Polling the MDB Masses

[_John Larsen]

Hard to say. I consider myself a "used to be" LDS, not necessarily ex-LDS. I don't know if that's a distinction without difference, though. I haven't resigned or anything. I just don't buy it anymore.

Same here.

Should there be another category, skippy? Inactive LDS? Dis-believing LDS?

If you consider yourself ex-LDS on an intellectual level, perhaps just go with ex?

There are two questions, "what do you consider yourself?" and "what does the Church consider you?" I am on the roles and am in "good standing" but I do not attend, and currently the Church doesn't even know where I am. I would not be considered a believer by any definition

I notice there are just 3 votes for "never" and one of them is me. That confirms to me that. with cksalmon's recent departure, there are just 3 of us left.

Pretty much what I expected.

You know, this is not funny,
Are you saying you never been LDS?
If so wtf do you know about ex Mormon anger? (see your previous post).
Eh?

In what post did I reference "ex Mormon anger"?

[_Danna]

A holy prayer in Sunday school
To graduate from BYU
All the work that you've given
Guarantees a place in heaven
Work for god with no commission
Slave to the cause on a two-year mission
Never ever acting mean
Never ever drink caffeine

Mormon Fury, Mormon Fury, Mormon Fury

Black neckties and shirts of white
Door to door ride on your bike
Go to church and pay your dues
The man up stairs looks after you
So glad to live the righteous life
With fifteen kids and seven wives
And all the morals that I've carried
No sex until I'm married

Mormon Fury, Mormon Fury, Mormon Fury

So just in case you haven't heard
We've been sent to spread the word
With pamphlet books of propaganda
Guide us through this evil land and
You'll be oh so blessed to see the light
As long as you are straight and white
It's a religious helter skelter
So fun to be an elder

Mormon Fury, Mormon Fury, Mormon Fury

Brigham Young among divine
Waiting for the end of time

Mormon Fury, Mormon Fury, Mormon Fury

Interesting so far:

LDS 39% [ 11 ]
Ex-LDS 50% [ 14 ] x
Never-LDS 10% [ 3 ]

I didn't realise the stakes were so nearly evenly divided. A similar poll was done on FAIR/MADB a long while ago, and there were almost even numbers there too. Someone who posts on MAD, please go start a similar poll there (if the mods allow it :)

It's odd because I would have thought there were more Ex than LDS. I think I saw that 30 posters voted? I'd estimate that about 50 post here on a fairly regular basis.

Lots of former LDS posters have also exited (as have exmos), or only come back from time to time. I expect more votes to come, and I expect the ex-LDS vote to dominate (but I have been wrong on one or two occasions in my life). I'm also wondering where Moniker is. Haven't see her in ages, not even on MAD.
