Something from my past to deal with

You might consider publishing your story here, on your personal page, and then granting this free-grace group permission to publish it, so long as they include the the text unchanged, and give credit (bjw@lds.et). So often, I wish I could print stuff off the internet, and give it to inmates to study, but the site owners do not explicitly grant distribution rights (non-profit), so I can't. I'm always pleased when the copyright section says, "Permission is granted to publish or distribute, so long as full-credit is given, the content is unchanged, and there is no charge for the material."

Why can't you publish your story under a pseudo name and consult with Lawyers prior to publishing it?
You could always make the claim you signed it under duress? You could use the proceeds then however you choose.

Thanks to everyone that has posted on here about this. After reading these posts I think I have decided to consult with my bishop and maybe if there is a lawyer in the ward I might give him a copy of the manuscript and ask him what I need to look out for.

I agree that the truth needs to be told so people can be informed and free to choose for themselves, without basing that choice on deception.

I have not read all of the replies but my first response would be are we not all Heavenly Father's children. The christian, the muslam, the jew and even the athiest?

Just because someone is not a member of His Church does not mean He does not care about them and love them any less than He does any one else.

And who knows, maybe the ones you help get out or never get caught will take a look at your life a little deeper and find out more about Heavenly Father any ways. It could be a very good missionary opportunity at best and at least you could save some precous soul the horror it sounds like you endured.

We are given our experiences in this life to overcome them and to use that experience to help others, not just members but all of God's children.

If you need further guidance on making that decision take it to Heavenly Father and ask Him.

I say that if you cold save even one person from what you went through it is worth jsut because its not LDS dosen't mean they arn't good.
