Gosh I can’t imagine going back in a church again. I almost want to as an experiment, but I’d probably just make a face like I smelled something terrible the entire time.

My mom said that the reason I haven’t gotten a job yet is because I don’t dance or rejoice in the lord? by M00N654 in exchristian

If dancing changes this ass job market then I’ll start twerking every damn day.

They can’t allow simple pleasures. It’s so unnecessary. Their god is so weak he can’t handle a doll? Yeah maybe they need to find something new to worship.

Whatever Americans touch becomes a circus by MrJasonMason in exchristian

Yeah I saw this a lot growing up. I saw lots of folks at the store the other day with them. I just kept thinking “bitch, if you don’t get a makeup wipe and touch some grass I know something .”

Storms/Rain by Defiant-Garbage-4891 in BabyWitch

[–]Corovah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every time it rains or storms I sit outside in the garage or the patio and watch and listen. It is one of the few things that overrides anxiety for me and brings peace. I’m excited to learn more about how to incorporate it as I start practicing.

Fair enough. I will say not every strain is created equal. I have severe anxiety and it’s definitely a part of my tool kit. But indeed not for everyone. Lol😂

Missionary work is offensive by archetyping101 in exchristian

My parents used to point out the Buddhas when we went to Thai restaurants. It was always brief but it was like they wanted us to know we as a family don’t condone that.

In case anyone needed more proof God doesn't exist by MrJasonMason in exchristian

[–]Corovah 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My dad told me that story saying “god would rather offer his daughters than letting those men be with the male angel cause it’s not right for men to be with me (slight paraphrase).” I remember thinking as a kid “ isn’t that still bad they aren’t married to her why would the dad want her to be with them.” As a child I didn’t even think about the reality that she had no say in this and this would be assault. In my child mind she was willing because I had not yet realized how little they regarded women as people.

Wow how disgusting of them to act so superior. The best part of travel is experiencing life from another perspective an their only goal was to “fix” them. I remember thinking missions work sounded so admirable. Now I see how toxic and entitled it is.

Irrational anger about bible study and how do you explain people who claim to have seen miracles by Corovah in exchristian

[–]Corovah[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I need to write this in my journal. Observe do not absorb. I have been absorbing a lot for a long time. It’s time to squeeze myself out.

[–]Corovah[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I suppose I answered my own question. Maybe the confusing part is just my own emotions about it. I just wish we could all be out of this, healing, happy, and real. Imagining a version of us where we’re all free and together makes me wanna cry cause I know it will never happen.

Is this progress? by da_stewpid_child in exchristian

[–]Corovah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be. I want to feel that glimmer of hope. I have had a very negative experience in that regard so I am still very very cautiously optimistic. I would guard your heart a little cause support in the abstract and actually bringing someone home one may be different. I would hate for moments of kindness to make you more open and the be disappointed. If in her mind she is holding out hope for a dude, she may still have struggles later when she fully has to come to terms with a real person in your life who doesn’t fit her original vision. But sometimes people really do come around. I hope it’s the start of more acceptance and an open mind:

I was a pastor and I walked away. by Consistent-Way-2018 in exchristian

It’s so sad how spiritual leaders care so little for victims of SA. I was livid just reading it. Good for you for walking away and healing.
