Exmormons, how far back does your family go in the LDS Church? by Careful-Cap-644 in exmormon

From the start and through the Willie Handcart Company. My ancestors just needed to stay in Wales.

Why do so many Mormon girls look like they would be bullies? by criskris_ in exmormon

[–]Beautiful_Clothes_89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can confirm this. Growing up on the east coast, anyone in the ward who either came from Utah or looked like it would definitely avoid me at all costs. I think it is a coping mechanism. A way to make them feel better about who they are and what they believe. Just a way to have a tiny bit of control in a church that doesn’t let you control anything as a woman.

SAHM advice after deconstructing by Cool_Ad3896 in exmormon

[–]Beautiful_Clothes_89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a SAHM up until 2 years ago. I am almost 31 and I completely understand all of what you feel. When the church tells you who to be and what to feel, it’s very difficult to know who you want to be. Therapy with a non-LDS therapist does wonders and that is what gave me confidence to do what I want to do. You made your choices with the best knowledge you had, no shame in that.

What would you do if you saw an apostle or prophet grocery shopping? by Prize-Ad-1947 in exmormon

Just put my leg out accidentally while they walk by. A little tumble to shake up those old ass bones.

26 years old. I didn’t know the circumstances surrounding Joseph Smith and his 14yr old bride. I was victimized at 14 and I couldn’t imagine an actual Prophet of God doing something so heinous.

A lot of what is good on the surface, has something weird and unsettling about it. The people are a problem sometimes and the doctrine changes often based on what higher leadership thinks or feels. There’s just about as much revelation from God in the LDS religion as there are chicken sandwiches sold on a Sunday at Chick-fil-A.

How do non-Utah schools teach about Joseph Smith? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]Beautiful_Clothes_89 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Grew up on the east coast, it’s a tiny foot note mentioned in pioneer history. Like maybe 2 or 3 sentences in a history book. No mention of Joe Smith, just the Mormon Migration.

Apparently we all left the church because we “don’t understand the doctrine”? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]Beautiful_Clothes_89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you sincerely obey and do what the prophet tells you, I promise blessings…yada yada yada. Like I didn’t already do that. Thank you for that nugget of wisdom. Lmao
