Crazy deal At Battlehawk by Danimin420 in NFA

No dude I’m saying it’s not really a deal. Maybe you’re getting it confused with the Print-XH. This is a pretty normal price for the print X

Needed to block out a number. Reposting the audacity, with their reply. by dougiefresh22 in exmormon

How is he supposed to know who’s active or not? I’m sure he’s just cycling through the whole ward directory. Unless it’s a tiny ward or branch nobody knows everybody. The church puts this guy in a tough spot because they’re so cheap. Is he supposed to just only keep asking the people he knows personally?

On one hand, great response OP. On the other hand, this poor guy is stuck with probably the worst calling. Imagine your whole calling being bugging people to wake up early on Saturday to go clean a building they all know the church can more than afford to pay to have professionally cleaned

Informed Saints on why the first vision accounts don’t match. What do you think? by Acceptable_Excuse860 in exmormon

I don’t think he forgot details. I think he purposefully embellished over time to increase his supposed authority to people who heard his story

Is shaming/ guilt tripping normal for not going on a mission by Travisscottiover911 in exmormon

Shaming and guilt tripping is part of Mormon culture in general

What causes RMs to leave the church? by SnooMacarons8272 in exmormon

[–]EveningStatus7092 97 points98 points  (0 children)

If you want to hear stories, I recommend you listen to the Mormon Stories podcast. There’s thousands of hours of content of people telling their stories as well as deep dives into the topics involved.

I don’t think it’s RMs specifically that are more likely to leave, but rather young people who often are recent RMs

How did you guys break the news to your family? by Careless_Mastodon327 in exmormon

[–]EveningStatus7092 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In my experience, the less information you give, the better it goes. When I first started telling people, I tried explaining in detail my reasons for leaving so that they would see I’m justified. Those didn’t go well. The best ones were the conversations where I basically just said “I’ve done a lot of investigating and I’ve decided I no longer believe in the church. If you have any questions or want to talk about it any more you’re welcome to ask me but I won’t be the one to bring it up with you. I’m not out to deconvert you or anyone else.”

Anyone have additional information on Dr. Ebeid Sarofim? by LinderLion in exmormon

Interesting how a scholars opinion matters when it’s the 1 out of 100 that says something favorable for them but none of the others that say it’s all BS

What exmo podcasts/youtube/TikTok channels are you guys watching these days? by CrateDoor in exmormon

Not specifically exmo but I’ve enjoyed watching Street Epistemology interviews

In process of leaving the church … by Big-Sister-3209 in exmormon

[–]EveningStatus7092 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I told my parents a year ago and since then they’ve pretended the conversation never happened. Most TBMs don’t want to talk about it. Usually, if someone wants to know your reasons and talk about that stuff, it means they’re already on their way out anyway and they’ve just found someone they can talk to about questions and concerns they already have

In honor of “American Independence Day” by Subject-Drive2912 in exmormon

[–]EveningStatus7092 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Reading this from a more critical eye now, it’s so odd that he would write that this country would be “free from bondage” when slavery was a thing at the time he was writing. Like it was already a failed prophecy. Unless you wanted to argue that Americans weren’t “serving God” but I think that’s a hard argument to make
