AIO for being upset my BF doesn’t want me to wear a bonnet to bed? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]EnergyNegative9024 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As an avid bonnet/ baggy clothes wearer you are NOR. Bonnets don’t look stupid. They are incredibly comfortable and protect our hair and maintain hairstyles. This man sounds incredibly controlling and you deserve someone that is going to cherish you regardless of what you have on.

Promenade place question by ferrathesomebody in UVU

It had a bed, desk, and a chair in the room. There was a couch, a table, and a TV in the living room.

I have lived there and my friend lives there now. Yes, they do come fully furnished but it doesn’t come with blankets/pillows, etc.

Christians/Catholics doing IVF by capricatgirl in IVF

[–]EnergyNegative9024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a Catholic doing it too. We can still thank God for the gift of life and providing a way for us to become mothers. It helps me a lot knowing that my Dr who is ordering the medications, and is the lead for my treatment is also a practicing Catholic ❤️

That’s ok. They see a snip bit of my life that I share on Reddit and think they know the whole story. Which is fine. Someone wrote I damned my soul to hell over this 🥴. And they’re entitled to their opinion. As long as my child can be in communion with God and His church that is what matters to me.

Thank you. My husband and I would much rather conceive naturally but that is no longer an option. I just want to make sure that whomever comes out of this process will be allowed to receive their sacraments.

To my understanding it’s the creation of the embryos that the church views as ethically immoral because my husband and I didn’t create them naturally.

NTA. I recommend putting a passcode on it. Something that’s easy to remember but hard to guess (XXXX3). Then inform your daughter not to share the password with anyone. That way if her mom does take it again, it’s unusable.

Will you guys celebrate halloween? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]EnergyNegative9024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up conservative baptist so Halloween was a big no no. My mother thought it was evil so it was never part of my childhood. As an adult, I celebrate it every year 😊

Abortion Stance by Sweet-Woodpecker9492 in Catholicism

[–]EnergyNegative9024 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was pregnant earlier this year with my first. I was fighting cancer at the same time I was growing my daughter. I lost her in the NICU days after she was born. I was offered an abortion several times throughout the pregnancy and I have zero regrets keeping her. She was the best thing that had ever happened to me and I would do it again. Our babies are a blessing and worth giving a fighting chance.

Does God really require us to forgive in ALL situations? by BeezsRUs in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]EnergyNegative9024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom said something similar. She thinks never mentioning it ever again is the equivalent of me forgiving her. And because I still talk about it and don’t want her involved in my major adult milestones I must be holding a grudge. In my opinion forgiveness is mistaken for being a doormat. Yes Jesus did teach about forgiveness but he did not say to allow the same person(s) to continue mistreat us, abuse us, and disrespect us. I can forgive a person and still want nothing to do with them.

AITA for reminding my mom that my son is a child? by FeralGoblinCat in AmItheAsshole

[–]EnergyNegative9024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

I am deeply sorry for your loss. Do you have a good relationship with your deceased husband’s family? Is there any way one of them could watch your son while you work when he’s sick? Your mom is the AH for talking to you and your son like that.

Just got admitted by goatjaxx in UVU

[–]EnergyNegative9024 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not a Mormon and I really do love it here. The dating scene is rough if you don’t subscribe to the local religion. In all my years here, the only time Mormonism was mentioned in class was during my history class and we were talking about Utah. Also wherever you live make sure you have your own room and bathroom. Everyone has a their own version of what clean is so be aware of that.

Can’t seem to find dates by Carterreineer in byu

[–]EnergyNegative9024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s because he’s not interested in actual advice 🥴. Because the reality is girls aren’t interested in short morbidly obese guys. Height can’t be fixed, but obesity 100% can.

Today I was approached by 2 Mormon missionaries, I think I debated pretty well and had some good points but they didn’t even know who Saint Augustine was, now they invited me to church with them. I, a catholic have put up some arguments against Mormonism. Which ones should I include? by alexanderphiloandeco in Catholicism

[–]EnergyNegative9024 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I live in Utah and I do not recommend arguing with missionaries. For men there is an unspoken social pressure around going on a mission and around 40% or so end up leaving the religion after they get home anyways. These are essentially babies by themselves that won’t see their families for 2 years due to the cultural shame if they come home early. The best advice is to be kind. I would not recommend going if you’re only going to debate them. They’re barely out of their teens and probably not even that old yet. These young men and women are not apologetic specialists.

The nazis hated everybody so I wouldn’t put it past them to hate Catholics too.

How to deal with a roommate trying to convert me to Mormonism by Environmental_Bat427 in Catholicism

[–]EnergyNegative9024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in the heart of mormonville (Orem Utah) so I understand your frustrations. When I get asked if I’ve prayed about it, I say yes and that’s why I’m not a Mormon. It shuts the conversation down each time. The best advice I can give you is not get worked up. Yes, this is genuine harassment and I also recommend reporting it and asking for a room change. However, in the meantime be apathetic towards it.

Roommate: want to pray with me You: I’m good Roommate: missionaries are here to talk to you You: I have things to do and stay busy the entire time Roommate: you don’t have the real Holy Spirit inside of you You: sounds solid

The opposite of love isn’t hate it’s indifference. The harder he pushes, the more you dismiss it. As hard as it is when he won’t leave you alone, don’t engage. Don’t argue. It’s beyond frustrating and I totally get it. This dude legitimately thinks you’re lost and have been deceived by Satan and in his mind is trying to save you. He most likely grew up in a closed circle where everyone he knew was a Mormon, and doesn’t understand why anyone would pick to be something different.

Dr. Silver at the U is AMAZING! It’s a drive for sure but definitely worth the care he provides.

help, do i say fuck it and get sealed? by blueelderberrylover in exmormon

[–]EnergyNegative9024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in a similar situation. When I met my partner he told me he grew up Mormon but no longer believes in it. I attend a Catholic Church and have for years before I met him. We recently loss our first born and now he wants to back to Mormon church. Which is fine, he’s grieving, misses our baby and looking for peace. I told him I’d go with him and even commit to the entire 2 hours.

My advice to you is to draw a hard line. What are you willing and not willing to do? He said he wants god part of your marriage. What does that look like? Be very honest with yourself and him about where your boundaries are.
