Wow, never ventured over here to this corner of the site, but I was actually raised Mormon, too.
I don't know if this is the place to disclose this, but I don't really practice anymore for reasons which would probably not be supportive to mention here.
I do take pride in my heritage however, as the two of you do. Actually, I'm a direct descendent of Hyrum Smith. My grandfather always attended the Smith family reunions in Salt Lake City.
Last year, my wife and I (both agnostic now), even took a trip to upstate New York to see the Hill of Cumorah pageant and all the attractions. Fun stuff.
I have (mostly) pleasant memories of Mormonism.
Respectfully,
Matt
