I have not posted for so very long before this T Perry thing happened to me, that I really forgot something very important. You all are right, it is up to each individual to decide what they choose to believe or not, and that is the way it should be. It was not my place to feel offended when some did not believe me, and it just does not really matter to me anymore.

Like my best friend , Col. Mormoni said, it was just so much fun to have a place to share the experience. He is out this am helping with grandkids but I don't think he will be gone to long. He is a very good writer, and his exit story is very interesting, so as soon as I talk with him I will have him post it here. He may be to humble to say this, but he has a masters and doctorate degree, is a brilliant man, and was once in the bishopric of his ward.

I was divorced on Nov. 17th 2008, and we met at Rumbi's Dec. 6, at 3 p.m., just a couple of weeks later. We have dated on and off, but I shall always love this good man. I suffered so very much through the past 2 years dealing with all 5 of my TBM kids, their spouses, and not being allowed to be alone with my grandkids.

I was married over 38 years and when I left my ex no longer wanted me. I lost every one of my old friends but one, I believe because I left so very publicly, I told everyone I knew I no longer believed, and apparently that is just not done here in Utah. It was hard, I mean really really hard, many tears, and C Moroni was there for it all.

My middle daughter had a 4 month old baby die this last year, and she still will not speak to me. She blames me for the death, because I did not have enough faith, mormon faith. It has been very painful, but I am a survivor, and with C Moroni's help, I have made it through, and am doing far better than I was last year at this time.

I used to post as moronomore, but changed that name because my kids spied on and found me here and I am sure found the name as well as the topics offensive. I don't think they have looked in quite a while because I just quit posting months ago, so I feel pretty sure they will never see this, but if they do, so be it. I am much stronger now and will just tell them to mind their own business, and that if they look they get what they deserve.

Mostly I just want to take a moment to thank Col Moroni for his undying love and support for me. He has never once wavered in that, even when I have dated others here and there a bit, he has just sat back and patiently waited. He is one remarkable guy and I know he will be happy to share his story here on line with you.

Col.Moroni., I will always love you for the very good man you are, and for all you have done for me, the countless acts of love and sacrifice, showing up in the middle of the night when the batteries in the smoke detectors were low and were beeping and I had no idea of what to do (we live only 10 min, apart here in Sandy), and a million other things big and small. You have pulled me out of depression when I was so low I did not really want to go on anymore. And now I'm tearing up as I recall the day you found me with the razor blade cutting myself, and took it from me, and just let me cry for hours it seemed. You are my hero, and have never, ever let me down. I know you wrote what you did trying to protect me as always, but it is okay. We have nothing to prove. I love you and always will. My life just would not ever be the same without you in it. Sorry, folks, this is a real love story, and you can believe it or not, but I just wanted to thank him once, publicly, for all that he means in my life. I love you Colonel Moroni, from my heart's bottom. Think4u

The guy's rank isn't high enough...

I hereby promote him to General...

And now, sir, how about that exit story think4u just goosed you into writing?

I just spoke to Colonel Moroni on the phone and he will be posting his exit story in just a few minutes. I forget the title but his name will be in it. He is just an amazing man and my very dearest friend.

This I copied and pasted from Cmoroni's first post last night which many people questioned. And just 5 minutes ago he posted his own story. I know it all seems rather unbelievable- it really does seem too good to be true, I get that.


We met 5 minutes after think4u nailed Tom Perry

December 6th, Monday, two days ago. I was sitting in Rumbi's drinking a coke, reflecting on the years we had been dating. Three o'clock and exactly two years to the minute. Looking out the window I unexpectedly see think4u's blue jeep pull up in a rush.
At first I thought she had decided to help me celebrate our benchmark day as she literally flew out of her car and into the seat next to me. "You won't believe what just happened, you just won't believe it". Thinking she had fallen in love with me all over again, she said, "no, it's even better than that!".
For anyone who doubts the reality of her experience with Tom Perry, you'd only have had to see and feel her rapture as she described in detail her encounter. Trust me, there is only one think4u.
Beautiful, smart, assertive, and in your face with the truth. She was energized, jazzed, and simply bursting with delight. I have to admit, even I had to ask if she was putting me on, ie, the chance encounter, no body guard, no admirers asking for autographs and blessings. But it was all true.
I have known this remarkable woman for two years now (10 in dog years as we say to each other), her integrity and zest for truth is unquestioned. As someone posted, she ROCKS! For the past two days, we've savored and recounted every moment. I still laugh, picturing her bearing her holy toast inspired testimony that the church is not what it claims to be and driving home her assertion that hiding the truth from members is inexcusable and damaging.
You would not want to cross this lady with lies, and I have little doubt that he had never encountered anyone, especially this educated, well informed, politely assertive, passionate woman who would not let him get away with his pretense. Even this supposed kind decent man, Gods witness, must have felt a bit intimidated in her presence. What guts and courage, but I'm not surprised in the least that she wouldn't let this once in a life time opportunity pass her by.
This is a first posting for me, totally motivated by some of the doubters out there who seem to feel this was either too good to be true, or that her story was embellished or exaggerated in some way. She has this thing about saying what's on her mind, and contrary to Body K's admonition, she finds truth to be very useful.

You have every right to defend your integrity. I am glad you are here and have a wonderful, supportive friend.

So many times you posted things that I related to, especially the pain of having children who will not speak to you and act like you're a danger to their kids. My grandson would not know me if he passed me on the street and it hurts because we used to be so close. I have another daughter who is coming around but I still walk on eggshells around her. I am lucky to have a son who was there with me through the really tough times and has an understanding for it all and really looks out for me.

You are lucky to have found such a good friend who knows where you came from and what you are going through and who has been there for you unconditionally. It is really touching how he came on here and came out so he could "testify" for you. And I enjoyed reading his story too.

I can also relate to that and it is still hard for me to believe I can have someone in my life who can accept me the way I am and not judge me. After divorcing, and after losing so many family and friends when I left the church, I'm not accustomed to being good enough for anyone. So I still get a little afraid to let the force field down and just relax and enjoy having a great friend.

Good luck to you and I hope you and the Captain hang around and share your wisdom and your stories with us.

I think I sat next to you during the happy hour at the ExMo conference. You might remember me. The really good-looking guy? Charming, witty, and erudite? (Fair warning: You had drunk something pretty powerful, and I may have appeared better looking than is actually the case. I might also have appeared blurry.) Anyway, some of your story is coming back to me as you tell it. So happy you got this opportunity to give numb-nuts Perry a bit of your mind. You speak for all of us. It's a rare opportunity and we're all jealous. Best of luck in everything. I know you really like this guy--you TOLD me!

I think you know me too. I remember being there with a table of people I'd not met before,very nice and younger than me, and yes, I was a bit tipsy. I rarely drink, so can hold no liquer! I do not remember talking about Col.Moroni, but then I have no idea of what I said. I hope we meet again, and next time I will remember you!

from the Open Mic talk you gave at the 2009 Exmormon conf.
I wasn't there but watched it on the computer.

You can hear the audio here:

Aw, so sweeet! Your story about taking no prisoners with L.Tom was a vicarious treat for all of us - the poster who said it sounded like exmo porn was right on! We'd all like to be you!

So glad you have a comrade-in-arms who knows what you've been through because it's not something you can explain. When I tell people I was in a cult and still post online, they always ask why.

Thanks for sharing your personal story - so inspiring!

Hey world, just in case you can't read between the lines, best friends for sure, but I do love, so very much, my Sweet Thing.

You make me cry. Your unwaivering and unconditional love for me is something I have never known before in my entire life. Thank you so much, Colonel Moroni for that elegant, beautiful watch you bought me just 2 days ago on Dec. 6th, after our 3 p.m. unplanned, but most exciting meeting at Rumbi's- exactly 2 years after we first met there, same place,date and time. I just knew you would be there, sentimental man that you are.
I wear it all the time and every time I look at it, I think about what you told me- that it is to always remind me of the 2 special events in our lives that occurred right there at Draper Rumbi's at 3 o'clock p.m. on Dec. 6th of 2008 and 2010. The first time I had the pleasure of first meeting and talking with you for hours, and the second time I got to share with you every single detail of my just minutes before encounter with T.Perry. I am one happy and oh so lucky lady! You truly live in my heart. Think4u
