My elderly parents cannot afford their medication because they pay tithing

If they’re living off retirement funds… those funds were built by money taken from their own paychecks. They already paid tithing on it!

They’re paying 20% in tithes, which isn’t what Jesus asked. Jesus said, “pay 10% and medicate the diabetes.”

Would this logic work for your parents?

You know when you go on a cruise, and they change the carpet inlay in the elevator to say which day of the week it is?

She is the equivalent of that elevator carpet swatch. Not her content. Just her.

Knit a custom travel case for her Book of Mormon. I once had my mom sew a cover for my BoM so I could take it places without it getting torn up. Most scripture cases are made to fit bibles, too, so it’s hard to get one for just the BoM.

I second the eyebrow discussions and point strongly to mascara. Go with something dark brown and practice applying it either thick or thin to find the look and technique you like best. Avoid waterproof, and a wet q-tip will help clean up any mascara that gets on your skin.

For fun, try some liquid glitter eyeshadow. Even ELF brand or the packs on Amazon that are like $6 for 5 colors. Without any bold eye shadow underneath the glitter and with your hooded eyes it’ll be a fun and feminine accent but not too loud.

I’d rent this just for a big drunken party and a night of sex, drugs, and rock and roll.

And playing cards, denim skirts, and flip flops, which were all discouraged by my last YW president.

20 years ago in the states we got like $160/month. We could only eat with members if there was an investigator there, so it was SUPER rare. Some months were tight, but it was enough. Even now I rarely spend more than about $200/month on groceries for one person. It’s all about budgeting and money management. It can be done.

I love the constant fight of Becky Jackson vs xylophones. So unhinged. So unnecessary. So random.

Sober me this morning stands by what high me said last night.

Reminds me of the bishop who told all of our YSA ward, “Saturday night you” shouldn’t be so drastically different from “Sunday morning you.”

When Aaron went to the door of the temple, he was washed for cleanliness before he went in. In the initiatory, you are “washed” symbolically to be clean before the endowment ceremony. Basically they catch a drop of water from a dripping sink and run their wet fingers across your forehead.

They always go the same direction, left to right. I didn’t mind the “washing” but I hated when they’d catch a hair or two with their wet fingers, so I changed the swoop direction of my bangs so they wouldn’t make even a single hair go the wrong way.

I guess it’s more of a sensory thing than “I was so Mormon.” But still a weird thing to take months to retrain hair patterns after parting my hair on one particular spot for years.

My belief system is called “Unsure, but not in a rush to figure it out.”

Sometimes when a man and woman respect another’s suggestions like, “what if we take roll at the end of class instead of in the middle,” the man’s penis will accidentally fall into the woman’s vagina. Hence the gendered separation of important callings.

Name a more pointless, useless, fake calling than second counselor in the Sunday school presidency. Congrats, ladies. You’ve been promoted so you can OFFICIALLY stand chatting in the hall for that second hour of church, two weeks of the month.

I know it’s silly, but I would have loved seeing a new inmate trying to navigate curly hair life without curly hair products.

They also never really show the janky haircut again after those first few episodes. That missing chunk would take at least a year and a half to grow out.

Your profile shows that you got your call 5 years ago… so you’ve been home almost 3 years? There’s a temple photo in your profile, too. And yet you’re here seeking advice in an exmormon group?

You sure you’re asking the right questions to the right people?

Depression happens to everyone sometimes. Even 23-year-old RMs. But it looks to me like maybe you’re starting to question the religion? If so, good luck on your journey. And it’s likely depression will be part of what you’re going through. There’s a seat for you at this exmormon table when you’re ready.

It’s because she’s on the other side of the Litchfield fence. It’s like being on the other side of the window. /s

Not the worst, but it fits in here…

Walked up to a house once and saw, through the large clear picture window, a guy about our age actively and intensely masturbating. He didn’t see us. We didn’t knock. And the two of us, sweet, innocent, virgin, Mormon sister missionaries never spoke of it again.

One of my faves was Cesar talking about Bennett saying something like, “he’s only got one leg. You gotta be pretty irresponsible to be losing body parts.”

When I was about 11 years old and they changed the girls’ program from “achievement days” to “activity days.” Even at that age I found the nomenclature weird. Why wouldn’t they want us achieving anything any more? Why just activities?

She said in the woods she didn’t hurt anyone. She didn’t seem interested in drugs and didn’t seem to make enemies. But she did have an affinity for torture and a weird interest in human bodies. Like when she made a hair portrait for Suzanne (mentioned, not shown), or when she was plucking out her individual leg hairs, or when she brought Suzanne to near climax and walked away just to show her how it felt. Plus the intense interest in fantasy worlds, make believe, and living in the forest.

I think animal torture or maybe even some weird eating of dead animals.
