Hair Loss and Toppers! :
I was never political until Trump and that was when I finally left the church. I was genuinely unaware that most of the people in my ward aligned with his policies and supported him despite the ungodly things he was doing and saying. That was a HUGE eye opener for me 😳

Jews were one of the highest blue exit polls. I want everyone to remember this the next time someone is being anti-Semitic

I think you nailed it. I was a liberal Mormon, now I’m a liberal ex-mo. I have some friends that are liberal and still in, just patiently waiting for them to join me ☺️

Yep. I tried SO HARD to be the “change from within” until 2014. I couldn’t get behind the anti-lgbtqia rhetoric coming from the pulpit back when oaks was just an apostle. all of my compassionate friends have left in the last 10 years too.

Yep, I made my decision to leave when they were pushing hard for Prop 8 in California (trying to reverse the decision that allowed gay marriage) That showed me how hypocritical all of the leaders, and most of the members, were

I went no contact with my TBM mother in January 2026 over Rene Good and Alex Pretti. One cult programmed her for another. I got out; she didn’t. I can’t go back

My dad is liberal but still very mormon. I left the church 15 years ago. Its strange that we agree on politics but can't talk about tge church. He's in his mid 80s so I've decided it isn't really worth ruining our friendship at this point.

After not going for a couple of years I thought maybe I'd go back to the church. I thought I could enjoy the parts that were universal the music, the fellowship, watching families be together. After about 2 months it just wasn't sustainable. I know the church pride itself on being non-partisan but the talks and the lessons were very hard right. While most of the members were pleasant and kind, there were a couple who just couldn't keep their trumpism to themselves. The final straw for me came on a Sunday after the Iran war had started. This was just after we heard about that school of little girls being blown up. One of the guys in Elders Quorum said that all the leftists in the church should be lined up and shot. I got really angry and said that is not okay and that I personally felt threatened. He and I were rebuked for bringing in contention to the quorum. Him for saying we should murder all the leftists and me for saying I didn't want to be murdered. We were both equally guilty of bringing in a bad spirit. That was the end of that experiment.

eslarsen :
very relatable, I was an openly liberal Mormon for about ten years before leaving and it was extremely challenging. similar to you, I was told I could keep my temple recommend and support lgbtq communities/policies as long as I didn't talk about it lol

They are the wealthiest religious group in the US so they have incentive to protect their assets in the 10s of billions. I don’t believe they are really that principled in their religion.

Such a great example of when they had to choose between religion and politics, they chose their politics.

My dad was way more upset about me voting Democrat than he was about me leaving the church.

Nina Walker :
This. Yup. But somehow when the prophet told ppl to wear masks during covid, personal revelation was the excuse not to. I tried so hard to “be the bridge” and I couldn’t do it anymore and we left in 2021. I still have a lot of love for people active in the church but I consider myself Mormon by heritage only.

As a lesbian ex-Mormon who was raised in the church and then had myself ex-communicated, I thank you for your important voice and support.

What, we didn’t all leave? We just all migrated to Salt Lake City. That’s how we were able to flip one house seat. I’ve lived in Salt Lake County for so long that I forget what the rest of Utah is like, and every time we have elections, I’m surprised how still Republican this state is outside of this county

from a stats/quantitative perspective, to better isolate the portion of this phenomenon due to Mormon culture & doctrine, it may be necessary to control for racial composition (eg: proportion of white members in Mormonism vs other denominations)

GB :
When it was Kerry v Bush shortly after my mission, my mother had her neighbor friends over for dinner. I was still TBM, but I refused to vote for Bush. They got talking about politics (I was in the other room) and someone asked what other though of John Kerry. One said “he’s very European” (like that was an insult), and another said flatly, “I don’t think anyone who votes Democrat should be allowed in the temple,” and NO ONE challenged her on it. That caused one of my major cracks in the shelf.
