![]() ![]() The Anti-Defamation League has actually issued a statement against Decker’s works, something that rarely happens with literature directed against Mormonism. Many other ex-Mormon and anti-mormon writers reject Decker’s exaggerations and sensationalist tactics. The phrase “Out of Mormonism” is most often associated with Ed Decker’s antimormon Ex-Mormons for Jesus or Saints Alive movement and productions, which are on the fringe of the anti-mormon and counter-Mormon society. ![]() Some, however, troubled by the immense loss that such a momentous cultural and ideological shift can bring, feel that they have been duped or lied to and so devote much of their efforts to attacking the Church of Jesus Christ and the restored gospel. Some leave quietly and move to other religions or secular traditions. Not all ex-Mormons turn against the Church of Jesus Christ. Some have stopped attending church or removed their records from the Church because of personal reasons. However, beyond this, there is a very heterogeneous community of ex-Mormons ranging from secular humanists who have rejected a religious belief as superstitious and anti-rationalist, to evangelical Christians who have refuted Latter-day Saint claims about Christian belief and have turned to a Bible-only Christianity. ![]() The term “Out of Mormonism” is a term often used by former Mormons (or former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), usually called ex-Mormons, to describe the transition from being an active and believing member of the Church of Jesus Christ to something else. ![]()
