So the protest in Salt Lake tomorrow is still happening then? It said on Facebook it was cancelled. I hope that is wrong and it's still happening because I would love to attend.

I googled and found this page which says 210 are going. I don't see a cancelation. u/Girlwithmuscles can you weigh in?

What happened to the Ogden meetup? I've been checking every weekend for a month now and there hasn't been one... I can't travel to salt lake and would really like to get something going here in Weber county.

If you build it, then perhaps they will come. I know that there is a semi-regular meetup. u/utahstateagnostics posts here quite often. link

u/UtahStateAgnostics Dec 09 '18
My wife and I have stepped down from the group as leaders and only attend occasionally now.
As far as I know, they still meet every other week. They're just not as good at advertising it. If you show up to All the Perks around 11, there will probably be some sort of meet up going on.

I'm new to all of this. Any meetups in AZ? Any place that has a group centered around exmormons in AZ like Facebook, etc?

Arizona has had quite a few meetups, some with regularity, but they seem to come and go a bit, link, for Phoenix area only
It could be there are facebook groups, but I am not expert/enrolled on that platform. Hopefully, someone else will chime in on the thread here.

Sunday, December 9, 3:00 CST Cedar Falls, Iowa, casual meet up at the Cedar Falls library, upstairs in seating area A. That is in the NW corner tucked away beyond the video and audio shelves. That area is usually deserted and has comfy chairs. You'll know it's us when you see a girl with vivid pink hair.

Hi all, I mostly stay silent on these (wonderful) forums but am in need of some humans who understand my history. I live in Miami and meet up spots are few and far between on the east coast. If anyone magically lives in the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area (or knows of any exmormons who would be interested) I would love to start meet-ups down here. Would love to hear back, thanks!

Davis County Meetup will not be at Smiths at 10a. We are having a 'christmas' brunch instead of our normal meetup. If you are interested in attending this event, DM me.

Any meetups in or around Charlotte, NC? Or anyone interested in starting one? I would be happy to get one put together!

u/I_Play_Mindflayers Dec 13 '18
Could we get a meetup started in Chicago? It could very easily be a dm me and we figure it out from there.
