An Introduction

The goal of this blog is to express my own journey out of theistic belief with an emphasis on LDS (Latter Day Saints/Mormon) indoctrination. I will not be attacking specific doctrines or church history. Rather, It is my hope that by working through my own thoughts and struggles I can inspire and support those who may be in similar situations and to inform others how this transition can be a difficult one.
I plan on exploring topics like faith, morals, the supernatural, depression, and more. Please feel free to comment and discuss as I am open to alternative perspectives and insight. For more info, please visit my about me page.

    Hi there, my name is Josh Romney. I grew up in Utah Valley but I’m currently at film school in North Carolina. I left the Church about 7 years ago. I’m currently doing a thesis film for my MFA and I’m looking at some of the most fucked issues in Utah Valley. The top of my hit list? Soaking. So many things have to go wrong in a society to end up at soaking. 😅 I adore your videos and I’d love to include one in my documentary. Do you have a funny TikTok on the subject of soaking? Would you consider making one? I’ve been chatting with Exmo Lex and Jack Mormon and I think a small compilation would be an absolute gem. My email is joshua.romney@gmail.com. I’d love to chat with you about this more. Keep fighting the good fight!

      Apologies. I have no idea why this posted 5 times. Or why the message for NuanceHoe came here instead of the message for you. My bad. I still hope you’ll consider being involved. I have no problem maintaining your anonymity.

Telling My Wife I Don't Believe

I finally told my wife that I no longer believe. At the beginning of this year, The Mormon Church made some significant changes to the ceremonies in the temple. Growing up in the church, it was common to hear how priesthood ordinances like baptism and temple work were unchanging and had to be done exactly to script. Because of this, we would frequently mock the Catholic church for how often they change their ceremonies and practices to suit more modern audiences. However, now that there are several changes being made to the Mormon ceremonies, most members of the church are praising these amazing "new revelations."

Hope For My Kids

My oldest son has a very intuitive mind. Even when he was a toddler he would think things through very carefully and be really observant. As he grew up, he would constantly ask questions about how something worked or what it does. I even remember when he was about 4 years old, he sincerely asked my wife why he should love Jesus. He asked: I don't really know him, he's not here, so why do I need to love him? I think my wife answered something about how even if we don't see him, we should still love him because he's the savior. He has asked these types of questions about the church and my wife usually gives the standard church answer. If he asks me, I try to turn it back on him and ask what he thinks. I think it's a great exercise in critical and skeptical thinking.
