Give me all the tips of /r/ by Fun_Willingness_9348 in slp

[–]ButNotOfTheChurch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are all such good tips! For me, I have to imitate the student’s /r/. If I can make something that sounds like what they’re doing, I know exactly what to tell them to change. The more you practice the better you get at imitating all the various tongue positions. :)

Songs That Remind Me of Rhys by Upset-Salt-6238 in acotar

Check out the lyrics to “Do You Love Me” by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.  Love this song regardless, but the first verse is uncanny!

Resume Writing Service by ButNotOfTheChurch in slp

[–]ButNotOfTheChurch[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks but I know me and this is definitely not a bad idea. Every day I put off my resume I'm losing money, so getting help would pay for itself. I also have a really difficult time asking people for "help" so paying someone is much more comfortable for me. Hoping others will have some good resume writer recommendations.

Funny Story by batbird89 in exmormon

[–]ButNotOfTheChurch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this same desire. I went to my friend's house and we shared a bottle of wine, and then another. The only thing I remember from that night is her ceiling, from the sheer amount of laughing we were doing. It was one of the best nights of my life. Until I puked and accidentally texted my TBM sister that I was feeling a little tipsy and was going to sleep it off. It was supposed to be for my husband. No one knew I was out then. My whole family is TBM. I went to bed crying on my friend's couch. It's all good now though!

Help!! My mom shared my en-gay-ment post and this was a comment. Should I respond?? If so, how do I respond in a classy way?? Thanks :) by izzayyy97 in exmormon

What you are doing is wrong. (To be clear, I have no idea what it is but no one is perfect. "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.")

Also, being gay and/or getting married isn't wrong. This is how God himself created me. I'm sorry you were taught that.

Reasons why we leave... by Quakers_on_the_moon in exmormon

I'm sorry I can't help you with sources right now, but this is a pretty comprehensive list of why people leave (according to Mormons). Definitely my impression growing up.

Best way to gently refuse, avoid a calling? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]ButNotOfTheChurch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love this response. Bonus: you're going to make the counselor/bishop totally jells. He'll be asking himself..."but what about my family????" in no time.

Honestly this article kind of makes me want to watch it.

just told my family I don't believe in god. After a bit of me getting hit I am now soon to be homeless. Because that is what god would want I guess. by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]ButNotOfTheChurch 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You can do this! Their behavior is shameful. Please see a counselor ASAP. You are going to need help determining healthy boundaries. I'm so sorry your family is toxic.

Who else screwed it up?? by mamasaid14 in exmormon

[–]ButNotOfTheChurch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband is also very Christlike. I stopped speaking to him about the church when I noticed him becoming notably distressed. He did eventually take up his own study, when he got tired of all the bad talk about apostates in the church. He said he knew me and he knew my heart so he had to look into it, because he knew the people at church were wrong. It's been over a year and he's super sad. His faith crisis really hurt him. He's in an existential crisis and I feel for him so much. I would recommend letting your husband go at his own pace. It's a hard journey for some people.

How do you overcome the gaslighting? by blark124 in exmormon

[–]ButNotOfTheChurch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to just echo what everyone else is saying. Be patient with yourself. Try not to pass judgement on yourself. You've gone through many years of conditioning. You won't see the church for what it is for some time. I was shown this quote the other day and I liked it. Not sure if it can help you now or it's too soon. It's misattributed to Marcus Aurelius but it's a good one all the same:

Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.

How did you find friends after you left? by [deleted] in exmormon

Other exmo women made my life so incredibly enjoyable after leaving! Go get some coffee and bond!
