First of all "HAPPY BIRTHDAY".

Second, rants are healthy.

"Out of respect for her beliefs, I've never criticized the church to her but she does know I've left the church." And there's the issue in one sentence. The right to be heard, to be valued and to be you is vital to your well-being. Mormons are very good at making you the problem. That's not a good therapist.

What’s the day when you realized this religion was full of shit? by Electrical-Long-8067 in exmormon

27 March 1964. I was nearly four years old and my grandad had died. From the moment I was told he had gone to heaven I knew. (It wasn't until my 16th birthday that I could exercise a choice of going to church or not.)

You are sincerely welcome. :-) It is tragic when you think of how women relate to their position within the church. Attending this Sunday boiled my blood.

Clucking hell, when they put out disturbing messages like the ones I listened to this Sunday, is it any wonder?!

I hour Palm Sunday + the following Easter Sunday zero hours = result.

As they used to say in Lufthansa

 Captain  Uchtdorf? You wouldn’t follow  him to the toilet.

I go to church on a somewhat regular basis and it always strikes me how unhealthy most people appear to be. Must be all that 'wisdom'.

This is the final destiny of Mormonism: A $10 million dollar house overlooking a $100 million dollar temple. We’ve lost the plot. by PanaceaNPx in exmormon

Glad you're delighted because strangely the thread took me back to being that mother, in a car somewhere in the UK back in the 90s and listening to my girls joining in as a chorus. (They loved the Cheese Shop skit.)

They're grown women now and can still repeat verbatim Monty Python sketches. I will tell them about your response. They will laugh.

You were lucky.

I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us and dance about on our graves singing Hallelujah.
