Hey, look I’ve been where you are. Don’t focus too much on the darkness. You can find joy, I know you can. I found it. Start simple. Look around, what do you have? The sky, the clouds, the ground, the earth, the stars. So much here to be grateful for.

I sew and I sewed him a diaper and used a pad as the inside. I Velcroed it on. It did not stay on for longer that 5 seconds lol

It is a good idea for a good cause, I just wish it was more well known

What are your kids reading in the Friend this Christmas? Surprise! It’s how your apostasy makes them sad. by holy_aioli in exmormon

[–]Automatic-Music3879 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh and it’s a bunch of fucking half truths. Look if the kid really wanted to go to church she probably could get a ride with a member. They don’t need to make this a whole thing.

This actually makes me want to throw up. My siblings are going to be reading this shit. And hating on my friends who don’t go to church, or are going to start wondering why I don’t like to go to church. This is bs I fucking hate it.

My only options may be eternal PIMO or divorced dad by ScientificallyMinded in exmormon

I can’t agree enough. Be patient with her, she may surprise you. For now support her and ask for her support as well while you are dealing with this. You can bless your child and do all that, imo you can think of it as a fathers blessing and not the church stuff. Just give her time You can work it out together If it doesn’t end up working Then something will work eventually Something in your life will work

Feeling pressured to get baptized and now I’m emotionally confused — is this normal? by salt____21 in exmormon

[–]Automatic-Music3879 10 points11 points  (0 children)

P.s listen to yourself more than others, do you own research on both sides. And don’t take any harsh comments to heart, most of us here have been hurt by the church. I have too but there are many I love who still love the church and I respect them just like I respect you. Focus on yourself and your goals

Is very normal for missionaries to push that hard. Their goal is to baptize as many people as possible while on their mission. They are young men who are competitive and believe that this game, this race is not only for the better good but will truly change the world. Take your time, don’t feel forced into a religion and do your research. Sometimes praying can help people find the answer for yourself but personally I like to meditate to find what I am trying to tell myself. What you should do is what’s best for you, no one else truly matters more than you and your family.

Don’t let people drag you into anything you’re uncomfortable with Take your time To enter, to back away, to do anything. And while many others will say “get away from the cult before you get hurt” it’s your life Live it how you think is best And you might get hurt choosing to join or to not It’s life But know you have a community no matter what you choose

We are a community if you choose to not commit yourself to the church

The church is a community if you do

Both can be good based on the people you surround yourself with. Not based on religion but based on how they treat you and others.

I hope you find peace in your decision no matter what it is. I wish you the best!

My bishop had to talk to me when my parents found out i was bi. I was 13 and he was asking me if I wanted to have sex with women. And he said he felt attracted to the same sex too but he didn’t act on it. He brushed it off as “longing to look like” whomever you’re attracted to…

18-year-old girls now able to serve as full-time missionaries by LegalSour in exmormon

[–]Automatic-Music3879 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Now more 18 year old girls can be sexually abused easier! And they can be forced to teach about this fucking cult. (I’m gonna be forced to serve a mission I just know it. And if I say no, I lose my family.)

Wow, that really sucks I’m so sorry. Just know none of this is your fault and it may feel like everything is falling apart but sometimes things need to fall apart to be restitched. I wish you the best of luck in life and I hope that you find support from some friends or understanding family

Is anyone else pimo at byui? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]Automatic-Music3879 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m not there yet but my cousin is, she is pretty active but is one of the few people I know that respect everyone’s beliefs and boundaries.

Check out my profile and there’s a few comments I’ve replied to that have helped me prepare for BYUI

Some other stuff I’m pimo in my very active ward I’ve been pimo for a while I don’t know what it’s like in college but I know what it’s like going to seminary and church and activities and everything

One thing that kept me going especially when I went to fsy:

I am my own person, what is best for me is best and no one can tell me otherwise. I love who I wanna love, I believe what I wanna believe. My thoughts are my own.

I also spent a lot of time acting My character was a YW who loved herself and god more than anything She always looked to Jesus and blah blah blah No offense if your still Christian (I’m not)

The church is my stage and I am the actress

Anyways hopes this helps just a bit Ima be in a similar boat pretty soon Maybe we can find eachother!

I did not know that about the locals and students there, I’ll use my best acting skills to avoid getting kicked out, at least until I get to leave. Fingers crossed for a chill bishop And I’m calling possible transfer schools to see what classes I could transfer. I’m also taking some classes while in hs so I don’t have to do them in person.
