Daniel Ortner grew up Jewish. But after his mom died, he abandoned faith altogether. Eventually, he says, 'I realized that there was something missing in my life, that I felt a need to connect spiritually again.' Then he found the Mormon church.

Out of the frying pan into the fire. Kind of needy and sad.

luckily his mother will not see that apostasy

what is wrong with Jesus ; 100 % track record

Yay.

Who the hell gives a rip about fluff like this? Makes me wonder if my donation should be reconsidered.

Please refer to it by the correct name, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We are not Mormons

Love this

He doesn’t need religion. He needs a psychiatrist.

Personally, I cannot resolve the boat full of Jews crossing the ocean to lay the plates which become the Book of Mormon. There is a difference between religion and social belonging which is a strong part of LDS.

Congrats, and welcome! 😄👍

This should be a private matter, not one to highlight beliefs. More NPR esoterica, Esoterics.

All the morons insulting this man and the Church make me laugh. They don't realize they've already lost

Okay🤔

I didn’t even know it was missing

Dude remember your religious knowledge. Know when teaching doesn’t match.

Gross. G-d is not an alien from another planet and we don’t die and become family gods of our own planets. Joseph Smith was abducted or just insane. Mormonism is a cult and Christians should revolt against them.

Good for him

So he picks an organization started by a con man ? Hmmm.

Learning the meaning of sacrifice and finding a set of beliefs is obviously something personal that very few people understand, thank you for sharing anyways.

Thank you for sharing this man’s faith journey.

posts a story about a Mormon and like moths to a flame, hordes of idiots on Twitter come stampeding to the comments. Good grief the stupid is strong here.

If anyone wants to know more:

*the ChurchofJesusChrist of Latter-day Saints. Great read

Atta boy.

What a KOOK

What I think of Mormons Sister wifes and Polygamy

Missing some brain cells!

Nice profile of a mentally ill person. Can't wait until society stops normalizing these cults.

I read this thinking there was gonna be a point...better off atheist

What’s the difference?

Well, at least it wasn't Scientology. youtried

Just checking to make sure that inane “cult” comments are in the lead. ✔️

Did he read the book?

Leaving an old, respectable religion for... a cult. Cool.

Once again proving that many people have abandoned common sense, reasoning, critical thinking & reality due to psyche having belief in spirituality just based on 'faith' alone. Man made burning bush fire to different burning bush fire its still a crutch.

Umm okay.

Disgusting. Why are you highlighting bigotry?

Anything to belong.

So it's a story about screwing up twice in a row?

He got the powerful underwear

LoL. Completely Insane and Lost. I’ll pray for his deliverence. MAGA

His Bipolar brain changes in the wrong direction and feels like he deserves some attention. Only in shithole America.

This cult’s second in command to their prophet preached anti-LGBTQ hate speech at an American university in 2019 (see link); I cannot believe NPR is treating them like an everyday normal religion. Please don’t normalize hate, !!

Whatever floats his boat......

Why is this a news story? Who cares?

How in the hell is this news? This is not to be celebrated. It does so much harm to so many. I absolutely escaped a cult. Obey men. Shame everyone who is not a white hetero male. Condition women for total manipulation. RecoveringMormon

He should have listened to his mother.🖤

I’m sure working towards denying LGBT rights will fill that hole.

He joined that cult because it was the first thing he found after leaving the beliefs he was taught to have . Some people just need that support, logic be damned.

Where are the mystical gold plates?

Wrong turn, Dan.

The blind leading the blind.

Missouri is the Garden of Eden is a deal breaker for me.

Good luck with all that 'baptizing' of your relatives. Even the dead ones. 😳

'I realized that there was something missing in my life' If you joined the Mormons presumably that something is half a dozen plain looking wives.
