Sometimes I wonder...
Ever since I became Mormon as a teenager, I was very involved socially at church, especially as a YSA. I've probably met and interacted with a few thousand members around my age over the years. And while, just because it's a numbers game, I've not kept in touch with nearly all of them, I often wonder who else has since come out on the other side of TSCC as well. Relatively few of my close friends have left and quite a few of them are definitely hyper-TBM still. But as far as acquaintances from back then go, I have mostly no clue who is still in.
That got me thinking...it could be fun to do not a general Exmo meetup, but institute/YSA ward/YSA stake reunions for people who have perhaps met each other back in the day but don't know they've each left.
Like in my case, if you were at Weber State/in the Ogden YSA 1st stake (or just active in institute) from about 2012 to 2018, we've probably met. Could be fun for all of us to go to Grounds for Coffee together someday.
