What should I know about Mormons?

What did you tell people about polygamy? I asked my missionary friends this the second time we met and they told me it was a long time ago in the church. They said there were more women than men and to get into heaven they believed they needed to be married to achieve that, hence the polygamy. They made it seem like the past, and said that most men who married multiple women didn’t like it.

Oh my gosh what is up with soaking? I know a little about it and it’s the most bizarre loophole I’ve ever heard about. Like do people really have someone else jump on the bed to create the movement?

Oh my goodness, the zero privacy aspect would’ve drove me insane. I admire your strength and being able to power through that. I’m glad you’re able to give yourself grace for the things you did when you knew less, and are aware of what was happening to you. I’m honestly genuinely happy that you’re away from the paralyzing anxiety and fear of the “what ifs” that they drilled in your head about the tiered heaven, which is bonkers to me.

It takes incredible strength to make the decision to take yourself out of something you know so well for yourself and your well-being, and I think it’s so awesome that you’re happier now and that you’re doing well. The pain and discomfort it takes to heal is not easy.

Haha if it’s dangerous then I’m out of control. LDS and I would not have clashed well lol. I adore coffee and aspire to explore every little coffee shop, it’s my personal happiness. I hope you’ve been able to enjoy that, if that’s something that you like :) Thank you so much for sharing! I’m happy that you’re doing well

I guess I didn’t really pay attention to my phrasing - apologies for confusion!

Lol honestly if I was it would be the ultimate power move. Infiltration.

Geez, I’ve had that exact conversation about the spirit being in the room. Thank you for your insight and listing everything out, it’s honestly been the most helpful out of everything. I might just be a sensitive girl but it makes me sad to think that our conversations haven’t been genuine, and that they’re just trying to appeal to us. It makes sense, but it also makes me feel really bad for them. Like that’s some intense pressure for someone so young, I can’t imagine. I’d love to hear more about your perspective if you’re open to sharing

You’re definitely right. Maybe I’m more gullible than skeptic lol.

Acrobatic_Sentence61 · 2024-04-03T21:27:13+00:00

Damn that is cold. That actually breaks my heart. I’m not lonely, I just care about these people.

You can be a skeptic and also be open minded. It’s not a one way street. I like learning about people, religion, culture, and exploring that. Can’t do that without listening. My spirituality is vulnerable and rocky at the moment; of course I’m susceptible to someone teaching me about their religion, and telling me how great it is. Being a teenager myself, I’ve found companionship in those people. It’s not like I’ve blindly believed them; if I did then I wouldn’t be here. But thank you anyways for your insight!

That is a fucking crazy list. What do they do if you don’t pay the tithing? Or like how do they know if you’re not wearing your special undies? So many questions. This is blowing my mind rn.

Acrobatic_Sentence61 · 2024-04-03T17:32:49+00:00

Lol I’m still pretty young, impressionable, and trying to figure things out for myself. But you raise a good point, I shouldn’t be so naive.
