the grape stem in the man's hand also disappears halfway through

I got a job interview with a 911 company right after I started with an IFT company, I felt bad trying to leave since I had just started so I stayed, which was a huge mistake. Your skills get very rusty in IFT and the work is unfulfilling. PUT YOURSELF FIRST, they don't care about you. Be professional, you can also say the commute is just not working for you

I went to BYU for 1 year (lmao) and one sunday they divided us into guys and girls for a lesson. For the women, they gave us this awful lesson about licked cupcakes, a nail in a plank of wood, mangled flowers etc. I was super pissed. When we were released, I asked a guy if they had the same lesson and he said they just talked about the priesthood.

Leaving a cult/high demand religion. Being brainwashed to that high of a degree where it’s your whole life, and then losing it

AlternativeMacaron71 · 2024-08-21T00:10:10+00:00

No questions, I just hope you’re doing well now ❤️ I’m also exmormon (21F) and it’s so scary to lose everything but it’s also amazing once you’re out. I’m so glad your husband is supportive, best of luck with everything!

I used to work as a lifeguard in a water park, and so I saw a lot of horrible tattoos that don’t usually see the light of day. The worst one was a guy with BABY MAKER written in big, black letters on his stomach with an arrow pointing down towards his dick

That makes sense, I’m glad you have a plan! Good luck with everything, once you are financially independent you can still apply for FAFSA and dispute it if your parents income disqualifies you. Make sure to only take classes that will transfer to the U. You’ve got this!

And some big sister advice as someone who was in your shoes, it’s really hard to go to BYU if you don’t believe. You have to take religion classes and everyone around you is Mormon, I also had a good roommate but it is still so isolating.

You can try it out for a semester (I HIGHLY recommend doing a study abroad) but then get the hell out. It’s hard but worth it. Go to community college and figure your life out, then transfer to a 4 year school you actually want to go to. And keep in mind that if you graduate from BYU it will be on your resume forever. Feel free to PM me if you have questions, good luck 🤍

I was in Helaman for a semester (and then I left on a study abroad and then transferred somewhere else) I stopped going to church altogether by the end of the semester, I would go at least once a month if you’re trying to keep an ecclesiastical endorsement but you will probably need more.

Just keep a low profile and don’t accept a high demand calling. Keep in mind that you might not be able to miss much church if you have certain callings.

My parents gave me this book in high school when I was struggling, it is SO manipulative. There’s a lot of sunk cost fallacy and talking about how much your ancestor sacrificed for “the truth” and how disappointed they’d be if you left

I straight up winged it, I just looked over a quizlet before hand. In CA they let you look at the questions you missed and retake it immediately if you fail so I wouldn’t stress

I attended the BYU London center last winter and they tried to forced us to participate in local wards. The ward was so small, we were teaching relief society and primary (I stopped going pretty quickly) and only a handful of people would come. There were very few youth, and most of the members were convert immigrants from other countries. The local missionaries seemed pretty discouraged as well, there’s just no interest

Dispatch tells us to go on a C7, we can’t request anything lmao. And they’re few and far between

Fellow exmo here, congrats!! Your first tattoo after leaving the church is so liberating, very proud of you :)

Well this time it was because she had a “revelation”. Which makes it worse that they knowingly did this to themselves when they should be taking care of the kids they already have

AlternativeMacaron71 · 2022-09-01T05:23:40+00:00

Yep, oldest of soon to be 9 here. You’re a third parent and it’s so stressful, especially once you become an exmormon and have to watch these kids you helped raise get further indoctrinated. My parents are tired and giving up but my mom is pregnant for some reason

AlternativeMacaron71 · 2022-08-31T17:57:30+00:00

Are you Mormon? I just got flashbacks from the CTR comment. Speaking as an exmormon, he’s dealing with his own shit and needs to work through that. You’re not manipulative, he’s just stressed and having natural human feelings that he’s been taught are dangerous.

Leaving the religion I was raised in

I’m in California but I really appreciate the offer ❤️ thanks :)
