They never experience grace.
• They become experts at pretending.
• They build a life of performance instead of a life of freedom.

And worst of all?

They begin to believe that even Jesus wouldn’t want them.

Because their only exposure to “Jesus” has been through the Mormon system of performance, perfection, and worthiness.

Suicide Is the Tip of the Iceberg

Let’s not beat around the bush.

Utah’s teen suicide rates are among the highest in the nation.

LGBTQ+ LDS teens are 4X more likely to attempt suicide than their non-LDS peers.

The shame of not “measuring up” is crushing lives every single day.

Why?

Because LDS members are trained to hide.
They are programmed to pretend.
They are discouraged from vulnerability.

You are supposed to be strong. Clean. Temple-worthy.

Even if you’re broken inside.

"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me…" Psalm 23:4

But when you think God is the one judging you,
Who do you turn to in the dark?

The Role of LDS Leadership

The shame culture isn’t accidental.
It’s engineered.

Bishops—usually well-meaning lay leaders—are taught to:
Investigate sins

Withhold blessings

Monitor repentance

Maintain control

They are not trained counselors.
They are not pastors.
They are not grace-givers.

And yet they hold power over:

• Weddings
• Temple access
• Church callings
• Spiritual progression
• So what do people do?

They say what the bishop wants to hear.
They check the boxes.
They bury the truth.

What Does the Bible Teach?

In the Kingdom of Jesus, confession is a doorway, not a death sentence.

"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9

In Jesus’ Church:

• Grace is immediate.
• Forgiveness is complete.
• Restoration is possible.

"Come now, and let us reason together… Though your sins are as scarlet, they will be as white as snow…" Isaiah 1:18

In Mormonism:

• Grace is delayed.
• Forgiveness is earned.
• Restoration is conditional.

Only one of those is the Gospel.
Only one sets people free.

To the LDS Member Living in Fear

Jesus sees you.

You’re terrified to admit you’ve failed.
You’re exhausted from hiding.
You wonder if anyone would still love you if they knew the truth.

Friend, listen:

Jesus already knows. And He still went to the cross.
Jesus already sees it all. And He still loves you.
Jesus doesn’t shame you. He died to free you.

Mormonism teaches you to clean up before you come.
Jesus says, come dirty—and I’ll wash you.

Mormonism teaches you to confess to a man with authority.
Jesus says, confess to Me—and I’ll make you whole.

Mormonism tells you to earn your forgiveness.
Jesus gives it away, freely, fully, forever.

It’s not your sin that’s killing you.
It’s the system that won’t let you confess it.

Rip off the mask.
Come into the light.
And receive grace upon grace.

"For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ." John 1:17

How the Gospel of Jesus Christ Ends the Mormon Lie Forever

“The Truth That Destroys Every False System”

We’ve done the work.
We’ve followed the facts.
We’ve pulled back the curtain on Joseph Smith’s false prophecies, financial fraud, sexual predation, doctrinal contradictions, temple plagiarism, and generational deception.

Now we come to the final and most important question:

What can truly save the Mormon people?

The answer isn’t protest.
It’s not just facts.
It’s not more arguments.
It’s not even the CES Letter.

It’s the Gospel.

The real Gospel.
The eternal Gospel.
The undiluted, unaltered, unbreakable Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Let’s declare it with fire and clarity:

The Gospel: What It Is—and What It’s Not

The Gospel is not:

A checklist.

A program.

A religious brand.

A building.

A system.

The Gospel is a person: Jesus Christ—the sinless, perfect, crucified, risen, reigning Son of God.

"For I delivered to you as of first importance… that Christ died for our sins… that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day…" 1 Corinthians 15:3–4

It is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone that anyone is saved.

What the Gospel Destroys

When the true Gospel enters, it levels every false system—including Mormonism.

1. It Destroys the Worthiness Lie

"While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8

You don’t have to be worthy. You never could be.
Jesus was worthy for you.

2. It Destroys the Temple System

"Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit…?" 1 Corinthians 6:19

You are the temple.
You don’t need to enter one—you are one.
No more recommend cards. No more gatekeepers. No more worthiness interviews.

3. It Destroys the Fear of Failure

"There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." Romans 8:1

Confess freely. Rest fully. Walk boldly.
No more hiding. No more pretending.

4. It Destroys the False Prophets

"If a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD and the thing does not come about… you shall not be afraid of him." Deuteronomy 18:22

Joseph Smith fails this test.
Brigham Young fails this test.
Russell M. Nelson fails this test.

Only Jesus passes.

What the Gospel Brings

Where Mormonism brought pressure, the Gospel brings peace.
Where Mormonism brought fear, the Gospel brings freedom.
Where Mormonism brought confusion, the Gospel brings clarity.

"So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed." John 8:36

To Every LDS Member Reading This

You were born into a lie.
But you were made for truth.

You were raised in fear.
But you were created for grace.

You were trained to perform.
But you were called to rest.

You don’t have to climb the ladder.
You don’t have to clean yourself up.
You don’t have to pretend anymore.

Jesus Christ sees you.
He knows your struggle.
He knows your fear.
And He died to set you free.

The Invitation

Right now—this moment—you can be free.

No temple needed.
No bishop.
No ceremony.
Just you and Jesus.

Pray this from your heart:

"Jesus, I give up.
I confess that I’ve been deceived.
I renounce Joseph Smith and the false doctrines I’ve followed.
I believe You died for my sins.
I believe You rose again.
I surrender my life to You.
Be my Savior. Be my King. Be my only Shepherd.
I receive Your grace. I receive Your forgiveness.
I receive Your Spirit.
In Your Name, Jesus, I am free. Amen."

If you’ve read this far, you are not here by accident.
You are being called.
By truth.
By love.
By the One true God.
The lies are falling.
The system is crumbling.
Babylon is burning.
The prison doors are open.
The chains are broken.
The coast is clear.
Come out.
Come now.
Come free.

"Therefore if the Son makes you free, you really will be free." John 8:36

And based on the facts…

You’d have to be crazy to stay Mormon.
But you’d be made new to follow Jesus.
