People who leave the church always bad mouth it afterward in some manner. After all they have to make excuses and justification for their leaving.”

That isn’t accurate. I was LDS and went on a mission, attended the Temple in Utah very regularly, seminary graduate and went to Institute. I left pretty quietly. I told my friends and relatives in a private email that I was leaving and yeah they were sad but we still keep in touch. I have no ill will toward the LDS Church or its members and not everyone who leaves has a sinister past or some evil unforsaken sin. I left because I found a different church that I felt taught the truth.

Brandon is a good example in my view because he admits that he isn’t perfect. It is those who act perfect and fall that creates the “hypocrite” label. Brandon, by admitting that he isn’t perfect and that he is trying, is the kind of example I wish all youth had, LDS or not.

He seems the perfect Mormon gentleman offstage, even quite shy to be more accurate. On-stage just the opposite is true. It is like he is channeling Elvis, Donny Osmond, and Mick Jagger all at ounce. I have never heard of a rock star like that. Whatever… The Killers are the best value as far concerts go that I know of. Does anyone ever go to a Killers concert and not think they got their money’s worth???

Do I get cred as well?

I don’t think it is hate, it is judgment. I don’t have anything against Brandon Flowers either. We are all on a journey and well our own salvation is up to us and the Lord.
