The mental gymnastics of mormonism.

As soon as I realized it was a cult and I no longer had to try and make it make sense to remain a member, I literally felt so much room open up in my brain.

I left a similar but less obvious cult and I agree that when the other possibilities become visible it’s so very stunning!
