I love seeing other Washingtonians around me add their pins to the map. Always gives me a thrill that I'm not alone.

I'm technologically challenged so...how do I add a pin? I'm on a computer, does that make a difference?

Halp me Tom Cruise!

thank you! I also need to confess that for some reason it did not occur to me to click the giant plus sign in the bottom corner. I thought it was a compass or something since it is a map after all. Lol, I meant it when I said "technologically challenged" HA Anyway, pin added!

I click on this app every time it is mentioned just to see if anyone new has pinned their apostasy in my area. After nearly a year of no new pins in my stake, I see a new one. It's marked on the stake center, so to whomever you are, welcome! You are not alone.

Well, turns out my neighbor is gay. Even in a small town of 300, there's still three points on this map. There's got to be quite a few more off the map.

Sadly the only one by me says, "My college bishop assigned a group of 3 men to beat the gay out of me. The church threatened my life for my silence."

The most significant words breakdown is pretty awesome too:

  1. Church
  2. History
  3. Truth
  4. Joseph
  5. Lies

Add a few connecting words and the basic narrative becomes clear: "I left because of the truth about church history and Joseph's lies."

So great! I’m in the Bay Area Ca and so I naturally had to check the area in our ward boundaries. Someone gave their reason right from our church building—Nice!!

There are only 14 people from my county on this map. I knew the people here were die hards. :( Edit: Not the moridor, either.

Even though I currently live in Utah, I decided to add mine to my tiny hometown in Texas. I found only two other pins in my stake, people whom I probably grew up with! This makes me happy.
