Trigger reasons for apostasy from ‘Zelph on the Shelf’…
“In 1995 I got a new computer that had Microsoft Encarta with it (For you youngsters out there, Encarta was a combination Encyclopedia, thesaurus, dictionary etc. on CD). I started looking up Utah history and found out about the Mountain Meadows Massacre. Could not believe it! So I asked my family what they knew of it. Their reaction? They asked if it were actually true. So I went to the library and read about it which led to many other questions. I was 22 at the time and had been inactive since high school. This really was the deal breaker though.”
