How did you find the new site?

This is for encouragement, ideas, and support for people going through a faith transition no matter where you hope to end up. This is also the place to laugh, cry, and love together.

After checking the old URL for the 100th time, I checked Reddit. Thank you all who have brought it back!!! Reddit is good for spreading disaffected Mormon news but I really don't like the predominant tone there. I dunno maybe it's just because I'm not a millennial.

Always been the good kid, but I wanted to know more, and to find and test truth.

It's not just the tone. The pace of discussion on Reddit has been likened to a drive-by shooting. I have seen some very kind reception to believers openly posting on reddit/r/exmormon where they did want honest, polite answers. And it's warmly gratifying to see members of the ExJW group cross posting in commiseration of similar issues of a faith transition. But I also appreciate a more thoughtful pace and longer discussion format on NOM. So that's why Red Ryder, Hagoth, and I put it back together. I have to give a lot of credit to Thayne for navigating the tone of the old site into something good and resilient that led us to re-congregate at NOM 2.0.

It's a blessing developed by heathens for the benefit of the one true church. God shared an extra few precious minutes of Holy Ghost time with some guy so he would get the inspiration to create a free internet based membership monitoring tool for the Strengthening Church Members Committee. God works in mysterious ways, usually to the financial benefit of his celestial corporation.

I found it because it was mentioned on r/NOMforum. Reddit and NOM scratch different itches for me, and ignoring format differences they have different tones and community. r/exmormon is like a football stadium, thousands of people cheering, booing, gasping at bad and amazing plays, people arguing over ref calls and maybe debating with the stranger next to them if the '84 line up was the best there ever was. NOM is more like a family reunion where people form into clusters to talk about something and you float between those clusters and encounter people you know well and get introduced to the occasional third cousin thrice removed.

It's not that NOM is better, or reddit is worse, they're different and serve different purposes.

Some call it luck, others call it faith, I call it destiny!

So glad to be back!

Just found this site on Google. I was wondering where it went to.

Does anyone know how to get ahold of wonderment, the running mom, and so many others? We still have to find about 4900 lost NOMs.

I could put it in the ward bulletin. :)

Maybe having a Star of NOM that Wise Men from the East may follow bearing gifts the Pengi consisting of Diet Coke, Pad Thai, and Baklava.
Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

Someone using the name Wonderment has posted on fMh. I don't go there much these days, so I don't know if it's the same person or if they still frequent that site.

kishkumen / korihor / whatever his name is texted me about it. Otherwise I would have continued to look at the blue screen of death on the old page every week or so when I went to check it.

Is she super polite and full of great wisdom? If so that could be her? Somebody needs to reach out to her please!

Finally found you all! I got a notification on Tapatalk of a chat going on. I scrolled up and saw I missed a ton of chatter, including the new address. I've missed NOM so much! I signed up a few days ago, waited for an activation email that never came, then found I was able to log in anyway.

So happy to be here :D

There is a New Order Mormon Facebook group? I may have to do some lurking there.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/NewOrderMormon/ It's a closed group but they let me in immediately. Not too many people in the group but some good discussion.

I am Facebook friends with a couple people from the old site. When the old site went down, I chatted with a couple former members.They recommended the Facebook NOM group. There were some interesting discussions, but not much. It could be a few days between posts. It was there that someone mentioned the new site. It took me a few days to register and post due to being very busy at the time.

Count the heads, I'm back baby.
