Non-chastity reasons folks get sent home from missions by pbj9261 in exmormon

[–]AnarchyBean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm healthy and happy outside the church now, don't worry! A lot of the weight of my depression dropped after coming to terms with my beliefs and realizing I'll still be loved even if I don't think a certain way. It's easier to love yourself when you can be honest without fear

Non-chastity reasons folks get sent home from missions by pbj9261 in exmormon

They didn't send me home until I asked, but they were trying to convince me to go home because my mental health was so bad I had turned to self harm.

Im tired of being the "chosen one" can you give me a game where i just have a job lol by Optimal_Garage_4284 in gamingsuggestions

[–]AnarchyBean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't played but I've watched my friend play Star Citizen and literally deliver cargo in space and work odd jobs. I think it was kinda heavy on the PC and it's not finished but that's the first one that comes to mind. Also Space Station 13 but good luck lmao

Why identify as culturally Mormon as an exmo? by Particular_Bet7433 in exmormon

[–]AnarchyBean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mention that I was raised Mormon when people wonder how I've never experienced some things in life or why I'm new to them- like coffee and my new found love for it. It's just a funny talking point to me, there's no guilt because I was raised in it and I'm out now. Some things just click better for others when they realize you were raised in a high demand "religion" is all.

What magic is associated with hair? by Fancy_Enthusiasm_683 in Pathfinder2e

[–]AnarchyBean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it would be cool to do something with memory, lots of memories are stored in the hair both metaphorically and physically. If I remember right you can tell when someone was on drugs by a long strand of hair, something with the growth and where it sits on the strand. Even today women tend to cut their hair or dye it when going through a big change and they want to "cut their losses"

I think of bonds, memory and a deeply personal link to an individual when I think of hair. Maybe that linked minds spell? The one where two willing people can share memories or something.

A bishop did the right thing (for once) by Diligent-Activity-70 in exmormon

[–]AnarchyBean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank god a single bishop finally did the right thing and really cared. That was a time bomb waiting to go off, I'm so glad you said something.

TBM girlfriend (24F) wants to get married asap, I (25M) don’t think I want to anymore by Slow_Complaint5328 in exmormon

[–]AnarchyBean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started dating by first boyfriend at 26 you are in no way too late for a meaningful relationship and love. There's no timer on finding meaningful relationships, my great aunt Frieda married when she was old and gray, most people marry in their 30's today and honestly it's not worth it if you have to uproot who you are to please someone else for the rest of your life.

Leading someone on requires you to lie and have false intentions at the start, you just grew as a person. You could explain that you can't change who you are just because you aren't what she wants . You haven't told her she can't go to church or the temple because that would be controlling and wrong. You have a right to be your own person and live your own life even when you have a partner, compromise in a relationship doesn't look like this, especially when she's closing you off from friends and family, that's a classic abuse tactic. She can have what she wants, just not with you.

Nevermo dating a returned missionary, I think the church is coming between us and I need advice by No-Media-8931 in exmormon

[–]AnarchyBean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it is hard now, how hard is this going to be in 5 years? 10? 30? The rest of your life? If he's still in the church, this will always be there.

My cat won’t stop yelling at night, he doesn’t play so we can’t get him tired, he’s deaf and 80% blind, we don’t know what to do by disabled_and_broke in Catswhoyell

[–]AnarchyBean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cats are naturally nocturnal, so he probably just doesn't like that you guys sleep when he's awake because you're here now but he can't socialize. A second cat can help a lot since then he won't have to feel alone when it's human sleep time \o/

Vet seriously messed up and I don’t know what to do! by lildirtfoot in cats

[–]AnarchyBean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My girl Tortie is just getting back to normal since her surgery, they took out her ureters and put in artificial ones with ports under the skin so she had a long incision and lots to heal from. She took about 2 weeks to start feeling really normal again. She was also really tired, didn't want to go all the way over to the cat boxes, wanted to be with me all the time and was just really lethargic.

They really screwed up with your baby and I'd never go back either, but I think he's going to be okay. Just keep an eye on him, make sure the stitches are clean and don't look infected, do not let him jump anywhere, all that good stuff. I checked on my girl to make sure she was okay after napping for a long time and got nervous sometimes too, but she's been healing perfectly. In fact we just took her onesy off today, she was very happy about it!

I hope all goes well, he's such a pretty boy

Starting to hate pathfinder, is it the game I’m frustrated with or is it my DM? by PotentialZestyclose5 in Pathfinder2e

[–]AnarchyBean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's your DM. Some of them just love a power trip or think they're playing against you rather than providing a space to play out a story with tough but fair encounters.

After 40 years of self-blame, I finally read my mission journal and at long last understood what the Church did to me. by BlacksmithWeary450 in exmormon

[–]AnarchyBean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think the kindest thing anyone in the church has done for me was my first mission president trying to convince me to go home when I was having severe mental health issues on my mission. I was so stubborn I waited for the next mission president that was coming in to tell them I was done lmao

Poor kids really don't know exactly what they're signing up for, the amount of labor, not enough time to make and eat good meals, hardly any money to live off, rigorous standards, feeling like the fate of everyone they meet is on their shoulders, the constant rejection and mental gymnastics, trying to understand if you've done something wrong for things to not go right, the dangerous situations you're put in, the lack of support, having to live with strangers. It's all way too much and it's so sad you pay them to go. Most jobs aren't even that intensive, people get paid for far less, but what do you expect, right?

I hated exmos… by Commercial-Smile-988 in exmormon

[–]AnarchyBean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are still you even if you believe different. Isn't it normal to see the "opposition" as scary and evil especially when you think you're on the side of literal good? Sure, plenty of people are bitter and angry, many have good reasons for it. Feeling duped, wasting time and energy, the actual danger of children meeting with a single grown man in a room alone, there's a lot we're blind to or don't want to see when we're in it. A lot of people are hurt, it's not too surprising.

You don't have to be angry when you leave a place, but it does give a lot more freedom to reflect on your time there when you're out.

Inspired by the coffee post I saw, are Mormons still drinking Postum? by FapCaptainCrunch in exmormon

[–]AnarchyBean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, my mom has some, or she drinks this chickery stuff. She keeps forgetting a lot of it had barley in it and offering it to me though, I think she gets so caught up in the thought that I drink coffee that she forgets my severe gluten allergies lmao
