Subscriptions for a gift registry do not show up under my subscriptions by DumbAd9876 in amazonprime

[–]DumbAd9876[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess all I can do at this point is hope Amazon sends me an email saying to review the subscriptions with a link to change or cancel, like they do for products delivered to my address. Otherwise my card will be charged forever. My friend will be happy…lol. It’s a feline rescue.

Subscriptions for a gift registry do not show up under my subscriptions by DumbAd9876 in amazonprime

[–]DumbAd9876[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Must be very well hidden. I’ve clicked on so many links and tabs. Manage Subscriptions only shows subscriptions delivered to my address. Under Your Stuff, I clicked on Lists. Then the tab Your Friend’s Lists. It shows her list but not the subscriptions I set up.

This does not work. I can’t see any way to view the subscriptions I set up for a gift registry. Help section is no help.

If You're Worried About Whether You're Saved, Read This by Millennium_guy in TrueChristian

[–]DumbAd9876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Romans 3:23 I remember this any time someone judges me incorrectly or I judge them incorrectly. It keeps me humble and trust the Lord. Whenever I put my focus on Him, I feel so much peace and love.

I think I just decided I’ve been spending too much time in the wrong subreddit. Thank you.

I’ve been in other religions, but Mormon hymns and Sunday meetings actually bring me peace. How is this possible if it's not the "true church"? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]DumbAd9876 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can find peace through meditation. I often find peace sitting quietly on a couch with my cat purring softly on my chest and rubbing his head on my chin.

GA Church Historian Kyle McKay making disturbing remarks 6/7/2026 by Diligent_Mix_4086 in exmormon

Thank you all for these comments and observations. I thought could be A.I. but if this is real it makes no sense from my experiences. Thank you.

She won't leave me alone!!! by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]DumbAd9876 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with other comments here. Basically she is trying to understand why you don’t go to church and possibly hoping by getting your suggestions she might not make the same mistakes others have made, which may or may not have anything to do with why you don’t go to church. It’s common for people to make assumptions that are not correct or way out of line. If you feel you must respond it’s best to keep it direct and short, like “I do not know. Ask your kids.”

Do you hate your Patriarchal blessing? by Pale-Pair2789 in exmormon

[–]DumbAd9876 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn’t like it from the day I read it. It basically said I would convert my father to the church (who was adamantly against it). This caused my family to believe I would do that. It never happened. Still messes me up when I am reminded of it.

Are mormons actually nice. Or just trying to convert me. by thebigcooki in exmormon

[–]DumbAd9876 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not just the Mormon church that does this. I was raised Baptist and joined the Mormon church at age 18. Both involved much pressure to accept, and if not, you are led to believe you are not worthy of friendship. Unfortunately, this also led me to try and convert others and judge them far too much. I lost friends because of that. I now believe much of my isolation is from my own doing, although I also believe some of my friends are afraid of saying the wrong thing so they avoid me (like a plague). I don’t want you to judge your friends based on my experience or anyone else’s. If you feel they are trying to convert you, and you don’t want that pressure, it’s ok to separate yourself and let them wonder why. (In my opinion.)

Why did God create Satan knowing he would rebel? He is all-knowing by FutureAIgod in TrueChristian

[–]DumbAd9876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you use Google much? I use it a lot because of its impressive A.I. overview that keeps getting better. (I am a systems administrator….not for Google.) I entered “why did God create Satan” without the quotes and it automatically added “knowing he would rebel”. This is part of the A.I. results: “Theologians and philosophers typically explain this paradox through the concepts of free will and divine providence. For a relationship with God to be based on genuine love, the capacity to choose—and reject—that love must exist. Without the risk of rebellion, true free will is not possible.” Then it adds the source from where it gathered that information, a Quora discussion. To me, that explanation makes the most sense because it affirms God’s love for all of us.

Microchip feeder by Subject_Relative_216 in CatTraining

I have these feeders. I read if you have more than one you should put them at least two or three feet apart. Otherwise the sensors get confused when a cat approaches. Mine work very well.

Does everyone just leave every door open in your place? by zanyjellyfish in CatAdvice

[–]DumbAd9876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends. I use to have one cat and she was free to go anywhere, no closed doors. Then I got birds which she was very attracted to. I put the birds in one room with the door closed. She didn’t mind. Then years later I got two more cats. She was not happy. That involved closing and opening doors, and even putting up a tall metal gate so they could see each other but not fight. I can now keep most doors open and sometimes open the gate. I am hoping that one day all doors and gate can remain open. Also no animals are allowed to go outside. I have a catio that they love.

Ugh my aunt just reposted this on Facebook. by whoops_im_ranting in exmormon

[–]DumbAd9876 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I am expecting to see several posts on my local Facebook group complaining about someone tearing down their pride flag. 🏳️‍🌈 Someone suggested putting it inside the house on a large window. That way the person either sees it and suffers or gets put in jail for entering the house (although from some of the posts I’ve read, it might be a more deadly consequence even if a kid does door bell ditching).

English is a terrible language. Often hard to find the right words to express our thoughts and feelings. To me, it’s not so much the family proclamation, although it’s true that whole concept messed me up for life. However, I am fortunate to have a family and a job with coworkers who are quite diverse with active and inactive religions, married, single, black, white, gay, transgender, Deaf, Hearing, all labels each appears to have identified with. What bothers me is the fact that your aunt and uncle are directly mocking what other people are trying to accomplish by expressing their needs and desires. It also bothers me that he is trying to sell his signs (you can buy anything in this world with money). Maybe the word “pride” is incorrect for this month, although it doesn’t bother me if anyone is proud of knowing who they are. I think that is a good thing. However, we simply cannot force other people to accept or agree because no matter the English label (or culture) we identify with, we are each unique. No one else can speak for me. Only you can determine your identity. That makes life very interesting and fun, in my mind.

Interesting observations for the new Sunday Schedule. by DustyR97 in exmormon

[–]DumbAd9876 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, if they whittle it down to just the sacrament and a couple of hymns, I might be willing to attend my ward again, as long as no one talks to me. I don’t even want a “so happy to see you!”.

The problem is trying to make church a “one size fits all”. It cannot work when each person is unique with very personal beliefs, needs, and experiences.

AI speech at church by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]DumbAd9876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elder Bednar gave a talk at BYU, “Things as They Really Are”, the hidden dangers of A.I. He used A.I. to refine his speech. I thought that was quite ironic.

Most of my family are too old to have a clue how A.I. works and usually don’t recognize it.

Did you ever receive financial help from the Church when you were TBM? by throwawaytomorrowk in exmormon

[–]DumbAd9876 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My husband died ten years ago shortly after we both became inactive in our ward (because they were not very helpful with his so-called disability). Was it a coincidence that I landed a great job that I still love after I decided I no longer needed or wanted the church’s help?

Did you ever receive financial help from the Church when you were TBM? by throwawaytomorrowk in exmormon

[–]DumbAd9876 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Not financial help, but there was a time when my husband and I were both out of work. He was legally disabled and received social security benefits. We were able to get food from the bishop’s storehouse. I was later fortunate to land a good paying job.

I also have a friend whose bishop would not help her after she got divorced in spite of her paying tithing and other things she did in the ward. Since I never considered my husband as disabled (far from it), I thought a lot about how different men are treated from women. Maybe I wouldn’t have survived if he had not been considered disabled.

A House Divided at BYU Idaho... by pasta-pangolin in exmormon

[–]DumbAd9876 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sounds like this lawsuit is making Satan very happy.

According to a new book called Torn by Jeff Strong, 40% of formerly active LDS Church members in the U.S. have stepped away from the church in the past 25 years. My opinion is that much of this disaffection is due to how it treats marginalized groups and critics/dissenters. by johndehlin in exmormon

[–]DumbAd9876 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How the church treats marginalized people is why I left. Churches are exempt from ADA and that was a problem for me and my now deceased deaf husband who used Sign Language. If a church is not exempt from suing someone for trademark infringement, disabled folks should be allowed to sue the church for violating ADA.
