I don't think that she wrote all these, or made the videos herself. I could be wrong, but I think there are people helping her behind the scenes (not that there is anything wrong with that).
Anyway, I like these videos, and wanted to share them.

WindySydney began as an online journal detailing my exit from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Since leaving the Mormon Church, I have come to the conclusion that religion does more harm than good. I have also become an atheist, looking for logic and reason instead of accepting things on faith.
I also blog about things going on in my life. I am learning photography, I have a severe addiction to diet coke, I am a proud vegetarian, and I have two of the cutest cats in the world. Life is officially an adventure without the magical fairy-tale ending. I plan on enjoying it.

Hi Andee,
I love, love, love this girl! She is smart and well spoken and really seems to have her $#$@! together.
Anway, I have a friend who is a TBM (the one who initially got me started on my investigation with the church) and I had thought that she would be open minded enough to watch them and give me her thoughts/opinions. I thought this because when I decided not to become a member of the church (praise the Lord for my early research which saved me a lifetime of hurt) she really was supportive and understood that my decision only applied to me and was not a judgement of her.
But when I asked her to watch these videos, she became extremely upset and refused. I asked her why she was so upset and she said that she didn't appreciate my attempts to shake her faith. I said that wasn't what I was trying to do at all. I just wanted her to watch them so we could have a discussion about them. I wasn't trying to deconvert her (although I secretly would love to). I said to her that if her faith was so strong and was based on true and honest information, than nothing she heard or read should be able to shake her. She shouldn't be afraid to see anything that she may determine to be untruthful or incorrect because she would be able to withstand it.
Ultimately she refused to continue the conversation and I was just dumbfounded. I had always thought she was open minded (even when it came to the church) but now I realize that she is just as much an innocent pawn in the deception of the church as so many other millions of good hearted people are and it just kills me to see it.
One other thing I realized was that TBM's are only willing to discuss church issues and controversies when they think you still may be on the road to becoming a member. But once you have said you are not interested because of the things you have found out about the church, suddenly they no longer want to discuss the church with you at all! Hmmm, wonder why that is?

Isn't she pretty too?!
I love these video's too. Talk about a very intelligent young person!
She made me think more than some adults I know.
Michelle, it's true they are only interested in discussing mormonism with those who know nothing about it because those who do know something KNOW it isn't true and can prove it.
Only the weak and innocent minds are wanted for the LDS Cult.
