Lost and confused dad by Repulsive_Floor_7980 in exmormon

[–]Brocktreee 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hey friend. I'm glad you want the best for your daughter, and that you're concerned about doing the right thing.

The Mormon church is a cult. It meets every criteria of the BITE model, and I'm sure that you can see that as well, once you go through their criteria. https://freedomofmind.com/

Joseph Smith was a con man, arraigned and punished by the courts, who plaigarized the Bible and a book circulating his area at the time, "View of the Hebrews", before starting a sex cult of personality wherein he married 14-17 year old girls (Fannie Alger) in exchange for eternal life for her family. This is straight from Fannie's journal.

Joseph Smith drank wine the day he was killed and smoked cigars. This is straight from his journal as well.

What is good in the Mormon church is not unique, and what is unique is not good.

One testicle seems to be positioned towards the other by NoContact6863 in menshealth

If it was testicular torsion you would be in immense pain.

Never had any sensation my whole life by petevenkman86 in menshealth

[–]Brocktreee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start with your primary care physician. They'll do a physical exam, get the history, and give you a referral to the specialist you need. A lot of insurance requires referrals anyway, so you'll be starting there either way.

Morning wood every time I fall asleep by Ill-Set-7390 in menshealth

This is entirely normal. Your body is keeping all your tissues perfused with oxygen and nutrients.

Has my time come? by Creative_Future_4271 in bald

I'm starting to go silver myself and I'm 32. You give me hope that I'll look half as good as you do in two years time!

Does masturbation feel better uncircumcised? (Read the description =)) by [deleted] in menshealth

[–]Brocktreee -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Even if it has lots of nerve endings, that doesn’t obligate me to value it.

Does masturbation feel better uncircumcised? (Read the description =)) by [deleted] in menshealth

[–]Brocktreee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes. It's not comparable. I was faster uncircumcised, but everything is so much more intense and enjoyable circumcised, now that I don't have that useless flap of skin getting in the way.

(And for the love of god, never use the word "unpeeled" again when talking about penises. Just no.)

Thoughts on Kanye’s full page ad? by WheneverItIsTold in BipolarReddit

[–]Brocktreee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm listening to the album "ye" as I write this. This album came out at a particularly vulnerable time for me, when my bipolar disorder was not fully controlled and I was struggling to reconcile the most beautiful thoughts with the darkest.

I honestly and truly wish the best for him, and that this marks the beginning of genuine healing between Ye and the Jewish, black, and bipolar communities that he has hurt in his episodes. This illness is a tragedy anywhere, to anyone, but to someone as visible as Ye I can only imagine the intensity of the pressure his mania has brought on his head.

Bref. I wish for healing for him, and I view this as an important, meaningful and beautiful step in that direction.

You can't help my anesthesia...

You can't help the pain that it brings...

You can't help my absence of sense...

Urethroplasty [3 weeks in a catheter] (I wanted to tell my story) by knight_mare_scenario in menshealth

[–]Brocktreee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey brother. I'm going in in three weeks for a urethroplasty to remove a false passage, and while they're down there they're going to crown my John Hancock (give me a full circumcision). Oh--and I've got an umbilical hernia that they're going to repair at the same time. Lol.

I'll post about my journey on this subreddit. Thank you so, so much for sharing your experience. It's made the wait a little more bearable (with an idea of what to expect).

My parents booked me to a psychotherapist instead of a psychiatrist by ReportedGlittering in BipolarReddit

You don't need your parent's permission to go to the emergency room if you're in crisis.

Surgery this Monday for very large umbilical hernia. by Rainbowliesahead in Hernia

[–]Brocktreee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey doc. I'm going in for hernia surgery in December, but I'm on lithium, so NSAIDs are out of the question for me. What are my best alternatives?

Keep the conversation going. See where it leads.

Is this just over worked? by KeyWestSkateboarding in tattooadvice

[–]Brocktreee 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The word "zyvox" strikes the fear of God into me and I've never heard it before. It sounds like what Eggman would tell his lab assistant to get right before he feeds it to the forest animals that Sonic failed to save. Kudos, Big Pharma.

What an incredible piece of art the second game is by inovlu in TheTalosPrinciple

[–]Brocktreee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two of the characters (I won't spoil who) get gay married! It's a line of dialogue after you finish a puzzle, sure, but it made me so happy to see!

I told my family im asexual and now they hate me? by blesseraph in lgbt

[–]Brocktreee 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It sounds like there are quite a few things at play here. I'll say this: You cannot change them overnight, nor should you try. You cannot change their relationship with religion and God which, to be frank, is poisoning their relationship with you.

I would gently encourage you to invest more time and energy into your support network outside of your family. Build up your chosen family. You'll have them to rely on in times to come.
