I was moved to write this story in an effort to educate people about God, His laws and how it caused me to separate myself from a religion I practiced for nearly 40 years. I also hope to inspire others to gain an interest and perhaps, as I have obtained, a passion for studying Biblical Hebrew. I will also uncover a centuries old conspiracy to conceal the actual name of God!
Another purpose is to dispel some myths that people that leave The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints leave for only two reasons; they have lost faith, or they have been offended by someone. This is not the case with me, and I believe there is a growing number of people who have left for similar reasons.
I want to be clear, my intent is not to destroy the church. I do not have any animosity towards the church nor the leaders or members. I acknowledge many members and leaders of the church are truly dedicated to living the gospel the best they know how. I also have great empathy for current members of the church as just a few years ago, I was a devout member of the church myself!

Forcefully Married ✅
"You should have told me before that you weren't interested in me" I yelled at my so called husband Samad. Tears were rolling down my cheeks. "Jawariyah please try to understand" Samad said but this time I won't. "From two years only I am trying to understand..... Only I am the one who's compromising... Why not you?" I questioned him. I know I was the one who was being harsh this time but that's enough. "Jawariyah.. You are not the only one who's compromising..." He yelled as his jaws clinched and he pulled me closer.. Closer to his body.. His chest... His heart.. *********************************** They both are married to each other but are totally diff: She's sweet, kind, beautiful, caring and afraid.. Afraid of anger afraid of loneliness... Scared of darkness... and most importantly she's weak! She can't stand up fo herself. He's arrogant, rude, angry, bitter, a psychopathic lover... He's all what she hated.. He's rich.. He's handsome.. If you're looking for sweet romance this is not it. Mistakes.. Misunderstandings.. Miseries.. All these three words would shatter their life.. Their love.Complete
Mind of a Christian
UPDATE! Mind of a Christian Chapter 2 is out, which will revisit some topics here, as well as cover new thoughts: https://www.wattpad.com/story/267417608-mind-of-a-christian-chapter-2 -------------------------------- I'll say it now, I haven't been a Christian for a long time. Even though time isn't necessarily a deciding factor in spiritual growth, I still can't claim that I've grown to be spiritually mature. BUT, I keep learning new things about God and how great He is, and that's super exciting! I want to share the great things about our God to you, so that we may all know His glory. If you're a Christian reading this, I would like to share you things that may hopefully strengthen your walk in the Messiah. If you're not a Christian but you're still reading this, I hope that I may provide sound and reasonable arguments for the God of Israel. Like any human, I'm not going to be perfect in delivering what I share, so if I mess up somewhere, you can even rebuke me and tell me how I presented something wrong! Do you have a bad stigma against Christianity? Do you think that it's right or wrong of us to hate gays or certain people? Do you want to know more about God and how to become closer to Him? Do you want evidence on His existence itself? Share your thoughts! Let's come together and engage with your opinions - both good and bad, peaceful and controversial - here!Complete

Tanner and Esme
Esme Things can become clear in a second. When I found Tanner in his office with that woman, so many things became obvious. Tanner's always held himself back from me, but now, secrets and lies come tumbling out into the light. He's never loved me and he never will. I'm no longer willing to be a placeholder in his life, and I have to end our marriage. Tanner I'd been married for four years to someone I didn't believe I loved because I thought I still loved another woman. A woman I had to give up when I chose to marry my wife after I got her pregnant. Now, the other woman's back, she's divorced and is telling me it's our time to be together. Just as soon as I divorce my wife, who's pregnant with our second child. The allure of the past was impossible to resist, so I gave in, met her at my office and my wife found us just...after. So many things became clear to me even before I looked into my wife's devastated eyes. What had I done? I knew what I'd done, and now I had to prove to my wife that she's the one I want.Complete
Transcendence 5
God makes it very clear in his word, the Bible, what He expects of us and how we should live. He makes it very clear how He rewards those who choose Him, and how He punishes those who choose sin. As Israel lives and grows in the promised land they feel a need for change and when agreements are harder and harder to find they decide on appointing a king as their leader. God wanted to be their 'king', but in making this decision Israel puts the fate of their country in their leaders hands. Just as we have good and bad leaders as our president, the Israelites deal with corruption, deception, greed, and also some really great men who fear God and lead them in the right direction. Regardless, it will quite the learning experience and with sin among them they will quickly see how hard it is to follow God's leadership and a ruthless king's leadership. Through studying these Bible times we will learn what works and what doesn't when forced to follow man's rules, and guidance. We will take away some very valuable lessons and will most importantly grow closer to God as we read how He reacts to all the kings do during their reign over Israel.Complete
