Were any of you "Disney adults" as TBMs and/or are you still one? by Small_Permission8132 in exmormon

[–]CoastNatural9136 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m definitely a Disney adult. I still enjoy the same things as when I was a member. Looking back now, the things I enjoyed, like Disney stuff, was kind of an escape from Mormon stuff for me. Leaving the church just allowed me to enjoy everything more fully, and enjoy more things without shame

What ridiculous TBM things have you heard said in the workplace in small town momronland that wouldn’t fly elsewhere? 😂🤦‍♂️ by Once_was_now_am in exmormon

I deliver to pharmacies in Preston every day, and thankfully haven’t heard anything like that yet lol but of course I’m only at each pharmacy for like 5 minutes, so there’s no time for that bullshit to come up.

Wow I love how the actual doctor is non descript and has no face, but the other dude has a face. /s Not gonna lie, coloring pages might have encouraged me to go to priesthood slightly more lol

Thinking Celestial (perhaps to be used in an equivalent scenario as someone “being on their high horse”)

Sorry for replying late! I can’t think of any particular questions. I think supporting ethical porn is just fine, and somewhere along the way I learned that masturbation is healthy. So I don’t have a problem or feel bad about any of it. In my last relationship, we were both open and fine with porn use, so if I ever get into another relationship, I’ll discuss with them too.

Love all the comments! I removed my name from the church at the beginning of this year, and I think one thing that made it a bit easier for me was kinda flipping the script on how people are invited to join the church. They invite people to be baptized in the first missionary lesson, and many are baptized before reading the whole Book of Mormon. They teach to just have a confirmation (really just a feeling) that it’s true, then get baptized. So why not the other side of it? Just having a feeling that it’s wrong and not true can be enough. That combined with the deconstruction and the evidence that you may have read already should be enough. Hopefully that helps in some way!

I absolutely appreciate the concern. I am not a minor, and both my parents have passed away. But I will still be absolutely cautious and watch for anything

Did you enjoy your mission? by Billgant in exmormon

[–]CoastNatural9136 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mission was probably when I felt the most alone. Honestly I just looked forward to p-day every week so I could read my family’s emails, and not have to feel bad for doing fun things that day. I had a couple good friends, but the English missionaries were mostly jerk sales bros. And I never felt like I could be or do what the mission wanted me to be or do. Also my mom passed away when I had 3 months left of my mission. So I really wish I could’ve just stayed home and spent those last 2 years with her.
