finally out replied to Tyler Jones's discussion More Difficult to Leave..."Hey Tyler,
Well Done, Im so happy and PROUD that you took that leap of faith. God doesnt care if your GAY/STRAIGHT/BI or whatever other labels people want to put on all of us. The church is a FUCKED up prision that wants to control us, and…"

finally out replied to Joe's discussion Mormon apostle Packer: End isn’t near -"im confused,
I was always taught growing up in the church (CULT) that God was perfect and was unchanging, so first he gives the BLACKS the Priesthood. Now after 30 years of being told that the end is at our doorstep and that we need to prepare, now…"
finally out commented on Jeannie's blog post Reflections of my mission president"I think Mission Presidents only want Baptisms so it makes them look good, it helps them in their lives after the mission, in the hopes they make it to the big house and become a GA or something. The church dont really care about people, only…"
finally out replied to MikeUtah's discussion Frequently asked question: Why are Mormons so weird?"Because Mormons are FUCKED in the head, and they dont think their SHIT stinks, simple as that."
finally out commented on MikeUtah's blog post Sexual Repression, Emotional Immaturity and Mental Stagnation in Mormon Marriages"Hey Micah well said, this is great. Everyword you have said is correct, sadly there are many of us that have fallen into the same trap, mission,marriage in the temple then kids all within a year. We need to get the word out there to save more…"
finally out replied to Tracy Starr's discussion Against the church but small kids still go with my parents in the group ex-Mormon Parenting"Hi Tracey,
Normally this would be an easy question to answer, but with your sanity hanging in the balance it is a little hard. There were many reasons why we left the church 18 months ago, but one of the big ones was that our daughters were getting…"

ex-Mormon Parenting
Parenting after Mormonism presents both unique challenges and opportunities. Our default upbringing may no longer match how we want to raise our kids. Supporting and learning from each other we can rise to the challenge.See More

- My Story:
- second generation mormon, so didnt know any better. My whole life i could never get my head around that the mormon church was the only true church on earth, that GOD was going to save 2% of the population, known as MORMONS, yea right. Was a good boy and went on a mission at 19, got married in the Temple and yes had a family and had many callings throughtout my TBM years. Then one day both my wife an I decided that we needed to wake up and smell the coffee, and we have never looked back or been happier.In January 2010 we decided that we had had enough brain wasing and we decided that enough was enough and we left with our children. we have lost some friends, but we expected that, we still have contact with some friends and they are always asking if we are happy, i think they are hoping that we are misrable or something so we will go back to church, i always have pleasure in saying that we have never been happier, it is priceless to see the reaction on their faces when i say that. this has been the best decission that our family has ever made, and we will never look back.

Rachel McSweeney is her name. She's had bouts of inactivity herself, so I'm not sure how well she's known in the church community over there. But there are a few other McSweeney's in that neck of the woods (my dad's from there), so if you know any other McSweeney's, that's probably my lot.

My wife is going back and forth on the whole believing thing.
I threw away all my Jesus Jammies last week. It felt great! How could I have been duped my entire life! I am in Utah so it is really tough with the neighbors continually trying to save me....

MikeUtah said… No worries Brett. I am not aware of any groups that meet in person, but here on LAM there is a group for those former Mormons living in Australia and New Zeeland called "Down Under Doubters": http://www.lifeaftermormonism.net/group/downunderdoubters Try joining this group and posting your whereabouts and whether anyone is near you or interested in forming a meetup group.
I've been out for just over 3 years and was fortunate to have my family (wife/kids) leave with me. Feel free to ask any other questions you may have.

You love movies, so I saw "The Trip" this weekend. British film. I prefer British and Irish films because you don't get the fake teeth and boobs, but this was a silly little flick that was done well and quite funny. Two blokes taking a road trip through English country side that was very beautiful. I haven't been to England in 41 years, and it brought back some memories.
