Like the children of Israel, after 40 years of wandering in the deserts of Mormonism, God released me from the desert soil and planted me in the Promised Land both temporally and spiritually. On Independence Day, July 4, 1998, I celebrated my personal Independence. On that day, I walked out of my 8am to 7pm job at Sun Microsystems that I had been "programmed" to trust with my happiness and salvation. I made a commitment to myself to resolve the Mormon puzzle that had troubled me for more than twenty years, and I was to determine to find the truth of the matter once and for all. The facts of Mormonism's history painted a story that I could not comprehend nor piece together. Either I was going to stay a Latter-day Saint in the "True Church" for good, or God would need to break down the spiritual mountain and send me into the plain valleys of truth and righteousness.

I prayed earnestly for an answer, and God led me to my Bible. I read the promise of Jesus who said that if we have the faith of a mustard seed, we could move mountains. The light poured into my mind, and it was clear that Jesus is not talking about physical mountains in that a scripture. He is talking about spiritual, mental, and emotional roadblocks that beset us all. If we pray and have faith in Jesus, God can take any spiritual mountain and cast it into the purifying ocean of truth, dissolving uncertainty, confusion, despair, and fear. I had read that scripture a hundred times but never caught the true meaning. I could imagine and believe that God knew all things, and He knew the truth about Mormonism. I reasoned, therefore, that He had the power to unravel the web of lies and contradictions that stood in my face.

So I prayed. I told the Lord that I believed He could move the mountain of Mormonism and completely cast the conflicting doctrine and historical roadblocks into the sea of the Holy Spirit, dissolving any falsehoods according to His will and timetable. My heart throbbed. I felt my direction moving away from my LDS roots, and I feared making a mistake. I was willing to do whatever the Lord desired and prayed sincerely that I would accept the truth, whatever it is. If the Church were true, then so be it. But God would have to unravel the conflicts for me.

I'm here to witness God is faithful. Within two months, the mountain of Mormonism was completely moved into the sea of truth, and I've watched it dissolve bit by bit, concept by concept. God revealed to me the false logic and the imitation, false sources of the LDS religion to my complete satisfaction.

The way the puzzle unraveled was unusual. I traveled to Sweden to meet with a very spiritual man, Christopher Warren, a former member of the LDS Church and Reorganized LDS Church who had studied the Book of Mormon intensely for over twenty years. He had written a summary of what the Lord had revealed to him about Mormonism on the Internet, which is included in the appendix of this book [2].

My biggest hurdle at the time was the three witnesses' story. They saw the plates and the angel and were faithful to their testimony until the end of their lives. To me, this was the strongest evidence that the LDS church was true. No Anti-Mormon literature had ever successfully challenged nor refuted the testimony of the three witnesses, and Chris astutely identified this as my "Achilles' heel".

But I'm an honest person. I was not about to unplug my roots in Mormonism until all the major discrepancies were answered. My opinion was that Joseph had translated gold plates and saw angels with the witnesses, and I was not budging off that belief! The facts testify that those events actually occurred in history.

Chris explained to me that false angels can materialize as physical beings as well as produce tangible objects such as gold plates. Immediately I thought of the live snakes that Pharaoh's magicians produced from wood staffs and realized the Bible supported his statement. It made sense. I had assumed that only true angels had the power to do work in the physical realm, and this opened my mind further. Then he showed me a few contradictions in the Book of Mormon that proves it could not have been translated by the power of God.

But I still insisted the Book of Mormon was God's book. I had a sure testimony of the spiritual truths it contains. I had born my witness a thousand times, and I wasn't about to just give in so easily.

Then in Sweden I had several confrontations with false light and experienced an actually "burning in the bosom". This powerful light tried to force me to believe in the Book of Mormon. False angels appeared to me in semi-dream visions, and I wrestled with this "white light". It was awful. I had been on a path for twenty years believing in the "burning of the bosom", and I finally received what was promised. However, the "burning in the bosom" was not what I thought it was. It was a forced "white light" and the power tried to compel me down a course I did not want to go.

One night, at about 2:00am I tried to sleep. A "burning sensation" began revealing all kinds of principles of "light and truth". It enveloped my entire mind and soul. It started in my head, moved to my heart, and even went into my fingers and toes! It burned deep within my spirit like fire. It was not a physical sensation. It was a deep, spiritual burning from the inside out. It actually felt very good. Warm, peaceful, and comfortable. It was very delightful. Voices entered my head, trying to convince me to submit to the light. It was compulsive. I sensed it was not good, for God would never force his will on anyone. I was being spiritually raped, and I knew it! When I realized that, all the "good feelings" became disgusting to me. I resisted with all of my mental capacity and effort, trying to get the dirty white light out of me. It lasted for about an hour. I kept holding on to the fact that I could believe as I chose to, and nobody or no power was going to change my mind. After a while, I finally praised God for the trial, and lifted my voice up unto Jesus Christ in praise and thanksgiving, and I finally found the peace and power to break the demonic spell and go to sleep.

A few days later, I was reading the Bible in my room in Sweden, and Chris Warren walked into the room and sat down. My Bible was turned to Genesis Chapter 6:1-5 in the New International Version of the Bible:

"When men began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, the sons of god saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. Then the Lord said, "My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal, his days will be a hundred and twenty years." The Nephilim [Nephies or Nephites] were on the earth in those days-and also afterward-when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown. The Lord saw how great man's wickedness on earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time." (Gen 6:1-5)

In the Kings James version of the Bible, Nephilim is translated "giants". To really understand these verses, the whole thought needs to be taken in context. These are the times before the flood. The world had become so wicked, God destroyed the entire earth with the great flood. I used to think that people went around killing each other, being angry, and just being "terrible" to each other. But after my experience with false light, I believe that the evil that covered the earth was a "self-righteous" attitude of "spiritual giants" that covered the land. It was covered with the kind of light that exists in the LDS Church. It is imitation light in which people seek to become "spiritual giants" as a goal in the mind, without the grace of God. God is not praised, but man is praised for his great wisdom and strength. God is viewed as one providing the "opportunity" for this spiritual development made possible through free agency of man. By choosing the right, men can become exalted . The concept can become so corrupted, that everyone believes in themselves that they are "good" and "the sons of God" by birth-right.

This "spiritual genetics" gives one th
