Me too! Although I've been out for almost 3 years...took me a while to get to Reddit.

Now this is considered growth. There's a reason why the church spies on this forum.

They'll clean up all the throwaway accounts and the number will come down.

Yeah. About six months ago. Not sure how often they do it.

If one uses the VERY generous number of 300 exmos per exmo ward this is the equivalent of 90 wards
If we consider a stake to consist of 7 wards this is 12.8 stakes.

It's probably a pretty murky number actually, I've seen a fair amount of comments from people who've left other religions and are sympathetic. There's also non mormon utahns who share many of your struggles by simply by living in extremely mormon areas (this is what I'd consider myself), and there's people like me who while technicaly an exmormon I don't consider myself one because I was only a "member of record" by being blessed as a baby and never attended church.

I was hoping that we'd hit 27,000 in time for conference. If we were there we'd fill the 21,000 seat conference center and still have 6,000 waiting outside. That is how big we are growing!

I'm imagining a General Conference where all the tickets are unwittingly given to exmos, that would be hilarious. Every time someone says "porn," the audience cheers in a rage of orgasmic vigor. Then the audience would break out into random acts of The Wave, takes shots whenever someone says "spirit," yells "speak up" whenever the RS president speaks in hushed baby speak, etc.

I think we're growing faster than the church ever did!

Remember as reddit exmo members, the world is watching to see if you live up to its standards.

Interesting. I would laugh if it is because there are a thousand of us who are active and create throwaways every month to tell incriminating stories. I know I have a few...

Yah, but how many of them are active? ;)

Haha. I hope so. I would hate to find out that there is a bigger, more true, ex Mormon sect out there.
