Hi. I’m Heather B. Armstrong, and this used to be called mommy blogging. But then they started calling it Influencer Marketing: hashtag ad, hashtag sponsored, hashtag you know you want me to slap your product on my kid and exploit her for millions and millions of dollars. That’s how this shit works. Now? Well… sit back, buckle up, and enjoy the ride.

2005/04/04 at 1:46 amHa, I just saw noticed that one of the google ads says, “Mormon turns porn star”. I wonder if it’s referring to the movie Orgasmo ??

2005/04/04 at 2:11 amHow come all the Mormon Missionaries who come to NZ wear black suits and ride bicycles… what’s up with that? Makes it easy to spot them and not answer the door… although sometimes it’s nice to talk to someone from home (they’re all Americans). One time, a couple of young lads came to the door, and I regaled them with stories of my time working in SLC, and having a tour of the (outside of the) Tabernacle… they’d never been to Utah themselves.:)

2005/04/04 at 2:54 amGood morning all. It’s funny to me how many Mormon photos, sayings, and references are found on this ex-Mormon’s site. Mormonism (is that the right term?) must be akin to Catholicism in that you can leave the church, but it’s always still with you in some form, yes?
Henryk_
2005/04/04 at 3:00 amI agree, once you leave, you either continue to hare it….or you continue to hate it!

2005/04/04 at 3:10 amWhat a sexy Mormon!

2005/04/04 at 3:28 amI’m loving the new masthead, particularly the surrounding pattern. Nice picture by the way, but I am also missing the commentary. ::sigh::

2005/04/04 at 3:41 amI wonder how often they paint that church.
Nice hands. Does this mean Jon is becoming a missionary?
Henryk_
2005/04/04 at 3:42 amIt all depends on who he is talking to!

2005/04/04 at 4:03 amWe don’t get too many Mormons up here in Canada, more Jehovah’s Witnesses. Friday I had one guy WAIT for me to pull in my driveway, then he WAITS for me to get my kids out of the car, then he is all, “HI! IS THIS YOUR SPOON? HA HA HA!”
He found a spoon on my lawn. I was like, “yep. thanks. bye.”
Then he tried to show me his magazines about the end of the world. I just kept walking away.
