Have you heard this before from ex-members? I have heard this and wondered why they would be happy. I wondered if this is something that I should think about, but whether I ponder this or not, the fact remains that Mormon’s will face this claim from ex-members at least once in their life.
Happiness is a relative term. Simply look at some people in diverse places in life. A labourer, a white collar worker, an athlete and so on. Asking each of them if they would be happy in the life style of others and if things are going well for them, then the usual answer is “No”. Happiness is therefore a relative term that is applied by personal preferences, desires, ideas and state of mind. Still, this does not fully explain the claim by some ex-members that they are “happier” not being a Mormon.
