Canada Edmonton Post-Mormon

 

Edmonton ExMormon Mini Conference

Come to an evening and enjoy hearing first hand the experiences of former members Bob McCue and Lyndon Lamborn!

Lyndon Lamborn was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints who began researching the history of his faith. The reaction of the leadership to his genuine inquisitiveness, and speaking about what he found out was to publicly excommunicate him.

Lyndon will be coming to speak to us about his experiences along with Bob McCue of Calgary, Alberta. Their are many who have questions about what it is like to be mormon and these men will give an enlightening look into the church from the perspective of former members.

Lyndon Lamborn was born in Logan, Utah to pioneer-stock ancestors with polygamists on both sides of the family tree. Lyndon has five brothers and one sister. All six boys served foreign missions. Lyndon served in the Belgium Brussels mission from 1977-1979, and was a Cum Laude graduate of Utah State University with a BS degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1982. He received a Masters of Sciences degree in Aeronautical Engineering from Embry Riddle in 1990. He was employed by Boeing for twenty-five years, and is also a part-time professor of mathematics at Mesa Community college, Mesa AZ. His former callings in the LDS church included Elders Quorum President four times, a ward membership clerk, Stake Missionary, serving in a Stake Mission Presidency, and Scout Master for six years. He enjoys hiking, backpacking, off-road motorcycle riding, running, and has competed in seven marathons. Lyndon was excommunicated from the Mormon Church in August, 2007.  He had been asking questions, researching the history of the Mormon church, sharing his findings with church members, and felt that he could no longer remain a church member due to the church’s deceitfully one-sided presentation of the facts to church members.

Robert D. McCue is a tax lawyer in Calgary. Mr. McCue received his BA and LLB (with distinction) as well as an MBA, from the University of Alberta. He was called to the British Columbia bar in 1986, and the Alberta bar in 1993. Mr. McCue is a member of the International Fiscal Association, the Canadian Tax Foundation, the Canadian Bar Association and the Calgary Bar Association. His Mormon ancestors helped settle southern Alberta. He had a great-grandmother who was the fourth polygamous wife of a William Paxman, a high-ranking church leader in Utah. Although he was rich, she died in poverty after her husband’s death, because his first wife refused to share his estate. Mr. McCue served as bishop for a local ward for five years. He became distressed after a study of Mormon history and left the Mormon Church by officially resigning at the end of 2002.

The evening conference will take place at the University of Alberta’s Engineering Learning Technology Center in lecture theatre room E1-007.  The location is 116th Street and 92nd Avenue in Edmonton.  The session will start at 6:00pm.


Great event, Suspicious Minds as “host” and excellent speakers, Bob and Lyndon. So glad I could attend.  Looking forward to more.

The first speaker is Bob McCue who presented on Mormonism in Context.  The second and concluding speaker is Lyndon Lamborn who presented on Destructive Mind Control. 

The evening was informative and entertaining.  Friday evening was spent having a social party at the home of one of our chapter members where a good time was had by all!  See you all again next year!


So far I’ve been able to ejoy and learn about Destructive Mind Control on youtube. Thanks you guys, understanding the mechanics is another step to undoing it on one’s self.
