Thank you for sharing your experience. I am new here also and found comfort in the responses others have given. I have a lot of doubts about Joseph’s character but I feel like history could be twisted into anyones perspective who has an agenda…whether that is LDS scholars or anti-mormons. I don’t want to discount those issues but MY biggest hurdle are the things I see now. I have a hard time understanding why the church built a mall and funded the revitilzation of down town SLC. I don’t understand why the church operates an elite hunting perserve. I don’t understand how the church can call a missionary couple to run the hunting perserve when it is a for-profit business. I had no idea of the “corporate side” of the church.
