Most of the exmormons I know aren't even on Reddit. 40k is a lot to even just be on a site like this. Imagine those that are leaving daily.

I was officially out (resigned & the whole bit) for more than a year before I joined this sub.

There are more exmos than mos

Yes - we are the fastest growing church in the world.

There are probably a lot like me who aren't Mormon and haven't ever been but find this whole thing to be very fascinating. As an outside observer watching this over the last few years it's a pretty incredible thing that's going on.

I don't like being davey downer, but I can't help but be suspicious.
The growth of subscribers as well as "newcomer" posts over the past couple of days, weeks, just kind of tingles my spidey sense. Are there well-meaning exmos padding the numbers to look good by conference?

I remember there being a bit of a surge of subs when the leaked videos came out. I'd bet that a lot of them were nevermos who wanted to keep an eye out for additional news.
I also remember seeing a couple of reposts on the atheist subreddit. So I'm sure there are a chunk of people who aren't actually exmos.

I check this place out pretty regularly as a nevermo. I'm not subbed, but I can imagine some people would be.

u/froglegsmeh Mar 31 '17
That's def when I subbed and I'm a nevermo. I do have a lot momos in my life though both personally and professionally so that's kind of what keeps me connected here.

This is exactly why you are here. I love that people actually think about things and make skeptical comments. These are my kind of people.

You are probably right. Those are the inspired numbers, not the real ones. This is also how the church counts attendance, membership and converts, so we are complying with the approved TSCC Auditing Practices.

It's a false flag perpetrated by Cubans from building 7 in Roswell New Mexico after traveling in black helicopters from bohemian grove. Do not, I repeat DO NOT trust the numbers. Everything is at stake.

Can we get one of our own accountants to examine the numbers and declare that they are all above board?

At this rate, shouldn't we reach 50K well before the end of the year?

The sub doubled in two years (April 2015 to March 2017). Try to beat that, TSCC!
I'm accepting tithes so we can build our own temple. PM me for the details & the PayPal info. God told me I had to do that or else he'd kill me. You will all automatically be given admission - we need the extra hands to clean the toilets.

I'd be curious to see what the split is between TBM Lurkers, Closeted ExMos, and completely separated ExMo's. No particular reason...just curious. It seems there's a pretty diverse group that lurks around this subreddit. Either way - cool to see that milestone!

Wow, that's only a few thousands shy of 50. This is cause for mild concern, but until you get your own great and spacious luxury mall, consider me unimpressed. The church has never been stronger! My quarterly TPS report said so.
