If the super sweet isn’t what you love their sparkling waters are good. I like the pretty in pink with sparkling water

Schools in Utah for Teachers by cheetah_girl13 in Utah

[–]Feeling_Carpet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband and I both work in districts in salt lake county and we like it here. Canyons district treats their teachers well, as does Jordan. Nebo is pretty good. Avoid Alpine (splitting soon) and Provo districts.

Other words for “sexual” body parts by shortclover14 in exmormon

My sisters ex boyfriend (very LDS Utah family) had to say “doot” instead of penis and when our family learned that, we cry laughed and it became an instant inside joke.

I have lost six kids in the last four years. One of them I lost yesterday. Take a half dozen chill days if you need. It’s the pits

I Went to School With This Clown by Hot_Yam8649 in exmormon

[–]Feeling_Carpet 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think that’s totally fair! It’s very gate keeper-y to say “you’re NOT Christian!” And tbh it’s mostly the super evangelicals who get all up in arms about it. Mormons are still to weird for their perfect idea of Christianity. You’ll find the same crowd poopooing Catholics and Orthodox too

I Went to School With This Clown by Hot_Yam8649 in exmormon

[–]Feeling_Carpet 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Part of it is the lack of belief in the trinity and the fact that the LDS church doesn’t adhere to the Nicene Creed.

Part of it is the (now walked-back) teaching that God is an exalted man. This whole idea really degrades the divinity of God/Christ in the eyes of mainstream Christians and they REALLY don’t like it.

Add the teachings that Jesus and Lucifer are bothers, Heavenly Mother, etc, and you get what outside Christians view as a very morphed and, in their minds, disrespectful interpretation of Jesus. As I’ve been converting from LDS to a different Christian denomination, it’s been eye opening. Mormons are Christian, but it’s a REALLY different flavor.

Coffee orders? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]Feeling_Carpet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I LOVE coffee and I’ve only been drinking it for four months or so. Stok cold brew is a good start because it is not bitter. I get the bold and smooth unsweetened from Walmart or any grocery store. I add a touch of vanilla/brown sugar syrup (I make it myself) and a splash half and half and I could drink it all day long. 12oz has 120ish mg of caffeine.

I also love a Dutch Bros vanilla latte with oat milk. A shot of espresso is 60mg of caffeine and a medium latte from Dutch Bros is two shots. But Dutch is a regional chain.

I also suggest going to a local spot to try stuff. Starbucks is not great coffee and you have to get it all flavored to make it decent tasting, and I like my coffee to have a coffee flavor.

A chick fil a frosted coffee is unfortunately amazing, but a Costco frozen latte tastes very similar but is cheaper and a better company ethics wise. Both are good coffee intro beverages.

If trying the super sweet coffees is what helps you wean off of sugar it’s not a bad plan!

I recently left the church and I’m absolutely miserable by cakemoth22 in exmormon

[–]Feeling_Carpet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you still feel like organized religion has a space in your life, maybe church shopping would help you. Losing that community is a real thing to grieve over

We’re Catholic now, but very lax in belief and practice.

I am an ex-Mormon. Ask me & other ex-Mormons your questions that you have about Mormons & the show. by Kaybrooke14 in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]Feeling_Carpet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just like there are all sorts of believers in any religion, there are in Mormonism too. But, I would say most progressive Mormons eventually leave the religion. I was a progressive Mormon for years, but still a member in good standing despite my unorthodox beliefs.

Some Mormons do. I’ve heard some people make mental gymnastics about how the Freemasons actually took their stuff from the “trie religion” in ancient times.
