Hi, my name is Robert, and I’m an ex-Mormon.

Chino Blanco, August 14, 2010August 15, 2010

You knew it was coming, and now it’s here’s: the first exmo response to the LDS mormon.org ad campaign.

“Hi, my name is Robert, and I’m an ex-Mormon.”

Domo arigato, Mister Ex-Mo-Roberto!

From baptism to resignation or excommunication

January 23, 2008

Now that I’ve gathered all of Outer Blogness (that I could find anyway), and updated the blogroll here accordingly, I’d like to suggest an assignment. This is inspired Wry Catcher’s hilarious post about her baptism and why she hasn’t resigned (she was baptized by two different religions and figures they…

The Final post from my notes: Spaulding Rigdon Timeline and details

October 16, 2013

6 years in the making, and crosslinking to almost every other timeline I’ve made, this post comprises everything I have found that ties together Smith, Rigdon and Spaulding.  It includes quotes by Oliver Cowdery’s partner claiming he confessed to the Spaulding-Rigdon theory, as well as preachers saying that they saw…

Catching Up

September 12, 2007September 12, 2007

(Note: I wrote this shortly after leaving and submitted it to Sunstone. They rejected it as it wasn’t supportive of their new mission – to keep people in, even if they don’t want to be in – arghh! Anyway, it’s still pretty good.) Catching Up Leaving Mormonism has been the…

    So well done. I’m a bit in love with that guy now. 🙂

    Fantastic!!

    I should get my act together and make one of those, too. I’ll be visiting my family next week, and I know they have videocameras…

    That’d be a hoot, chanson. You’re destined for stardom.

    That is wonderful! The exMo stereotype is every bit as pernicious as the Mormon stereotype. How great would it be if others could realize that we’re just people!

    Before the year’s out, I think we should all commit to contributing an ad. At the very least, I’m already planning to run one of those contests I’m so fond of and hand out an award. That said, Robert’s gonna be tough to beat.

    By the way, please take a second and subscribe to the YouTube channel that’s hosting these ads.

    Very nice!

    I believe all exmo’s can remember good experiences that occurred when we were members. I am so very grateful I began really thinking about my concerns with TSCC. I always knew deep down inside, many things simply weren’t “true” as they claimed. This process opened the door to such a better life. Honestly, I had no idea life could really so incredibly good, peaceful, and fulfilling without TSCC. But hey, it is! And, that’s my testimony. Woo hoo! 🙂

    I definitely liked how he wasn’t all, “raaghg raaaggh raaagh” — it was very nostalgic. but at the end, the integrity wasn’t there for him.

    Very well done ad. But does Robert really do all those active things? Tell him to stop it. He’s making the rest of us look bad!

    Who knew Powder was an exmo?! This just makes the whole lot of you (mormons and exmormons) seem even stranger.

    Nice to meet you, too, Slappy.

    Watch John Dehlin tell ABC News:

    There’s a difference between what the prophets teach us and what this PR campaign is holding up.

    Wow. Go, John.

    Chino, if you run a contest, I’ll create an ad.

  18. Chino Blanco says:
    August 22, 2010 at 7:56 pm

    ProfXM: Anyone interested in creating an ad is invited to consider this offer of help over at this thread:

    The following is a message from the creator of the “I’m Robert, and I’m an exmormon” ad. He wishes to remain anonymous, but will monitor responses to this post and may PM those who respond.

    I am excited about the response to my first video “Hi, I’m Robert, and I’m an ex Mormon” and I want to ride on that success and make more- the only problem is I need people willing to be in the videos! I have recently found someone who may want to sponsor my video projects which will allow me to travel- which means I might be able to film anywhere in the US or Canada if things go as planned.

    Anyone up for being the next “Hi I’m an ex Mormon”?

    Running the contest will be the easy part (all we have to do is set up a PollDaddy poll just like chanson did for our previous contests).

    Warning: The title is the only thing remotely funny about this latest spoof. I’m just dropping the link here for future reference: Hi, I’m Nephi Christianson. I am a heroin addict and I’m a Mormon.
