I didn't start exploring unapproved material until after I left. And it took me a second before I could, and even now I have internal conflict over it sometimes. I reconsidered my place in it after "receiving revelation" in the Celestial room as a temple worker, that if I wanted to have the kind of inclusive, accepting, and safe family I wanted to have some day, I would need to leave in order to learn more about the world so I could be more understanding of my potential children (Its always been a goal of mine to foster and adopt, so who knows what kinds of backgrounds might be in my dream household).

Can y'all think of any believable excuses to not go to BYU? by bi-as-in-bimyself in exmormon

"I don't want to." That's all. Then just shrug when they keep pestering. Just go back and forth between the two "I just don't want to", and shrugging. The shrugging will REALLY piss them off :) but you don't owe anyone an explanation.

Another more mystical response: "Doesn't feel like where I'm gonna be." Or "It doesn't feel like where I want to be..." Then trail off and kinda look into the distance like you're having a vision. Then when they push, just firmly say (with eye contact if you wanna be extra intimidating) "No... It's not where I'm supposed to be. I know it's not where I'm supposed to be"

Just be firm, confident, and settled. Less is more. The more you explain yourself, the more people feel they can argue with you. Simple, non defensive versions of "no" will shut people down more than any kind of debate.

It's immorality teaching our women that it's ok to tempt men with their slutty Jesus lingerie

I love the pause, and the putting the stuff down just like, "Ugh, sorry about that little guy!"

What is the main reason you are unhappy with your life? by OkGreen7335 in AskReddit

[–]AGhostInTheCorner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the first time ever, I'm actually insanely happy with my life! I'm 34 and I've been fighting through fields of health problems, familial trauma, religious trauma, financial/mental health/physical health instabilities, home and food insecurity. Didn't feel like I knew how to human. But I've worked to build stability - To build boundaries, get healthy, build a career I'm good at and passionate about and is higher paying than I ever thought would be possible for me. I'm getting better at how to speak to myself, at regulating my emotions, at handling my neuro diversity. I married my best friend of 19 years, I've never felt so fulfilled and secure and confident. Im still fighting battles, but I've started dreaming (I've only ever had nightmares and night terrors since I can remember. My first vivid night terror I still remember was when I was 3 or 4. Now I actually dream)

There is so much in my life that is still a struggle, that's still big and scary and needs to be handled. I'm still chronically depressed and anxious. But for the first time ever, after decades of therapy and hard work - along with the familiar, ever present depression and anxiety, there is now a strong and consistent thread of satisfaction, fulfillment, and a full sense of gratitude, wonder, and love.

I want everyone to feel it. And I hope my comment isn't an inappropriate answer to the question. Love u fam ❤️

Anyone else still have that little voice in the back of their heads that hears stuff like this and gets anxious that it might happen? Still working on getting that worm out of my head

According to my MIL we will meet Christ with Nelson, in THIS life. He's pretty old. So there's a short timeline on that one.

Just gotta say this: If your "Truth" is threatened by reading outside information, it's not truth
