Fred,
Thank you for clarifying some of these issues; I’m no expert in Mormon theology, therefore I welcome any corrections of my statements.
I wonder if you would like to tell me how you became a Mormon, or if you were raised into it, how your family became involved with the movement. I'm interested in finding out what part of the Mormon church was most attractive to you at first. For me, its emphasis on family is the most captiving feature.
As far as shunning is concerned, I dated a former Mormon girl who was shunned by her best friend from childhood. The other members of her stake would not give her the time of the day either. Was that an aberration?

who wonders if there is a public forum for Mormons and ex-Mormons a la H20
