Actually, I'm not a former Mormon, though I have quite a number or friends and family that are. The years I spent in New Orleans I met a lot of mishies trying to convert me but I just fed them instead. Those were the sweetest boys ever. My family seems to be split pretty evenly on my dad's side...either Mormon (or ex-Mormom) or Catholic. I was fortunate enough because of the LDS ties to be able to research my family back to the 1400's which is how I came into contact with the missionaries locally. Then I found out from a long lost Aunt her family's story with LDS church - unfortunately an all too common story of wresting oneself away and the turmoil and heartache it caused.
I've always found history and religious history very interesting.

You're a former Mormon, aren't you? Why not include Outer Blogness? ;^)
