Summary

"When I compared what I heard from the antagonistic point of view to what I saw in my wife or my children or my parents or my brothers or in my bishopric or the relief society presidency. When I compared what everyone was saying on the antagonistic side of the coin to everything I saw in real life. It didn't make sense .They were saying such terrible, horrible things, but I'm like everything I'm seeing is good. I'm not seeing perfection. But everywhere I look, I look at all my brothers and they don't cast stones. They don't teach to be against any group of people or anything. They're just loving and kind with their fair share of mistakes and with their fair share of issues."

0:26.0	So that made it really easy.
0:28.0	Grew up there, left on a mission when I was 19, kind of just followed the, I would say the expected path for most boys in the church and
0:36.3	went on a mission I would say about I don't know between three and five months in my
0:40.8	mission I went to Louisiana and I loved it down there. You know, we started
0:44.8	to hear all these things. You start to be like people that know way more about the history of the church than I did
0:50.2	for sure at the time would ask us these questions and my mission
0:54.9	opinion you know would be like I ignore it's no big deal it's probably just lies and
0:58.8	then I went to my mission president and I know I emailed that a little bit to you
1:02.0	about that through our email correspondence,
1:04.0	but went to my mission president, was like, hey, you know, I'm hearing all these things about the church, you know, what are your thoughts?
1:10.1	And he's such a great guy, Elder Boardquist. He just said, you know, most of it's probably not true, the rest of it's just trying to make the church look bad, I'd forget about it. And I've never been one to just, and I think a lot of people are like this, just kind of believe what they're told.
1:25.0	And so I thought, well, I'm going to look more into this.
1:29.0	Like there seems to be more to the story.
1:31.0	I remember one guy specifically, he was a preacher preacher at a and I don't remember if was a
1:34.7	Pentecostal church or what it was but he was really nice to us but brought up a lot of concerns and he said
1:40.6	hey you should read this book no man My History, by Fawn Brody.
