WasMormon.org

From the website:

Remember the old mormon.org website? Before we were told that the term mormon was a victory for satan, there was a website about what it was to be a mormon. It allowed verified members to add a profile that basically bore their testimony of the church. It had a catalog of questions to answer and I thought it was pretty interesting to have a website set up to let people share their beliefs and faith. I even set up a profile. The church showcased and presented member stories, even if they were the sanitized faith-promoting versions. Fast-forward to today, when the website is no longer online and all those profiles have been removed. The site changing made me consider what if there was a place where we could actually share our beliefs and answer common questions. Somewhere unfiltered and uncensored (though we aim to keep it PG). So since we’re discouraged from saying mormon anymore #victoryforsatan, I registered the domain and created wasmormon.org. Hopefully it’s truthful enough and toungue-in-cheek enough to be informative and thoughtful yet playful. Though it I’m sure will have a slant away from active, believing members, I hope the term wasmormon can be inclusive of all those who were mormon. Including post-mormons, ex-mormons and [insert any mormon labels here] alike: ex, post, progressive, liberal, middle-way, new order, fundamental, unorthodox, conservative, inactive, less-active, big tent, anti, ex-ed, etc. If you think about it, even active, TBM, card-carrying members could be called wasmormons since The church is distancing itself from the term mormon altogether.
