About Me

I created this profile because I wanted to have a place where former Mormons could come together and find support, friendship, knowledge, and a place to vent regarding the Mormon church and their experiences within it.THIS IS NOT A PLACE TO BASH OR ALLOW MORMONS TO IGNORANTLY ARGUE WITH US AND TRY TO BELITTLE US IN ORDER TO FEEL BETTER ABOUT THEMSELVES!!! I WILL NOT APPROVE YOU AS A FRIEND IF YOU ARE NOT A FORMER MORMON OR A FRIEND HELPING MORMONS LEARN THE TRUTH ABOUT THEIR CHURCH!!If you are still "in the closet" regarding Mormonism, please let me know, and I will make sure to not comment you on your page or put you in our top friends list. I encourage you to speak up and speak out regarding the Mormon religion and your experiences both in and out of it. Please contribute to this page and help others who may be struggling to know they are not alone!Please-NO preaching other religions, I realize religion in general will be brought up. But please-let's discuss only personal experiences, real church history, etc.If you want to blog, send it to me and I will blog it. I hope to forge new friendships, find solace through the great people here, and create good discussions through the comments here-please leave comments pertinent to your former Mormon experience and any current issues you may be experiencing! Let's all take pride in being Mo-No-Mo!***One last thing, if for some reason I deny you as a friend and you really are ex-lds, please just write me a quick note! I am trying to weed out the generic friend requests, and I may accidently miss someone who really wants to be an XLDS friend-thanks!You are 0% Mormon

YOU ARE THE DEVIL!!! Well not really, but you are in Utah, and to every faithful 10-kid LDS family there. You have probably never lived in Utah, or you're an Ex-Mo, living it up.

offenses and moral issues
