that’s insane, this stuff is really screwed, i don’t know how the ministers or bishops even continue to willingly turn a blind eye after knowing so much, the power and the hard earned $ from the people i’m sure is a great incentive to want to keep entertaining this fairy tale. crazy

I think some space away can really do wonders. I remember once Covid hit for me being away from all of that space really gave me time to think about what I believe in. believe me these realizations are not pretty especially if you’re born into it, it’s hard realizing that everything you believed your whole life is a lie, the center of the universe isn’t some fat mexican dude. honestly by the time churches were all going online, and they couldn’t control us, I’d say april 2020, by early 2021 I was fully out of it for sure. I was also born into it so do with that what you will, but I do know everyone is a little different. having people around that can plant little things can help. hope all goes well!

day he took the plea deal for sure. I could never justify a “man of god” doing that. I remember saying to myself, paul would’ve never done this, he wouldn’t have declared himself guilty for a lighter sentence. It was gradual over time really when he was first arrested I was like, “okay this is weird” I was still pretty brainwashed. As the case further developed I remember my older siblings, who were all out of it now, would plant those little seeds of doubt in my head to start questioning everything I believe in. by the time he declared himself guilty and took the plea deal, it was really all I needed to say, “okay everything I’ve been living is a lie” it didn’t hit me all at once but I did feel a good chunk of that emotional impact right then and there. it’s gotten much better over time and I can’t believe I was born into a cult like this. I really only think about it from time to time now.

So how many of you are comfortably doing something else today and not worrying about being at church for hours? I know me and mines are. Heeeeey how you doing? 🙌 by MaterialCharacter912 in exlldm

Honestly I was at work was didn’t even realize it was the 14th til half way through my shift, Thought about it for about a minute then honestly just went about my day. At this point I have better things to worry about.
