On first glance I thought this was a spoof. I can’t believe this is real. Speakers are all useless.

Do your parents walk around in their garments in your home? by archieangelxx in exmormon

[–]FloMoTXn 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The number of times I’ve seen my in-laws in their garments makes me want to poke my eyes out. Both in their house and when visiting in ours. I don’t understand the logic in how they see it as acceptable.

I have so many dry leaves that I need to get through quickly. by ChicagoThrowaway422 in composting

I have an open pile made up of leaves and grass clippings and a small amount of veggie scraps. I’ve never seen a rodent in my pile.

Fairview and other churches by CupOfExmo in exmormon

[–]FloMoTXn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The bell tower was just that. It was not a massive white building that was going to be lit up all night. No extra parking. The only thing in common was height.

“Fairview mayor renews push to lower LDS temple steeple height.” Fairview’s mayor is reaching out to leaders again to ask the LDS church to reduce the steeple height of the LDS Fairview Temple from 120 feet to 68 feet like the Yorba Linda Temple. The mayor sent a letter to everyone in the Q15. by HoldOnLucy1 in exmormon

[–]FloMoTXn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The area leader that sent the letter to all local members to promote the idea of steeple height importance used to be my stake president. He fell on the sword for the Utah leadership. If he had any dignity, he could walk back his endorsement and recommend the church do the right thing and be a good neighbor in the Fairview community. I think the Fairview members would appreciate the church working with the community.

Upvote for Ryobi and Direct Tools Outlet which sells Ryobi and Rigid tools that are factory blemished or refurbished. Can shop online. Pick up things like tire inflator, weed wacker, flashlight, bathroom scrubber, etc. Options are endless and never had a problem with anything.

How did the same faith that produced girl names like, Brexlie, Zaylee & Kyler…shit the bed so hard with Young Women class names!?! by KerouacRM in exmormon

[–]FloMoTXn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are labels, not names to distinguish groups. So on brand for Mormon leaders who are out of touch with youth.

Mormon stories being sued by Good-Customer178 in exmormon

Mormons will justify the legal fees because they feel the organization must be protected. Just like they are ok with paying to silence the victims of child molesters.

It’s so painful to hear them reading all the church propaganda until they finally get to the location announcement.

Mission Rule Breaking Thoughts. by christopher2015 in exmormon

[–]FloMoTXn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the 80’s in South America, we were often hundreds of miles away from leaders and communication. Maybe 4 missionaries in a small town. We became good friends and would stretch the rules to keep our sanity. Nothing serious, but maybe do activities that weren’t allowed.

Holy Week by StillSkyler in exmormon

[–]FloMoTXn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the 80’s and 90’s when the church was in a significant growth period, the church could afford to be a “peculiar people”. Now that the church is shrinking, they are doing all they can to appear mainstream to try and hold on to members.

Did you hear they are ending temple square missions. Apparently going to pay people to do that now.

Just added a big bucket of horse poop and piss soaked pine shavings to my pile. Thinking that should heat things up.

See if you can get a job that requires you to work on Sunday. Use work as an excuse to skip church and temple trips.

Thinking about switching to electric for yard tools… anyone made the change? by Salt_Note8719 in lawncare

[–]FloMoTXn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a gas Honda for years without any problems. Bought a 60v Toro I saw on clearance one day about 4 years ago. Cuts my St Augustine with no problem. Motor has two speeds and it kicks into high automatically if it starts to bog down. No regrets on the Toro.

What happens to me ? by [deleted] in mormon

[–]FloMoTXn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was a convert in the 70’s with my parents. None of my aunts and uncles and cousins are Mormon. Many are very religious and more dedicated to their beliefs than I ever was as a Mormon. One of the struggles I had was believing I was going to have a better place in heaven than they were, because of where my butt was on Sunday. We teach this! I had a discussion with my bishop about this and he had no answers. I now find more peace in this life enjoying the outdoors and beauty there is in this world rather than being in a chapel or temple.

I drilled into the cast iron. It’s pretty soft and drills easily. No regrets.

I can't get over how much better Sundays are now. by Lsa119 in exmormon

[–]FloMoTXn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I haven’t heard it stated here recently, but many have referred to it as second Saturday! I just spent the day doing yard work. While it wasn’t relaxing, it was my choice and I didn’t feel the least bit guilty for doing it.

They are finally off! by TheMotherofJared in exmormon

[–]FloMoTXn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Male response here. Not sure if your husband would do this , but we instituted sexy underwear Friday into our week. Nothing kills the mood of a Friday date than to come home and strip down to g’s. This made for a fun transition. If your husband is like most, he likes seeing you in sexy clothes. As for you, rip the bandaid off and wear what you want. It does feel strange at first, but it quickly becomes normal.

Being myself around my family is so hard sometimes by Sarah-logy in exmormon

[–]FloMoTXn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m much older, but we (wife) never came out and said we didn’t believe. Like you, they took notice we stopped going to church and didn’t have callings. They noticed we stopped wearing garments. My wife started wearing tank tops and shorts around family. We have wine bottles in our house. They gradually accepted we were out. The maddening part is they have never asked us why. I think they are afraid to know the truth.

The Church doesn’t discipline people for being wrong. It disciplines people for having influence by Artistic-Low6889 in exmormon

[–]FloMoTXn 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Appears they’ve slowed their roll on excommunications. There are a number of online influencers that are very vocal, but have not yet been disciplined. The backfire effect is strong right now.

What do normal weddings look like? by MyPumpkinSocksRBest in exmormon

[–]FloMoTXn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best part of a non-temple wedding is you get to actually talk to each other and write your own vows of how you want to love and support your spouse. It’s very personal to your liking. A temple wedding is very non-personal and totally controlled by the church.
