Have you or anyone you know ever done this? Another poster mentioned using all the email addresses he has to send an email to everyone telling them the truth and his reasons for disaffection.

Its easy to dismiss some random literature or websites as "anti-Mormon" but it seems it might rock the boat if there was a member in the ward/stake that people know personally, especially if they are well respected.

Any stories about someone doing this? Any RFM posters reported this happening somewhere? What was the reaction? Did it help draw out a few people? Plant some seeds? Some are better than none...

That would be cool.

I've never seen it done. I think there are a lot of mormons out there that would be surprised to find out about the exmo community. I think they'd be surprised to find that they're asking themselves the same questions we did before we left. Most mormons have no clue there's an online support system for them where they can discuss anything they want to. They sit in silence, thinking they're the only one.

I was present at Temple Square in 1968 during fall conference when several hundred fliers were passed out regarding the falsity of The Book of Abraham.

Most of the Mo-bots threw them in the trash as they were instructed to do. Had they taken the time to read the information, they may have saved themselves years of grief and thousands of dollars in tithing.

The closest I came to this was against an MLM pitch that was mass emailed to a ward/stake list from a newly appointed bishopric counselor in an island ward. It made me enemies of course. I later saw the guy while turning at a street intersection gnashing his teeth in a snarl at me. Only one guy (a non-islander) told me back then that he was proud of my email reply. But in island cult-ure you're supposed to keep quiet about both seniority and church leader discrepancies.

The direct lds.org links.

I always thought it would be a good idea if we could collect as many ward email lists as we possibly could from exmos, NOMs, etc and do a mass email on a given day with the truth about some topics like BOA etc. and see what fruit this would bring forth.

We did. We were the subject of so much gossip, that when we left the church, we emailed the entire ward, the stake leadership, and every bishopric in the stake.

Someone in my ward has been emailing the stake directory every week, with links to the essays and mormon stories.

Really? Wow. Tell me more. What have the members been saying?

That's interesting. Has there been a backlash that you know of?

On our stake Facebook page someone called out a married (separated) lady for dating a guy that the poster was infatuated with. That's all I got. :-)
