My Mormon story: A Native American Faith?

By: Jahl, Jakub

This is my own Mormon story that takes place from 2006-2015. In it, I focus primarily on how the Mormon faith drew from Native American stories and how Joseph Smith transformed real historical figures (such as Joseph Brant, Samson Occom, Handsome Lake, Dartmouth, George Washington, Tecumseh, and others) into characters in his Book of Mormon. I also detail the personal reasons that might lead a person to join a cult, as well as the fact that the Mormon Church left me with more than just negative effects. Everything is connected by retold stories from the Book of Mormon in a rationalist spirit and shocking experiences of secret temple rituals that I went through. The book ends with how I was excommunicated by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for heresy because of my promotion of the Ordain Women movement, and how I subsequently entered the Community of Christ.
