Re: Are Ex-Mo's TBM's in reverse?
So, Jersey Girl, what's your rough estimate of how many exmormons who post on this board, for example, who spend as much time on this board as they did on being an active Mormon? And how much time do you imagine those posters spend on this board?
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.

Leaving the Church took a lot of time and energy, but being an former Mormon doesn't take much energy. Hell, by you post volume I would bet that you (Jersey) put more energy into Mormonism than I do.
John,
If you're going to comment to me, I'd appreciate it if you didn't embed that comment your reply to another poster. Had it not been for Porter's massive stupidity, I wouldn't have noticed this comment at all.
Having said that. I had visited RFM just prior to writing the OP here. I do have a high post count on MDB however, it's not the highest nor do most of my posts involve discussion of Mormonism.
Did you miss this part of my OP?
For all the criticism's of how much of a time investment TBM's devote to church callings and weekly activities, how are the Ex-Mo posters any different given the time invested in posting about Mormonism after they've exited?
The analogy focused on criticism's of TBM's by ex-Mo's about the amount of time TBM's devote to church related activity vs the amount of time ex-Mo's spend criticizing them for it.
I can't think of a single instance when I myself, have criticized the time investment of TBM's to church callings and other related activity.
And that's the difference, John.

ROFL!!
Thanks for the new siggy John!
Why do you need a new "siggy"? Did you forget your current screen name?
You see, technically a "siggy" would refer to "signature". You obviously meant "sig line" as in "signature line".
Or was your post intentionally meaningless?

Re: Are Ex-Mo's TBM's in reverse?
Certainly!
And I have noted this before. At least some of the more irrational and angry exmo posters here-we and they know who they are-are the mirror image of those they despise and make fun of. No question about it. They have merely shifted from one thing to another.[/quote]
Really?
Consider this;
Most of these people, feel they have been (mentally) victimized & molested & abused in their lifelong calling. I don't identify myself with them because I wasn't hurt by the church.
But there are other events in my life that I keep the score and given a chance I would love to pay back in kind.
Forgiveness is not a virtue for some of these people when they are so deeply hurt.

I see. So, those who feel they've have been (mentally) victimized & molested & abused in their lifelong calling, don't need a therapist.
They need to attack people.
Well, that makes all the sense in the world, solo.

Oh and by the way, thanks for the second line in my SIGGY.
... our church isn't true, but we have to keep up appearances so we don't get shunned by our friends and family, fired from our jobs, kicked out of our homes, ... Please don't tell on me. ~maklelan

It's interesting to note that Porter is listing a quote in his signature from someone who is supposedly on his block list.

How, may I ask dear MODeRATOR , do you know if she is still on my block list?

I don't. But you had proudly displayed her as being part of your block list. If you have changed your mind, good for you.
I'll bet you're still mad that you can't put me on on your block list. ;)

Hey, Jersey Girl,
The only person in attack mode I see is actually you.
I haven't seen a single anti-mormon physically attacking to anybody yet.
This is America, everybody's free speech is protected. If you do not want to read or watch exmormon venting turn your tv/ipod/pc/Mac, (whatever weapon they use for their purpose) off.
There is nothing wrong trying to tear down Scientology, Mormonism, JW's, Islam, etc.
They are the ones who claim to have divine authority.
Some people simply say to them; screw you & your authority. Enough is enough.
