So what is the difference between mormon church and church of mormon? You don't have to "follow" this, you can read all about it, including original historical records, at exmormon.org. I spent over 2 years immersed in the study, including journals written by my own ancestors. The early church's leaders were as evil as any villan in history and it's fully documented, which was a good product of their obsession with baptizing the dead and recording their history. Joseph Smith was a Mason. The mormon temple ceremony invokes the mason oath and involves annointing breasts and genitalia with water and oil while naked, by a stranger. Brigham young married 8 year olds to old men and saw nothing wrong with incest since Adam must have practiced it.
There are mostly good people in that church, and they do not know their own history.
As an ex mormon that studied my way out of that mess I can attest to the truth of your statement. (Brigham Young is my great, great, great, grandfather through wife #17 Harriett Barney).
Congratulations. I got out 55 years ago because I saw the web of hypocrisy and nonsense that made up their only true church. I was lucky in that left still believing in God, because so many lose all faith when they discover how they were lied to. About 15 years ago on a slow work day, I thought, "Hey. With this internet thing, I might be able to learn the great secrets of the temple." and I was off and running.
