“As far as what I regard as personal loss, I believe it was very light for me. I haven't felt much personal loss. I have felt tremendous personal freedom especially from a hierarchal structure…All in all the cost of leaving Mormonism has not been much compared with the compensation of knowing Christ and the freedom He allows. There's not much that I feel I left.”
–Dave Wilkins, 5th generation descendant of Wilford Woodruff, 4th president of the LDS Church. As quoted in Why We Left Mormonism: Eight People Tell Their Stories (Baker Book House, 1993.)
