Do you think reasonable TBMs are getting pushed away from the church and a feeling of belonging by more extreme members?

I myself am feeling increasingly more pushed away, but I was PIMO’ish in the first place so I’m not the best person to answer. I feel sort of alone with my pro-vaccine stance. The people that gave me grief about it after I got it were all members. I do think it’s laughable how much they put RMN on a pedestal, but conveniently ignore his advice about the vaccine.

And not only do they not want this vaccine, they are NASTY about it. They purposely spread disinformation. Constant jokes about how everyone is a sheep, people who mask their children are abusing them, etc. There is a family in our ward and the dad has some serious health conditions. I only saw them once (all masked up) and it just made me sick to think about how people in our own ward are acting about people in masks or those who choose to vaccinate. Not exactly an inviting environment for them!

I really do wonder if some of the behavior from these folks has pushed people away.
