Ex-Mormon

Let us be 100% understood. This is NOT an app for bitterness or anger.

We at NEWLY Ex-Mormon can certainly appreciate those feelings above, having experienced some of them ourselves.

This, however, is an app for healing. An app for community, clarity and counsel and a place of calm amidst a raging sea of emotions, conflict, confusion and sometimes sadness.

This is an app that practices love and demonstrates successful exiting from the church without having to look back.
This app is a community of people who have left the church and want to find and associate with like-minded individuals.

This app will NEVER turn into an "Us Versus Them" or "We're Right, You're Wrong" type of app. If you are looking for something like that, you'll find resources online. This is not an app for that type of mentality or behavior.
There will be times on this app that it MIGHT appear that we are drawing a line, for example when finding sports teams for our children to participate on, you might think, why does it matter if there are ex-Mormons or not? It is merely a way for us as parents and for our children to be surrounded by like-minded individuals where we can create and cultivate NEW relationships. We've lost a major community in our life and need to fill that void quickly and smoothly.

We certainly do not want to ever be exclusive but there will be things, for example, your re-negotiation with yourself and coffee intake, or other experiences that will separate ideas and beliefs but is in NO way a means by which to create drama or harm to anyone.

If we find in our chat rooms or communities that our motto and creeds are broken, you will be banned from this app.
In our list of suggested "To-Do's" some items in the list may be cathartic and healing for some people and downright useless for others. We're okay with that. We want as many people to heal as possible. If it a "To-Do" portion of the app doesn't work for you, simply move on to the next item, or process feelings elsewhere in the app.

We do our best to provide accurate and honest answers wherever possible. If you've found conflicting information, please feel free to contact us to help us understand where we may have missed the mark.

One final thought. Let us never turn into the "monster" we ran from. Most of us left an organization that to many seemed patriarchally-male-dominated, sometimes bigoted, with undeniable racist origins and what oftentimes is perceived as: "We know better than you" thinking. Let us
