Category: And I’m a Mormon
Hi, my name is Peter and Im an ExMormon.
Peter Danzig did not set out to be a Mormon activist. The gentle musician spent his life serving the church he loved. He went on a mission, married in the temple, composed pieces for Mormon pageants, and taught hymns to children. He and his wife, Mary, also a returned missionary,…
Hi, my name is Michelle and Im an ExMormon.

Hi, my name is Mary and Im an ExMormon.
Initially, Mary Danzig thought it was all a big misunderstanding. But soon, her own devotion to the church came into question. She, too, felt unwelcome in the orchestra.

Does Advertising Campaign Enhance or Dilute Mormon Brand?
Guest post by Rex Whisman. Republished with permission. [Note from Chino Blanco: Cross-posted here because I’ve just finished listening to Kyle Monson’s “Publicity, Advertising, & the New Mormon.org” at BCC, and reading Kaimi Wenger’s “The Angel and the Internet” at Times & Seasons, and I think Rex’s questions might provide…
Hi, my name is Nagla, and I’m a Muslim
Nagla and her crew obviously shot this on a slightly tighter budget than what Josh and Aron had to work with. Not that I begrudge our dueling skateboarders the benefit of the best production values that Mormon and Scientologist money can buy (Josh and Aron deserve no less, considering that…
