Why in your right mind would you convert to mormonism if you were a Catholic before!?!?!

I don't know why anyone would leave the Catholic Church for any other religion!!! The only reason I can come up with is that they were not properly educated in the faith.
God bless,

I was once a lay leader, a member of Couples for Christ. But, I stopped being a Catholic. I studied the Bible closely and I found out this religion and most in Christendom have polluted the Bible's teachings by adopting non-Biblical teachings such as: the Trinity, hell-fire, etc.
Too, this religion and most in Christendom are immersed deeply in the politics of this world; have been involved in bloody wars; and are guilty of gross immorality.
So, of what use then is Christ's command: 'you are no part of this world just as I am no part of this world'? Therefore, I quit.

They probably switched because the Catholic Church seems to change direction every few years. Isn't a religion a certain belief and shouldn't the structure stay the same? I am a non-praticing Catholic. I am 45 years old and it has changed course a couple of times in my lifetime already.

People "quit" being Catholic for alot of reasons. Alot of times they are just scared to go to confession, so they adopt the belief that it isnt nessecary. Of course this goes agaisnt Catholic doctrine, so they leave the faith and find one that teaches so long as they say "im sorry" all is ok. Repentence is nessecary.
Alot of people dont know its the church Jesus founded. Alot of people jsut dont care i guess...Its a shame

The false Adam - God doctrine is today a great source of embarrassment ot the LDS Church, but one which will not go away. In a CNN interview a few years ago on "Larry King Live" , Mormon President Gordon B. Hinckley was not able to defend this false and anti-Christian teaching.
The underlying false doctrine of "eternal progression," i.e. that man starts out as a pre-existent intelligence and eventually progresses to "godhood" through a process involving incarnation on earth, continues, however, to be taught as Mormon doctrine
If God had a spiritual father (a god) and a physical father (dad), then wouldn't God with all of his perfection see fit to mention one word in his scripture? Wouldn't God give one small bit of credit to his "god" for providing him with all of the gifts and graces that enabled him to progress to such an exalted status? How can you not mention anything about someone you loved so deeply and worshipped so magnificently? We even know a fair amount about Jesus' step father (St. Joseph) and Scripture details a fairly good genealogy record of who begat whom. Why does God completely deny his "god" (or his physical father) of even a small shred of recognition. It is totally counter to the most basic logic. It would also be very useful to know how God went about his day worshipping and obeying his god or even his physical parents. What life circumstances challenged him and brought him closer to his god? Wouldn't an historical documented template of God the Father's life be useful to us on our journey to eternity? Even the pagan Romans and Greeks had thought it further through than Mormonism. It seems primitive logic necessitated at least a basic genealogy for that type of doctrine.
With such a profound emphasis on genealogy, such as the Mormons have, we should know one blessed thing about God's "god"? Shouldn't we?
I hope he comes back

I stopped because it seemed that Catholics spoon-feed religion, rather than having the individual read and believe for himself.
No offense to any Catholics, just answering the question.
Hope this helps!

one cult to another... at least the move was to one with better welfare benifits... at least as long as you stay in the good graces of the cult leaders and the dorkas... and in mormonite controled areas there is very good job security for cult members.
It is too bad they can not find their way to The Way and The True Christian Faith
