You may be just another "non-correlated Mormon." The trend is on.

I've heard this term recently and wonder if there are less than 6 degrees of separation between us.....

But it's a cute and descriptive term. It's a term that indicates, "Yeah, I'm Mormon, and I even believe some of he stuff. But ain't no one telling me I have to attend the ward led by my prick bishop. I'm going to the one the meets at 1pm where my buddies are."

Help me out, here: How is that not an oxymoron?

Mormon only while a minor in captivity.

On my FB profile I answered the religion question with,
"I refuse to answer on the grounds that I just don't know the answer"

and can resist answering the phone and fdoor you could be
mormon free.

aren't you tired of other people putting labels and barcodes on you?

why do you need yet another label for yourself?


why do you want to create yet another identity out of it?


why can't you just be **you**?

we simply can not describe ourselves without using some sort of labels. Labels are not only useful they are mandatory for us to communicate. To try to reject labels by labeling ourselves as just "I" or "me" doesn't work because saying I am "just me" is a label in an of itself.

true. yes, looking at it from that perspective *you* is also another label.


what i meant was that there's no need to add more custom labels or mental projections that may hinder your true potential. meaning, do not personify or create an identity from something as hurtful as mormonism.

"i am an ex-mormon" (guilty as charged; i used that term before to label myself) sort of makes me remember my foolish past and in a way i was not letting go of it.

now a days i personally don't find the need to wear the 'mormon' scarlet letter anymore. i learned from my mistakes and any attempt to try to wear it again does not really let me look at the potential to reach something more noble and beautiful.

any reminders of mormonism are sort of painful. really. divorce, family splitting, loss of friends...


does it make sense?

I know the feeling--I'll sometimes refer to myself as "former mormon" or "fake mormon," but at the same time, I just want to forget I was ever part of this at all. Kinda hard when I have a kid with a mormon-y name, though.

The Church has been such a big part of my life it is hard for me to describe myself correctly without using the term Mormon somehow. Atheist Mormon? Disillusioned Mormon? Unbelieving Mormon?

The description I like the best though when asked if I am a Mormon is to say; I am a "Recovering Mormon" I think that communicates it the best. I am mostly over it, but it will continue to affect me for the rest of my life. I will always be trying to overcome some of the effects of being a TBM for nearly 50 years.

Fragrance Free, Allergen Free, Pesticide Free and now Mormon Free.

At the end of the day, I am just me, nothing more. It's good when you get there. The rest is just history.

I AM NOT A MORMON, I AM A FREE MAN!!!!

(with apologies to Patrick McGoohan, and guessing that you're male)

I like it.

I sometimes think I am still a mormon, or a disillusioned mormon, maybe a deconverted mormon, I even wonder if I am a spy mormon or a hypocritical mormon since I still attend. One day I'll be an UNmormon.

I think Mormon-Free


as in caffiene-free

I am free.

I like oxymormon to describe a person who swears it's true but doesn't live it one bit.
