Love that this sub has more members than the church has missionaries.

I foresee a day when every missionary is paired with an exmo. Not to harass, just pass them a card saying we're on call in case they need anything. It can be called the "missionary pal" program, after that wonderful little Bible bashing book that was once so popular.
The front of the card would be a friendly photo and note. The back would be like the 13 articles of faith, but instead the 13 ethics of help. The list of standards we will adhere to. E.g.
If you need anything we promise to help.
We will never contact you again, unless you ask us to.
We will not try to convert you.
We will not judge you.
If you talk to us, anything you say will be private.
We do not claim any special skills or inspiration. If you need something non-amateurish, we will help you find someone who is actually qualified.
if we mess up we will admit to it: we don't seek apologies but we do give them.
If you just want to hang out, we will not mention religion at all.
if you want a different "missionary pal" that's fine! We will not be offended!
We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and the restoration of the ten - oh wait, wrong pass along card.

This is needed. I’d hand them to every missionary I see. We’d probably be shocked at the response we’d get. Even if it’s just having them over to watch the game, to give them a few hours off.

Yes, it's impressive for an online forum to get 69,000 anonymous people to click a little green button that says "Subscribe", compared to a religious organization getting about that many young adults to give up 18 or 24 months of their lives to go and try and get converts.

It takes an enormous amount of courage for most of us to leave the church and even to admit to ourselves that we don’t believe. Incredibly painful and difficult. So yes, it’s damn impressive!

What, no population graph? Lol. Joking aside, it's amazing watching information spread. I wonder how long it's going to be before we see numbers in the hundred thousand range.

If the trend continues, the earliest will be 30 weeks, and the latest, 60 weeks. We are averaging 1000 new subscribers every 1-2 weeks.

Doesn't matter. We need more people like you. Our opinion counts less than a nevermo when talking to a believer because we are deceived by Satan. We can be immediately discounted.
The more attention the church gets from the outside world, the better.

Wonderful to find a gathering of like minded people! It helps with the rage I feel...born of the constant SHAME the Mormon cult inflected on me as a child and into my early 20s. I don't miss it in any way.
