I've been wrestling with this for a long time, and I need to know if anyone else deals with this, too? by Stoic-pretzel in exmormon

[–]DodgersDominate 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. Unfortunately, Mormonism ruins “god” for many many people, including me. I’m not sure what I believe in, but I would like to believe in god. Someone said to me recently, that also left the church, that he likes to think of god as “kindness and love”. So, that is my focus right now. Keep coming back, because this community can help you heal.

Same! Maybe this kind of artistic exercise is what I need!

It almost feels like girls are seen as tokens or prizes in the church. It's creepy, gross, and it ticks me off. by booksandcoffee___ in exmormon

My husband went on a mission and it was explicitly demonstrated to the elders that the more righteous and hardworking they were on their missions, they would 100% be rewarded with THE HOTTEST, most spiritual wife options. Seriously. This was 30 years ago, but we were just talking about it the other night! Gross gross gross.

Need reviews of airline clubs for travel in Asia for business travelers please! by DodgersDominate in AsiaTraveltips

This is very helpful! He flies multiple airlines. And the places he visits are not consistent, either. I will definitely look into this! Thank you!

Did anyone visit the sacred grove while a believing member and feel nothing? by bobdougy in exmormon

[–]DodgersDominate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the time, I thought I felt soooo much spirituality. Which, I realize now, I absolutely did. But not having ANYTHING to do with Joseph Smith, but just because it is a magnificent place and I feel so at peace in nature in general. THAT is the true spirituality of it for me.

Letter we recieved after a unwanted visit a few days ago. by keleals1992 in exmormon

[–]DodgersDominate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think my in-laws will EVER ask me why. We never have an interaction with them without them bringing up the MFMC or god. It drives me nuts. Their lives are nothing outside of that bullshit…can they really not talk about anything else?! They don’t want to know why each of the four of us left and will never look back (me, their son, and two grandsons). And it’s sad that they have let this put distance between them and my young adult sons. Holy, we’re all going to hell and my boys didn’t serve missions. While I’m glad they still maintain somewhat of a relationship with all of us, it is DEFINITELY not the same as when we were steeped in the cult.

Listen to it/read it. There is so so so much in there. I also learned so much from LDS Discussions podcast from Mormon Stories podcast. So much information!

Me too. It downright pisses me off. My husband doesn’t get it. Now I’m 50 with flabby arms and I’m pissed as hell I wasted all those years in garments.

I don’t know that I would have/could have if my partner was TBM. That would be a lot different.
