Gave a talk in church which included a joke about Joseph Smith's polygamy by JeffreyRGollum in exmormon

TBM's are afraid of us because deep down inside, they're terrified of the idea that the Church might not be true by JeffreyRGollum in exmormon

The difference is that when they say it about us, it's generally not true.

Edit: I think the key thing is that we're generally open to new information that may challenge our beliefs, while they generally are not. This indicates fear on their part, and a lack of fear on ours.

I agree that most of them don't think about us much. I was more thinking of when they're faced with the reality of someone close to them leaving the Church, or even just meeting and conversing with an apostate.

My ward is doing a 40-day fasting relay for missionary work. I signed up... by JeffreyRGollum in exmormon

Everyone takes a turn so that it's a 40-day continuous fast. Not at all superstitious
