About me

I grew up in Ogden, UT; the son of a bishop and a descendant of Willie & Martin Handcart pioneers. I attended Bonneville High School in Washington Terrace. I served as Deacon's Quorum President, Teacher's Quorum President, and Priest's Quorum President. I earned my Faith in God award, Duty to God award, and my Life Scout. Even had my Patriarchal Blessing before realizing how unhappy The Church(tm) made me feel. I escaped through rebellion and became an atheist through thought and study.

Though this site discusses mormonism, topics related to mormons, the mormon church and people who refer to themselves as unorthodox mormons, ex-mormons, post-mormons or any other form of wasmormon, it is not officially affiliated with or managed by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or even the Corporation of the Presiding Bishop. They don't want to be called mormon anymore anyways.
