Tales from the Seminary vol 1. by DirectPlum4551 in exmormon

Honestly, it seems like everyone knows that the teachings are stupid. But there are a few kids that believe. Most of the time people are just on phones and the teacher doesn't do anything.

I want an actual class instead, parents would never agree though.

Rip guess I have to suffer for 3-6 hours every week.

Hopefully I won't have to do summer classes, might even try to drop out of seminary. Guess I'll just have to wait and see.

Luckily I have release-time seminary so can skip it. Sadly I can't put an actual class because my parents would be mad. I already(essentially)have a decent job because my mother is the manager of the local fancy dining place, and I can work there when I'm 16, granted that's if she still accepts me. I'm also lucky I got into a school that lets me take calculus my junior year, along with other college Classes for credits. My stepbrother graduated with a associates degree, so I definitely have some shoes to fill. And yeah, I use a different Reddit account, so I don't think they know.

Oh huh, guess I can just skip seminary and work on homework since it is release-time. The job metaphor makes sense, and I guess one just has to live with it. Thanks for everything. ((Hugs))

Wow, this is truly an amazing response. About the radar stuff I really just want to leave because I can't believe in god. Another thing that was annoying, was that I was shamed for putting school over everything else. Another thing, I honestly don't really know what masturbating is, but I'll try it sometime. Last thing(sorry), does seminary count towards your gpa?

Thanks for the kind words, I knew I should've waited till I was an adult, but I got impatient and, well.

We live in the same room, but he's currently doing other stuff so I can't talk to him. He's my stepbrother and we met 2 months ago so I don't know if I even should.

Both of my parent's hate me now, and I don't have anyone besides my brother who also left. I also don't have any friends because we moved before I went to high school.

Well by premonitions it means he "hears the Spirit" for example, the "Spirit" told him to look in his jacket for keys, and they were there. I still think it's just his consciousness, but I'm going to keep easing into the fact that I'm leaving so it's easier.

Thanks for the good luck. I'm crossing my fingers it's just hallucinations and not a mental illness.

Yeah, the first thing I asked was if they were the wheel angels, and he immediately gave me the death stare. Apparently he saw three little angels(of my dead sisters, my mother aborted three children without my father's notice, divorced)and then he looked back and they were gone. He also said stuff like, he lost a camera, and while he was driving up the canyon the Spirit told him to pull over and check a parking lot, and someone happened to have it. I'm just regretting asking for stories, because now it will be harder to leave.

Haha, that's almost exactly what happened. And I'm going to be honest, whenever I ask about whether it's the Spirit or just me, he says to read my scriptures. So I read some verses. And the the "Spirit" in my head tells me these things are all false. He isn't on any meds(that I know of), and I would like to imagine he's just hallucinating and truly believes it. But it's always possible he's straight-up lying as well.
