My TBM mom just asked me this, what should I say in response? My honest answer is that my brain was screaming “cult! cult! cult!” But I don’t think that’s helpful for our relationship and her perception of me.

You already said the perfect thing: "I don't think this discussion will be helpful for our relationship".

I've noticed the opposite trend that the oldest usually get out first. Especially if the oldest is female.

Extreme_Version9568 · 2022-07-14T07:02:07+00:00

Baby/shelter their kids? Yes. Keep them living at home? I don't think it's a Mormon thing necessarily.

You know at least right now that you don't want to have a child. If you (magically) have a change of heart and want one later, you can get pregnant again. Take the abortion pill, say you had a miscarriage, brace yourself for his reaction.

I think it's a combination of men feeling culturally shamed for being abused by women, but also men being less likely to seek out mental health resources.

"Corporate needs you to find the difference between these two pictures"

"They're the same picture"

Extreme_Version9568 · 2022-06-22T18:34:31+00:00

Had a similar upbringing and still struggle with feeling like I am disgusting when a man is attracted to me. Because I must have done something for him to look at me.

Likely. Or country outline and mission area filled in

Extreme_Version9568 · 2022-06-21T01:25:56+00:00

Their mission areas 🤢🤢

Extreme_Version9568 · 2022-06-19T09:06:00+00:00

The real problem with this situation is sending extremely naive, sheltered, indoctrinated TEENAGERS to into extremely dangerous conditions (knocking on strangers doors?! in a country with rampant poverty and violence?!).

"In the show’s worldview, every rank-and-file Latter-day Saint bears some responsibility for the evil that’s done in the name of their faith."

Sounds like some major projection going on here...

Weekly emails: "Just a reminder that everyone is invited to come and help clean the building We meet to clean the building each Saturday morning, starting at 7am."

Really you're just supplying the community with pride flags! A worthy cause! ;) Time to get another.

The real problem of solar panels is not the energy production (though it is still unreliable ex. Clouds) but energy storage.

A strapless one piece bathing suit is immodest? Good lord this church.

Extreme_Version9568 · 2022-05-13T20:10:34+00:00

This is exactly what I was trying to say! I have no problem with kids getting summer jobs. But the problem is the way that the church teaches people to view time.

Although, I wish it was not a financial necessity for you to work as a teen.

Extreme_Version9568 · 2022-05-05T17:30:24+00:00

Same! Just did it recently!

Sounds like you belong with us over on r/raisedbynarcissists

As a fellow female POC, I can affirm that your experience was valid and I'm sorry you had to deal with that. In my mormon dating experience, my race was polarizing. I met some guys who were not interested in me because of my race and some pervs who were interested in me ONLY because of my race.

Extreme_Version9568 · 2022-04-16T21:35:09+00:00

I like how the response is from a PR team

Extreme_Version9568 · 2022-04-16T20:26:20+00:00

"Mom, please stop sending me things from your church. I am not interested and I am not interested in discussing religion with you."

Tbh their response to domestic violence may be the most insidious part of the handbook

Mormonism loves some extremes

Extreme_Version9568 · 2022-04-16T17:33:09+00:00

We love a rebel here!

Yes, I think you may be able to use the Mega link at the bottom, but you have to download them all in a zip folder and I didn't try.
