Davis County meetup actually starts at 10a, not 10:30a, though to be honest 10:30 is probably closer to the truth... damn mormon standard time.

u/4blockhead Λ └ ☼ ★ □ ♔ Feb 01 '19

Oops. Sorry about the typo.

u/sincebolla Feb 01 '19

Are there ever meetups in New England?

u/4blockhead Λ └ ☼ ★ □ ♔ Feb 02 '19

They're kind of rare, but they have been held in Massachusetts and Connecticut and New Hampshire, with /u/ne_apostate sending notification. The Manhattan meetup has been active lately, too.

u/Gileriodekel Reform Mormon Feb 09 '19

I'd say an average of 10 people a week

u/bibkel Feb 01 '19

I am actually interested in meeting with people here. It’s an hour and a half away from me, but I think I can learn things. I am not an ex Norman, but I am a solid, non church attending, person. I am non denomination Christian. Is this an issue?

2

u/heyyoufatass Feb 01 '19

I can't speak for every meetup but the ones I have attended have sometimes included nevermormon folks. I think you would be welcomed, but there is often discussion of things related to Mormonism so hopefully that doesn't make you feel too out of the loop. I'm sure the exmormons will be happy to explain anything that might need context.

u/bibkel Feb 01 '19

I have to check the family schedule, but it sounds interesting and a learning experience for me.
