What we’re about
Meetup serves two purposes:
Our First goal is to provide support for each other and to build community. So, whether you are a member, or left the church recently, or have been out for years, or were never Mormon but are looking for community, come and socialize with us and share your story.
Secondly, we uncover the fallacies, deception, and misinformation employed by the LDS Church to gain control over our lives.
Davis County Ex-Mormon Meetups alternate between 10 AM and 2:30 PM on Sundays at Smiths Marketplace, 1370 W 200 N, Kaysville, UT 84037.
Entering Smith's turn right, take the up staircase on the right side of Starbucks, turn right on the 2nd floor at the top of the stairs, take 10 strides passing the lockers to the conference room entrance on the right.

Rejecting the Authoritarian Self
Authoritarian religion cannot survive without authoritarian people. While institutions may preach obedience, it is individuals who internalize and enforce that obedience upon themselves and others—sometimes unconsciously. Studies suggest that roughly 30% of the population across cultures are predisposed to seek strong authority figures, and many of these individuals bring this preference into their religious lives. But this tendency is not harmless. When church members trade away their moral responsibility for the comfort of certainty and hierarchy, they become co-creators of an authoritarian system. Their compliance gives power to leaders who reward loyalty over love and uniformity over spiritual integrity.
