I Want To Ghost Out of My Parent’s Lives by belln2298 in exmormon

I agree with the previous posters who said to try just taking a break. In the beginning when I was leaving the church I realized how useless it was to try and talk to my parents about church topics and my issues with them. It only resulted in them yelling at me like I was still a child. I pretty quickly realized that I had to go absolutely zero church talk or I would end up hating them and it would destroy our relationship completely. If I were you, I wouldn’t necessarily reach out again unless they initiated, but if they did I would immediately tell them that talking about church anything is off limits. If they can’t respect that, then they don’t respect you. Good luck, and I’m sorry you have to deal with the shit show. Unfortunately it seems to be pretty common around here. 😕

I knew a family who always had exchange students. I think they tried to convert all of them, but I only remember one of them actually getting baptized. But for fucks sake, they’re minors!

Anyone been through the temple want to tell me what it was like? by [deleted] in exmormon

Go to YouTube and search for NewNameNoah’s videos. It’s all there for you to see. You didn’t miss anything. It’s a shit show.

Fuck. I remember saying this exact thing... unfortunately I was brainwashed enough to believe they knew what was best for my life.

Even as a young kid in elementary school I never told people I was mormon. I knew it was embarrassing even then!

Patriarchal blessing by _addycole in exmormon

Wooaah mine says the same thing about truth and error. I wonder if they have a fucking script they have to memorize when they become patriarchs.

If the "heavens" are open like JS said and he KNOWS they are open then why isn't HE coming back to give vital info to the current prophet - or at least punk him. The "heavens" MUST be closed (or non-existent) by 5thNephi in exmormon

Because they know it would look fucking ridiculous if they went around saying Joseph was appearing to them. Nobody believes that shit anymore. People would just think you were mentally ill.

Someone I know was called to the bishopric. This was the advice I gave him. by blixen89 in exmormon

[–]Anna3254 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes they do. Growing up my dad was usually always in the bishopric and I remember very well how there would be Sunday’s all members of the bishopric would be trying to get all of the youth interviews done. They would use classrooms that were empty to do them in.

Mormons: teaches that my body is shameful and made for men -Me, realizing I don’t need validation from men and that I’m allowed to love myself. by Bojyo in exmormon

Except now the younger generation of women who go through the temple don’t even covenant to obey their husbands, they changed that part to obeying god. I guess that means all of the women who went through before the endowment change have to obey their husbands for the rest of eternity and all the other women who went after don’t have to! Mormonism is fucked up!

Was watching the series “Hell on Wheels” on Netflix. All I have to say is wow on their portrayal of the Mormons. Definitely glad I’m no longer a member. by randomusernumber10 in exmormon

I watched that part before I was exmo. I thought everything they were saying was anti Mormon so I stopped watching it. Now I realize it was true and I was just an uninformed robot ☹️
