A friend asked me what some of the reasons were that caused my exodus from the LDS faith after 21 years of devout activity. I described it to her in this way:
“The religion is a puzzle you get when you’re baptized. Meeting by meeting, year by year you begin to assemble it, until you get to the end and discover that not only is the puzzle missing many pieces, but somehow the image doesn’t quite match what’s on the outside of the box either.”
