Thanks for Your Service, Ex-Mos! | A Sanctimonious Scooby-Doo Mystery
A believing Mormon influencer—called Scooby (not making that up)—goes viral with a video “thanking” ex-Mormons for their years of service, sacrifice, and devotion to the LDS Church. But what sounds like a kind gesture quickly unravels under the weight of gaslighting, empty platitudes, and performative empathy.
In this episode, we decode Scooby’s soft-focus spiritual TED Talk and reveal the disturbing truths beneath the surface: unpaid labor, financial deception, scout abuse cover-ups, weaponized doctrine, and the toxic theology that drove so many of us out.
If Scooby really wanted to show love, he’d start with “I’m sorry.” Instead, he gave us a digital thank-you card wrapped in a PR stunt.
And what happened when I sent him a message? Well, just like every Scooby-Doo episode, the mask slips—and you realize who was behind the deception the whole time.
👻 Welcome to the real mystery machine.
