1. It's football season. Why fall asleep in a three hour church meeting when you can fall asleep yelling at your TV, drinking a beer?
2. HBO has some good series on Sunday nights, including content unsuitable for more sensitive viewers.
3. Nothing says fall like a nice cup of hot cocoa -- with some cointreau or baileys added for grownups.
4. Organ music avoidance.I.Hate. It.
5. Grocery shopping on Sunday mornings = no crowds!

What are some of your reasons?

the best thing about being an exmo is having meetups with other exmos.

ONe thing is that I get to live a bullshit free life.

I can do whatever the hell I want , think what I want , say

what I want. Thats golden.

The organ music... oh yeah.... I hate and detest organ music.

I'm sure I'll think of 103 more reasons later but you get the

gist.

A bullshit-free life is impossible for those of us who golf. But golf bullshit and mormon bullshit... it's like bacon compared to wilted lettuce.

On Sunday I almost have the greenbelt to myself.
The stores are not crowded on Sunday.
I can drink alcohol if I want.
I can wear comfortable underwear.
I don't feel obligated to give my money to a cult.
I can read whatever the hell I want and think it through without being told what to believe.
Authenticity is a big one.
I decide what is right and wrong.

I don't have to figure out why the people I respect are making stupid decisions, and face up to realizing they are wrong, and that I need to flee and rebuild my life.

Trying to resist my conscience from blurting out, "It's a FRAUD!" In response to hearing PRetend PRofits claiming, "The BoM is either true, or its a fraud."

Watching on social media as the Mormon Cult destroys itself!

Priceless!

I agree with that, watching the backlash against the cult on social media.

The other reasons I'm glad I'm an exmo:
1.Coffee
2.Sleeping in on Sundays if I want
3.No dresses or skirts unless it's something like a wedding or other relatively formal occasion
4.Picking out comfortable underwear in whatever color I feel like wearing for the day. That goes for bras as well.
