An ex-Mormon take on LDS Sunday School lessons

Bear your testimony of GDG

Has Gospel Doctrine for the Godless helped you? Changed your mind about something? Or even made you mad?

I’d love to hear about it. Any comments about GDG in general are welcome. (Comments about specific lessons can go in the post itself.)

  1. I love your lessons! Keep up the great work!

  2. Your writing is brilliant. The points you are making are spot on. Please add a table of contents. On the mobile site, all I get is one long page with all the posts.

  3. I was reading your article on Lesson 12 in the BofM and wanted to share another article with you on this topic of polygamy. Shoot me an email.

  4. What a shame, you have been given the opportunity in this life but not only do you deny yourself of these blessings but you try to spread falsehoods to take others with you. And then the quote about poison and Christians , do you not know you do not temp the Lord your God.

      The things I’m writing are as true as I can make them, and your threats are ridiculous. Yes, I do hope everyone comes with me and enjoys the best things about life.

    Over the past several days I have been poring over your BOM lessons. It has been an absolute pleasure to re-examine the scriptures with my new perspective, and mark up my quad accordingly, since I have promised my husband I will still attend church for our family’s sake. Your lessons will keep me sane, I have no doubt. Thank you so much for your hard work! I really look forward to continuing through your site.

  6. I am using your posts to correct the falsethings my children hear when my believing spouse takes them to church. Thank you so much.

    Awesome summaries! It inspires my gospel study and enriches my (forced) church experience. Thank-you so much for taking the time to do this. I am already studying for next week’s lesson!

    Great commentary. These lessons are far more interesting than the ones I sat through for years as an active member of the church!

  9. Amazing summaries and insights. I think that SLC has a job for you… Actually, there is good evidence that they closely monitor things online. I wouldn’t be surprised if they try to respond to some of your material when they release their new lessons this coming year.

    It will be interesting to see what they do with the lessons now that Sunday school is every other week. Presumably this will give them even less time to talk about things like church history and the book of Abraham, which is always a plus if you want to keep your testimony.
