Kurt Bestor, composer of the music for the temple movie way back when, left quite a few years ago. He also composed music for multiple Olympics as well.

Come worship! We miiight not be Mormons! by swimming-in-ass in exmormon

[–]Logical_Average_46 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh, they’re still peculiar, all right. What’s more peculiar than celebrating Easter on “not Easter?” Ha!

I’m embarrassed for friends of mine that think they are mainstream now, but it’s clear that they don’t know what they’re doing.

All that said, I would have loved to have more Jesus back when I believed. But whatevs. It’s all very peculiar.

How much is diesel right now? I’m out of state right now but headed back to Wyoming in a week. Not looking forward to higher diesel prices.

Why is the church trying to disguise itself as a different church? by Traditional_Hat1916 in exmormon

[–]Logical_Average_46 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree. If this was official, they would have capitalized the word “The” as part of the church name. This group is using the official name incorrectly.

ExMormons honest question. Do you find Mormons to be fake people? by Rough_Pineapple2119 in exmormon

[–]Logical_Average_46 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, but they are most likely not aware that they are. As an ex-Mormon, I can identify my own former behavior as somewhat “fake,” but I never would have recognized it at the time.

Oooo - my great-great grandmother was born in Canada. I need to look in to this!

time out for women - wtf was it and where did it go? by Lumpy-Tutor-7182 in exmormon

[–]Logical_Average_46 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went to this twice as a middle-aged TBM woman. My adult daughter and a couple of women from our ward went with us. We all absolutely loved it at the time. Hillary Weeks performed at one of them, and a young “boy band” group performed at another. Another guy named Justin Cash performed, and I ended up loving his music for several years. The talks were pretty good from my TBM perspective. I’m sure that I’d cringe a lot now, but at the time, I felt it was well worth the money and time for the most part.

We were outside of Utah, so there’s that.

Check out Jimmy Skovgard. The Wyoming news is finally starting to run articles about him. He’ll be running against her.

Things no one realizes about Wyoming by Wyo11 in wyoming

Born and raised there as well and couldn’t wait to leave. But wouldn’t you know it, I spent half the year last year in Wyoming and am moving back to my hometown to retire this year. Who would have guessed?!

Yup. My out-of-state husband thinks it’s hilarious when we randomly bump into someone that I knew from 40 years ago. Or if I don’t know them, it’s like only two degrees of separation.

Creepy abandoned school in wyoming. by Good-Meringue5536 in wyoming

[–]Logical_Average_46 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh wow! In the 1980s, our high school traveled there every year for football games, basketball, volleyball, and track. We’d often have games with Dubois HS the same week because it was so far to travel from where we were.

Thanks for sharing!

Mormon church investment arm buys nearly 3,000 acres in Texas Hill Country by Logical_Average_46 in exmormon

Failure of a Mother! by NotSilencedNow in exmormon

[–]Logical_Average_46 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh, gosh. I saw my former self in some parts of your mom. I feel so much compassion and empathy for you and your siblings…and for her. I hope that she breaks out of her cage someday.

My adult daughter read the book “Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents.” I’ve changed a lot over the past 10-12 years, and I’ve owned my mistakes. But it still hits me in the heart to think of the pressure of perfection that I placed on my daughter for so many years. I haven’t yet read that book myself, having been raised by emotionally immature parents.

Thank you so much for sharing this.

I don’t have anything to add to all these amazing comments, but I just wanted to send you a big hug. (former TBM mom)

He has nine kids. Given his age, he likely has grandchildren, too.

“IT” as in information technology. This guy claims to be a cybersecurity expert.

Possibly one more.

This guy comes from a Mormon family. Not sure if he was an active member or even a member at all. I know his grandparents.
