I'm pretty sure you've misunderstood me again.

They are not going to listen stem. However, you should know one assumption that I have about many of the exmormons on this board: they were probably the most judgemental bunch of tbms imaginable. And they still are very judgemental. And that is the point behind many of their posts. They can not separate who they were as Mormons from people like us, who had less judgemental thoughts. It just carries over into their exmormon status.
Well I tried not to be judgmental. But it really baffles me when I see people not listening to the prophet when they believe in the church. I'm still baffled by it. I have much more respect for people that believe something and they they try their hardes to follow what they believe. Sure they slip up once and a while but hey it least they are trying. I can understand this. However; I don't have much respect for people that don't follow what they believe (unless they are married to a TBM and faking it cause I can understand that).
Over the last year I have met many Mormons that still believe but they don't follow much of the teachings.

Either that or they actually view Mormons in general in such a light while ignoring the majority who aren't that way.
Why Me is basically a nevermo, and you're EXTREMELY heterodox, almost to the point of apostasy. I'm not sure either of you really understand the church as it is for most members.

Maybe you guys should start a new thread about how judgemental exmormons are.
I think you guys are not the majority Mormons you are more the minority. Most follow the counsel of the prophets. Stem how about you wear an earing for a month and see what happens. That would be interesting. I'll give you 10 bucks!

I think I have a fairly good graspon how most members view the church. I also will acknowledge that in many respects I will disagree with the majority position, but to characterize me as "EXTREMELY heterodox" is very misleading or plain ignorant. But in truth, I do get the impression that many people here were the type of members I don't much care for, at least judging by the things they say. In a way that's cool because they are probably better people outside the Church. When I start reading from some posters here, I normally get the impression that they think many or most members are as they were, or as their grandmas were, or something.
Love ya tons, Stem
I ain't nuttin'. don't get all worked up on account of me.

Yeah that is the way I am seeing it Buffalo. His TBM mom needs to give him a talking.
You know like when the prophet has counsel it's probably a good idea to follow it.
Haven't you heard the song "Follow the Prophet" Stem?
If you don't think wearing an earing is no big deal then it least wear a fake one for a month. Let's see what happens.

I suppose if I were interested in playing games and I gave more than two thoughts about my appearance I might try it. As it is, I just don't' see the point.

And here is the judgementalism that buffalo had as a tbm. I would be a nevermo even though I supported two daughters on a mission and attend the Mormon church, true, not all three meetings. Amazing. Sadly, I have heard the same refrain from other exmos on this board who were most likely very judgemental tbms.
I intend to lay a foundation that will revolutionize the whole world. Joseph Smith We are “to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to provide for the widow, to dry up the tear of the orphan, to comfort the afflicted, whether in this church, or in any other, or in no church at all…” Joseph Smith

It is odd isn't it. Most of the critics hear were members just like me. Then when I look at most of the apologist they are members that I rarely met. They really weren't like me at all.
This is sooo crazy! I'm around church members all the time and they are nothing like you or whyme. I'm pretty sure I know what the majority of members are like.
