It actually makes no sense for me to join this tribe, because I did grow up mormon, and I'm not in Utah anymore, either. But I was, for the most part, considered the "bad" one in my microcosm of a neighborhood, which greatly sucked, and I periodically consider moving back to SLUT because I miss my family or else maybe I've been hypnotized. Now I have a daughter, and a totally clueless nonmormon husband, and I hate to think of the suffering they might endure if we were to move there. However, I can't seem to resist this totally irrational homesickness that posesses me much of the time. They tell me SL is not nearly as stifling as it used to be, but of course it's my family telling me this and I suspect they have ulterior motives...BTW, totally with you all the way about the "reverse prejudice" thing, you know, you try to be open minded, but they make it so easy to get irked...

Hi, all. Just joined the group and wanted to say hi. I grew up in the Salt Lake area. I was raised athiest, because my mother left the church herself as a teenager. I stay in Utah because of the beautiful outdoors, and periodically escape the city's politics by finding refuge among the red rock and Juniper trees in Southern Utah.
