I’ve just written a review (here) of Steven H. Lee’s compelling memoir Falling into Life. One thing I didn’t mention in the review — but one of the most fascinating aspects of it — is that it represents perhaps the most complete two-sided portrait of an LDS mixed-orientation-marriage that exists….

OK, who all is going to the Sunstone Symposium this year?
Of course we can read the nearly final program, but — if you’re presenting — please feel free to tell us a few enticing words about your presentation. Note: Mr. Deity will be there!! (Also, feel free to tell me what you think of the ad on page 40. 😉…
Sunday in Outer Blogness: Hard Facts Edition!
Wow, everybody is talking about this new study that suggests that misinformed people rarely change their minds when presented with the facts — and often become even more attached to their beliefs. Why are former Mormons so interested in this topic? What’s the connection? Oh, yeah, this. This whole topic…
Sunday in Outer Blogness: World Cup Edition!
That’s my excuse for getting this done so late today — along with another billion people, we had some important watching-the-world-cup-final to do at our house. It was very exciting, especially after it went into extra innings and everything. (And Andrew thought one needs an ulterior motive to post about…
Sunday in Outer Blogness: Independence Day Edition!
Yes, Britta has declared her independence from the CoJCoL-dS! I found her blog through her Irreligiosophy interview — along with a couple other exmo blogs that I hope everyone will welcome to the Outer Blogness community! Andrew S has written an interesting series comparing this community to other blog communities….
Sunday in Outer Blogness: Scenes from Church and Life Edition!
This past fortnight Outer Blogness has been chock-full of personal narratives, especially about how each person’s relationship with the church has evolved! (OK, there were also some posts about the environmental catastrophe that is still ongoing — but for today, let’s stick with more cheerful topics.) Naturally, people who stopped…
Reviews of “8” are rolling in!
Now that 8: The Mormon Proposition has hit the theaters, the reviews and responses are hitting the Internet! Some found it too heavy-handed, and urge you to think twice about taking your kids. However, the gril from “ask a Mormon girl” found it quite accurate. And another friend on Religion…
“These beautifully flawed vessels”: The Conclusion of ExMormon!
I love to joke around. I’ve got the perfect joke for just this occasion. It’s an oldie, so stop Me if you’ve heard it: Way back when Jesus and I were creating the world, I turned to Him and said “Hey Jesus, let’s create a really gorgeous mountainous region, with…
Just got back from euro-exmo Paris weekend!
Remember how the BYU art museum banned Rodin’s “The Kiss” and other nudes? Well, naturally, the exmo ladies of Europe had no choice but to go to Paris to see them! (Plus, of course, Paris is a lot closer… 😉 )
The Story behind the Story of ExMormon!
The final chapter of ExMormon will be posted here in less than a week! Here‘s the tale of where this tale came from! 😀
