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!

LDS deconversion is a process

April 7, 2009October 20, 2010

I was reading this news article the other day, and it just seemed so obvious. It was a study that found that LDS conversion is a process. What made it seem so obvious to me was that as the article went on, it seemed clear that the writer was speaking…

What is/was your relationship with Mormonism?

December 28, 2009

This is a question I just had for everyone…because if there’s one thing I’ve learned from all this blogging, it’s that people have such widely differing relationships with Mormonism. I’ve taken for granted that people are looking for the same “things” from it as I was/am, but that is not…

Hi, my name is Michelle and Im an ExMormon.

Having grown up in the Caribbean I remember hearing the wonderful stories about the temple. I was excited when I went to the temple for the first time to take out my endowments. This is where it all started. As I attended the temple over the following years, more things…

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
