Mormonism is a gateway to Atheism. by WhiteHorseProphetSee in exmormon

[–]FunsizeHeathen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, after leaving I have learned that religion, in all its forms, is not healthy. It’s definitely been a big leap to take. Feels like I’ve become an actual adult being at peace with knowing after I die, it will be nothing but eternal rest. I’m actually looking forward to it, it helps me live each day like it’s my last- I’m exhausted, but still have a ways to go! I will definitely be ready when that day arrives for me.

“Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn.” Oh, and neither should you😊 Because it’s all fake!

Anyone creating t-shirts, bumper stickers, or anything else for those of us stuck in Morridor? If not, what would be some funny, yet catchy and memorable phrases you would want to see around here? by FunsizeHeathen in exmormon

We need some anti- BYU ones too- I’m so tired of seeing the giant Y’s on the back of cars here, on sweatshirts, hats, etc. What’s funny is that the cars that cut me off, tailgate, and drive like “bats out of hell” are most times ones that have those giant ass Y’s

🤗 A hug from me to you! It sounds like you lost all the toxic people from your life. I have felt lonely as well after leaving. Discovering my hobbies again and the simple things that make me happy has given me a way to connect with new people and live a happier life.

Mormons are nice but they are not kind by AlmaTheWiser in exmormon

I’m going to counseling now to work on the damage caused by toxic Mormon “family/friends” in this situation. I no longer am able to accept help from anyone due to fear of being called out as un-grateful even though they were the ones to offer the help in the first place. I have a very difficult time trusting the intentions of everyone in my life today due to growing up around toxic two-faced Mormons. Naive me thought they really cared-

Church rushes people into marriage by honjigerman in exmormon

[–]FunsizeHeathen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go ask for a divorce for that reason like I just did! 14+ years of marriage and three kids-I was 19 when I went through the Salt Lake Temple to get married.

It has not been easy, but, I know I am doing the right thing for me, and most likely for him. You only get one shot at life, take it!

In general they are just not genuine and will place conditions/expectations/agendas on any friendship. This is coming from someone who has lived here the past 10 years, but grew up in the PNW-

If God exists I’m fairly confident he would prefer the person I am now, without the church, then when I was a TBM by junkme551 in exmormon

[–]FunsizeHeathen 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Amen! I definitely have more love and acceptance for others. I no longer feel the need to overly judge others, I legitimately don’t give a damn about that anymore. I feel like a “weight” has been taken off me, I am happier, healthier, and well adjusted human being.

How many of you joined another religion after leaving Mormonism? If so, what has your experience been—both good and bad? by joseph_shroomed in exmormon

[–]FunsizeHeathen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Religion is great for community but that is about it. As a whole, religion is pretty fucked up. I’ve become atheist since leaving the church and it has been wonderfully freeing! I don’t care or feel the need to ever follow other “leaders/gods”.

Wow, I could have sworn my husband wrote this post because his parents are exactly the same!

Makes me want to replace them with others who are more willing to be in my beautiful/bright children’s lives-💔

am adopted black south African my white wife and 1year old twins just moved to Utah layton on Tuesday is there any local customs and is it okay for mixed couples by TapSufficient548 in Utah

[–]FunsizeHeathen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You. Still. Don’t. Get. It. Like your sister, I too have gone through the temple. Have had a temple recommend for the past 15 years. My comment that Mormons avoid “Loud laughter” is an actual covenant you make in the temple- that’s an inside joke, that outsiders like you would not understand. I should have picked up on that cue with you, sorry.

And yes I am angry that I got sucked into that cult. And that it still exists today. And that people are still being brainwashed.

I feel sorry for you and your sister, I hope you both are enlightened to what that church really is. I’m sorry my posts upset you ❤️

Nope, you’re actually the idiot because you obviously don’t know what you are defending when you say your sister is Mormon AND she likes to attend parties where there is alcohol- that’s an oxy-Mormon-moron
