After 37 years of faithful attendance, we discovered the truth.

I am struggling as well with LDS. I researched Joseph Smith and found that The book of Abraham was a complete FAKE story. None of it true down to the drawings. My son who is currently serving a mission... I’m so upset I don’t know what to do... he’s brainwashed and he won’t listen! The book of Abraham was completely false... Joseph said he was translating the Egyptian scroll and had the gift of tongues... when all it was was absolute utter nonsense. That scroll was found in the 60s in a museum dungeon and actually examined and translated by the leading Egyptologists of that times...copied and sent all over the world for other scholars to translate... Do you know what it was? It is a prayer to the Egyptian god Anubis to take the priest (the mummy the scroll came with) into the after life! That’s IT! It never stated anything about Abraham. The drawings themselves Joseph Smith filled in what had been damaged on the scroll when he was supposably “translating”. The drawing was of the god Anubis with the black jackle head and black arms... not a man... I have been deceived and my son who is young has as well. I don’t know how to get my son to listen. I’m SO UPSET.
