John Larsen leaves Mormonism (again)

Mormon Expression was an invaluable resource in my faith transition, and I can’t thank John enough for validating the experience of dealing with being inside such an insane religion. It made dealing with Mormons at church every week bearable, knowing I wasn’t suffering alone.

I’m happy to see him step away again. No one needs to wallow in Mormonism once they’ve graduated to the place most of humanity is at - blissfully unaware of the religion’s existence.

Why did he go back in the first place?

It has been quite a ride with John. I haven't been very enthused about him for some time, but I know a lot of people benefitted from his contributions. He and I clashed one day on Facebook, and I decided I had had enough of interacting with him. Not that this matters. He was an important voice for many people, and on his best days he could be a really cool guy. Some of his podcast episodes were among the best out there. I wish him well, and I really sympathize with Mormon fatigue.

This is what he does. He's said he's done with it a couple of times already and left, with the declaration that this is it! He always comes back.

See you next time, John Larsen.

Support John & Dabbler Farm!
Would you like to thank John and support his efforts on a his sustainable farm? Click on the link to open the Amazon shopping page where you can buy tools, materials, and supplies for the farm!
https://johnlarsen.org/

I guess he thinks he can get people to donate more money to his farming hobby than he could for his Mormon hobby.

I wish him much success with that. We tried and never got any tomatoes.
