Clinging to faith where there is overwhelming evidence against it is wilful ignorance, not spiritual dedication.”

As a former member of a high-control religion, I understand deeply how daunting it can be to step outside of the faith that has been integral to your life for so long. The journey toward self-discovery and liberation from such organizations is often filled with doubt, fear, and a sense of isolation. My hope is that this website serves as a beacon of education and support for those still navigating the complexities of their beliefs, or for those seeking to assist loved ones ensnared in similar circumstances.

I was baptized into the LDS Church in January of 2005. For many years, I threw myself into the teachings and community with unwavering devotion. I poured my heart into fulfilling my responsibilities as a young woman, striving to remain clean and worthy, believing that I was part of something profoundly meaningful. In those years, my love for the church felt all-consuming, and I held a firm testimony of its truth.

However, as I began to prioritize truth and the pursuit of genuine understanding, I came to a painful but necessary realization: the foundation of my testimony rested on beliefs that were not substantiated by evidence. This was not just a creeping doubt; it was a seismic shift in my understanding of reality that fundamentally altered the way I viewed my life and the world around me. I realized I had no good reason to believe in any higher power. This awakening was both liberating and terrifying, as I had to confront the implications of what I was learning.

Throughout this process, I became acutely aware of the importance of believing true things. I had dedicated so much of my life to adhering to doctrines that I now questioned. It became essential to me to separate faith from the pursuit of truth, a journey that I hope to share with others. My mission is to aid those who wish to break free from the constraints of high-control religions and to encourage them to seek their own paths to knowledge and personal freedom. I want to help others navigate their experiences in a way that leads to empowerment rather than lingering uncertainty.
